About this deal

If you want to buy some film we’re not sure what to buy or where then this article will help you out! How To Use The Olympus OM10 Top View Of Olympus OM10 To change the aperture you have to rotate the setting on the end of the lens, these numbers will read something like 1.8 to 22 or something similar. If you have no manual adapter then this is the only way to control the settings of the camera.

The OM-10 is a manual focus, aperture-priority camera. That means, you’re in charge of focusing and choosing the aperture setting, and the camera figures out what the shutter speed should be. Of the various automatic modes, I find aperture priority the most useful. That’s because I usually don’t care about the shutter speed so long as it’s not so slow that I need a tripod to avoid image blurring. What I do care about though is depth of field, which is selected by changing the aperture of the lens. You might have a different preference, but this is mine. I ultimately bought myself Olympus’ follow-up camera, the OM-G (aka OM20), which was essentially the same with a couple of added tweaks, notably built-in manual shutter speed control without requiring the OM10’s Manual Adapter. (If you find a working OM-G/OM20, jump on it!) A few years later, a friend who worked in a camera shop GAVE ME an OM-2n and a Zuiko 24/2.8 someone had brought in! To attach a flash you simply have to slide it into the hot shoe located on the top middle of the prism when using the flash and make sure you are using it at the correct flash sync speed which is 1/60. I was amazed that this guy wanted to trade all this for two simple point-and-shoot cameras, but that was his intention. I guess he wanted something more simple. Of course, I accepted his offer!

Take me to:

The Olympus OM-10 is a 35mm film camera produced by Olympus Corporation from 1979 to 1987. It is a manual focus camera that features a lightweight and compact design, making it portable and convenient to carry around. If we had any criticisms, it would be that we’d love to see a mic port to go along with the 4K video capabilities and flip down screen. However, this would likely start to step on the toes of the Olympus OM-D E-M5 line, so we can understand why Olympus didn’t include this on their entry-level camera.

Using a mixture of both lenses, most of the images – if not all of them – came out blurred. After a few rolls and testing different things, I was starting to get frustrated. This wasn’t my first time with film, so I felt that I knew what I was doing, but this was really testing me. I decided to put the camera away for a while so I could save up and find a camera store that still did services and repairs whilst I continued my university studies. Kodak Colour Plus 200 Kodak Colour Plus 200 The E-M10 doesn't have all the enthusiast trimmings of the E-M1, but it is targeted to a slightly more serious or developing photographer, rather than a casual snapshooter. With a built-in viewfinder, dual control wheels and number of customizable controls, it's aimed for the photographer who wants to take some control over shooting settings, though it does have an Auto mode for shooters not yet ready to take that step. It presents all of the light-and-compact benefits of Micro Four Thirds, with a few more SLR-like touches (viewfinder and direct controls) that an enthusiast will appreciate. During development, the Olympus design team led by Yoshihisa Maitani worked on a completely modular set of units called the MDN (Maitani-Darkbox-Normal), which resembled a 35mm Hasselblad. This camera was built as a prototype, and is sometimes referred to as the OM-X. A more conventional camera which integrated the shutter, film transport, mirror and viewfinder was called the MDS (Maitani-Darkbox-Simple). The MDS developed into what became the OM-1.

All the consumer-grade models were discontinued after 1992, since the market for manual-focus SLR cameras had declined greatly in favour of autofocus SLRs. The consumer line returned in 1997 with the Cosina-sourced OM-2000 model. Professional and advanced-amateur demand for the high-end models continued, and they were produced until 2002, along with the consumer-grade OM-2000. [1] Chronology of OM-system cameras [2] Model I made sure to test all of the above, and I can confirm that the face detection-related tweaks have been effective. The E-M10 IV was easily able to detect faces from a side profile or even when seen from well above with the subject not looking upwards at the camera. (And not just for actual people, but even for faces in statues and the like.) Autofocus was set just where I'd want it to be in these cases. We've always been huge fans of the twin control dial setup of the E-M10, as it allows you to make adjustments to both shutter speed, aperture or exposure compensation with ease when shooting manually. The Olympus OM10 is best for beginner photographers shooting travel photography, portrait photography, street photography and documenting day-to-day life. The OM10 isn’t really a professional film camera but it’s definitely a good place to start and still will produce some good results. I must admit, that although these results were not what I was after, they made for some great story telling.Just like its predecessor, the Olympus OM-D E-M10 Mark IV is incredibly lightweight and compact. However, Olympus has managed to shave 27g off the Mark IV, making it even more portable. The trade-off with a light camera tends to come down to the body material used to construct it. The Mark IV is made out of plastic, compared to the metal body of more expensive cameras, such as the Olympus OM-D E-M1 Mark III.
