In this article, we would like to introduce the light-receiving window of the exposure meter of the OLYMPUS half-size film camera released in 1962.
OLYMPUS PEN-D (Reference product)
The light-receiving window of the exposure meter is located on the camera body head above the lens.
It is located alongside the viewfinder window.

A large number of small, transparent, light-catching shaped windows are installed side by side.

In this article, we introduced the light-receiving window of the exposure meter of an Olympus film half-size camera released in 1962.
Unlike ordinary SLR cameras and compact cameras, this is a unique light-receiving window that is often seen in half-size cameras.
There are various designs of the light-receiving window depending on the manufacturer and year.
