I’m sorry

Because we can’t speak english

I am using DeepL translate, so it may be a strange sentence,

but I would like you to understand

Thank you



In this article, we would like to introduce the exposure meter of the OLYMPUS half-size film camera released in 1962.



OLYMPUS PEN-D (Reference product)



The exposure meter of the PEN-D is located on the ceiling of the body.


A needle in the vertical window indicates the value.


The hands move by receiving light from the light-receiving section at the top front.


The photo shows 12.


The movement of the needle shows that the value also changes with the way it receives light.



In this issue, we introduced the exposure meter of the OLYMPUS half-size film camera released in 1962.

Half cameras sometimes do not have an exposure meter depending on the period in which they were released, but the PEN-D is equipped with one, as if it were an orthodox camera.


I am impressed by the design concept of a compact half-camera that is firmly user-friendly and easy to understand.




We will continue to write columns on the interesting features and distinctive aspects of various film cameras in the future, so please look forward to them!


Thank you for reading my column today.
