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 issue, we would like to introduce the film rewind switch and crank handle of the OLYMPUS manual focus film SLR camera released in 1973.


OLYMPUS OM-1 (Reference product)


The film rewind switch is located above the self-timer lever on the front of the body. The crank handle is located on the top of the body next to the model nameplate.



To rewind the film, turn this round knob counterclockwise to the “R” position.



Then take out the crank handle and turn it clockwise. When it becomes light, the rewinding is complete.



This time we introduced the film rewind switch and crank handle of the OLYMPUS manual focus film SLR camera released in 1973.


The OM-1 has a film rewind switch.


I think it is a very good idea to have a rewind switch to prevent unintentional movement.






I will continue to write columns about design aspects and new discoveries that interest me about film cameras, so please look forward to them!


Thank you for reading my column today.
