In this article, we would like to introduce the shooting warning marks on OLYMPUS half-size film cameras released from 1973 to 1983.

OLYMPUS-PEN EE-3 (Reference product)

When shooting, the exposure meter senses the brightness from the light-sensitive area around the lens and automatically exposes the image.

In this case, if the camera is ready to shoot, the subject can be seen clearly through the viewfinder.

If the camera is not ready to shoot, a red warning mark will appear to indicate that the shooting environment should be changed or a flash should be used.

In this article, we have introduced the shooting warning marks on OLYMPUS half-size film cameras released between 1973 and 1983.

This warning mark is commonly known as the “red tongue. The image in this column is not very clear, but it is called “red tongue” because it looks like a tongue with the long hole shape halved.

I think this is a very good feature that is very easy to understand and allows anyone to enjoy film cameras easily.
