You notice the two-step release? The camera will focus on what is in the center bracket in the finder. If that's not what you want sharp (for example, if you have two people side by side but you want them centered in the photo), put the bracket over what you do want sharp (one of the people), then press the button half way down and hold. Then, without letting the button up, frame for a pleasing image, and press the button the rest of the way down. Also, when loading film, see the red film leader image and stripe inside the left side of the camera? Put the leader to that red stripe -- DO NOT push it any further in! Then close the back. Last, a warning: for early rewind, do NOT use a sharp implement to push the small rewind button on the top. Anything sharp, especially a sharp pencil, may tear through the rubber button, defeating the weatherproofing. And, if a pencil, the pencil lead may short circuit the electrical switch on the circuit board underneath, causing many problems!
@@alexdavismittp My apologies -- I neglected to mention the "Focus Lock" button on the back of the camera. Refer to your instruction manual, page 23, regarding focus lock ("When subject is not in center of finder"). The written instructions are confusing, but here is how it works: Place the bracket in the center of the finder over what you want sharp in the image. Press and hold the "Focus Lock" button on the back of the camera, then gently press the release only enough to set the focus (you will hear a click), but not fire the shutter. WITHOUT LETTING UP ON EITHER BUTTON, reframe for a pleasing image, and press the release button the rest of the way to capture the image.
Can you please translate what is written on the small buttons just under the display? I don't find any information on internet and my camera stopped working, it would be a crucial information for me! Thanks

You mean left button on the back??
@@alexyouno the four buttons pressed in the video with the screwdriver to change the digits in the screen
@@alicebazzichelli881 That is focus lock button!
Before you press shutter release , holding down focus lock button and shoot
@@alexyouno what does the four buttons on the back do
@@O.S.O.M.Education hi! That is date and time set button.
Do you know how far the quartsback dates go up to? Many cameras can’t go past the year 2020 I’ve heard
I also can't make it. This camera is too old.
@@alexyouno thank you very much. I guess this means we are now in the future, according to Olympus?
Yes i think so
@Ollie Jordan I snorted at this!
hi! May I know under what circumstances do we need to use the focus lock button? Thanks!
1. focus on something
2. press focus lock button
3. you can change the composition
4. press the lock button while you are change the composition
5. and shot focus is not change
thanks ~~~ ciao!
@@alexyouno how to know whether the camera focuses or not? I do not hear anything...
@@Memmiliio Depress the shutter release about halfway and hold it there.
The autofocus indicator (GREEN) will light in the viewfinder.
is there any way to control whether the flash goes or not?
Unfortunately, can't control.
@@alexyouno thanks
Thx for this video 😍
