Olympus Trip 35

There are several models of this camera. I have a 35RC and it does not meter in manual mode but the needle will still move to indicate the aparture you've selected. You can get shutter priority auto on mine by selecting the 'A' on the aparture ring and choosing a shutter speed.

Johan, I used a Trip 35 a lot of years ago (about 30), so I'm not exactly sure, but I think to remember it has not a manual mode, only adjustments for flash mode, that is, it always works on auto. By the way, it's an excellent camera, able to produce great pictures.

Great Camera. Without flash it only works in auto mode. The little red flag pops up into the viewfinder if the exposure required is outside the camera's range. I think you can download a manual from this site. http://www.kyphoto.com/classics/manuallinksmo.html

Thanks for the quick answers,

I think the question is solved by assuming that there is no Manual mode in the Oly trip 35. It has "only" an automatic mode and a mode for Flash.

By the way, the Oly35 RC, RD... differ from this model, as most of them are true Rangefinders and offer a few speeds to choose from (the Oly trip 35 only shoots at 1/200 or 1/40).

The 35RC is NOT a trip - which is COMPLETELY different.

Although its auto only (flash apart) you can fool the meter with the old trick of pointing it at whatever you want to meter off (like grass for a mid tone), half depressing the shutter & holding it, recomposing & shooting. Clumsy but functional.
