Olympus AF10 Super, an Easy to use 35mm Compact Film Camera

The OlympusOlympus introduced its first camera in 1936, the Semi-Olympus I, fitted with the first Zuiko-branded lens. The first innovative camera series from Olympus was the Pen, launched in 1959. The half-frame format, allowing 72 pictures of 18 × 24 mm format on a standard 36-exposure roll of film, made Pen cameras compact and portable for their time. Pixel More AF10 Super (Infinity Junior in the US) was released in 1987, a fully automatic 35mm film camera. It inherited the sliding cover design from the XA.

Features and Operation of the AF10 Super

The camera’s main features are:

• 35mm F3.5 lens, 3 elements in 3 groups, autofocusAutofocus (AF) is an optical system that uses a sensor, a control system and a motor to focus on an automatically or manually selected point or area. The process of autofocusing generally works as follows: • An autofocus processor (AFP) makes a small change in the focusing distance.
  • AFP reads the AF sensor to assess whether and by how much focus has improved.
  • Using the information from (2), the AFP sets the lens to a new focusing distance.
  Autofocus systems can be found on film and digital cameras. More with focus lock, min. focus 0,65m
• Electronic shutterEither mechanical and/or electronic shutters are possible. Mechanical systems can use a leaf (or iris) shutter or curtain shutter. In digital cameras a third alternative is also possible: the electronic shutter. This works by activating and then deactivating the CCD so that no further light can be recorded, regardless of whether light is hitting the CCD. The shutter controls the exposure time, which can range from thousandths of a second to several minutes or more. Fast shutter speeds freeze action, slow speeds are more suited to stationary subjects. A tripod is recommended for slow exposure shots to avoid camera shake, or IBIS. More, 1/45-1/360s, flash ready and focus o.k. indication in the viewer window
• Size 117x63x46, Weight 210 gr. without battery
• 50-1600 ISOInternational Organization for Standardization represents the film’s (or sensors) sensitivity to the light. The higher the number, the more information will be captured. 400 ISO film is more sensitive to light than 200 ISO film by 1 stop., automatic DX coding, self-timer, automatic film advance and (re-)spooling

Autofocus systems can be found on film and digital cameras. More is responsive and works well. Putting a film is easy as well, open the back, tear the film leader a bit further, drop the film and that’s it. The camera spools the film automatically. As with most point-and-shoot ultra compacts, auto flash is set at the start. There is no mid roll respool button.
