Olympus cameras from the end of the RF era like the 35RD/RC are differently constructed than other classical cameras as far as shutter and/or Auto mode mechanisms are concerned. The 35RD is dealt with in this forum's article section. The shutter firing in Auto with no battery installed indicates the neddle-trap mechanism needs adjustment. Before fiddling with it make sure the camera is in fully functional condition, as it usually suffers from a number of other issues like gummed up shutter blades. I feel it is not recommended to start tinkering with an RD, there are easier cameras more suitable for learning or taking first steps. If you are still inclined of doing it, please note that reassembly is a lot more demanding than taking things apart. |
