Hi,
I bought an Olympus Pen EES-2 a week or two ago, and as of yet haven't taken any pictures with it.
I noticed in the lens, there is an opening (as you can tell, I don't know much about cameras) that does not change size as I move any dials...
Here is a pic...
Is this a problem, and how could it be remedied?
Thanks,
Dave |

Hmm, I don't think that worked.
Here's a link...

Dave - the lens aperture should change, as does the shutter speed, automatically when you depress the shutter release. It's governed by the light cell inside - BUT - if it hasn't been used for a long time they may be stuck. They are fixable if necessary and there is a very helpful link in this website.

Put a cheap film through it and make sure the lighting levels are varied, so that you really test the auto mechanism. This will be the best way for somebody who does not know a lot about the mechanics of a camera, to test it.
If the results are OK, you need do nothing except use the beast. If camera is faulty, you can look up the repair information and decide how you are going to repair it. |
