Instructions for the use of Olympus film camera u2 are urgently needed. Can someone tell me if you know about the fault?

No explanation is needed. Automatic winding, automatic unwinding, exposure, automatic focusing, automatic flashing, pure fool machine.

Copy and paste the first answer:

The unique and compact design of μ-Ⅱ will leave a deep impression at first sight. Its external dimension is (108mm× 59m× 37mm), which is smaller than the Logitech mouse I used (12 1mm×62mm×38mm). This design conforms to the principles of ergonomics and modern aesthetic concepts. It feels comfortable to hold in your hand, and its weight (excluding battery) is only 135g, which can be put in your coat pocket. Although the fuselage of μ-Ⅱ is small, the shutter button is larger than that of ordinary SLR cameras. But it is in harmony with the fuselage and the curve is smooth. This rectangular shutter button has a larger contact area with the index finger, which is more conducive to maintaining the stability of the camera when shooting.

Compared with the previous generation μ-I, μ-II has a smaller body, and the biggest improvement is the camera lens. μ-I lens has three lenses, three groups of apertures are F3.5, and μ-II is a newly designed four groups of four-piece structure. It includes an aspheric lens with an aperture of F2.8. Pocket cameras with an aperture of F2.8 are rare and are generally expensive high-end pocket cameras. For example, Nikon 28Ti. Contac T2, etc. are all above 4000 yuan. The aperture of F2.8 is very suitable for shooting when the light is insufficient and it is not convenient to use the flash.

μ-Ⅱ camera adopts active multi-point focusing or single-point focusing. The recent focusing distance is only 0.35m, and the lens imaging quality is very good. It is similar to ordinary SLR cameras in sharpness, contrast, sharpness and color reproduction. Shooting under different illumination, none of the four corners of the picture darkened. Before buying a camera, I consulted a foreign test data of μ-Ⅱ lens: "When the aperture shrinks to F4-F5.6, the resolution of the center reaches 90 line pairs /mm ... and the edge imaging also reaches an excellent level."

From the viewfinder, the barrel-shaped distortion of the window mullion with a distance of about 1.5m is obvious, and almost no deformation can be seen in the actual film. When shooting buildings, you can hardly see the vertical and horizontal edges. It seems that this lens contains an aspherical 35mm F2.8 lens, and the distortion is well controlled. Maybe the viewfinder has some parallax.

μ-Ⅱ has two metering systems, which have practical point metering function besides two-zone evaluation metering. Spot metering is not common in pocket cameras. When the background is too bright or too dark, or when using a high exposure precision reversal film, it is convenient to measure the light slightly.

The automatic lighting time of the electronic program shutter of μ-ⅱ camera is 4 seconds-11000 seconds. The automatic exposure range of EV 1-EV 17 is not much different from that of ordinary SLR cameras, and the film in ISO50-3200 range is automatically set. This machine can automatically load the film (rewind the tape halfway), just pull out the film head and cover the back cover at the winding mark.

μ-Ⅱ has six flash modes, automatic flash mode, which can automatically flash under insufficient light, backlight or fluorescent lamp. Red eye reduction mode, forced flash mode, off flash mode, night flash mode, night red eye reduction flash mode. In actual shooting, the most practical mode is the red-eye prevention mode, which has a good red-eye prevention effect. It would be better to add aperture priority exposure or exposure compensation function, but it is definitely not the price. The flash range of ISO film is 0.35 m-4.1m.. The charging time of the flash is 0.2-0.35 seconds. μ-Ⅱ also has self-timer (delay12s) and remote control function. The above functions include switching between point metering and dual-zone metering. It can be done by flash and selfie, which is very simple and convenient. Slightly insufficient is to press the flash and the self-timer button at the same time when switching spot metering. Because the buttons are relatively small and the two buttons are relatively close, it will take several times to complete.

The batteries used in the μ-Ⅱ camera include the 3V lithium battery on the back of the date. The lens cover is push-pull and can also be used as a power switch. When the power is turned off, the LCD screen on the back of the camera will also disappear. However, it does not affect the continuous time recording and automatic film loading on the back of the date (but does not show the completion of film loading). μ-Ⅱ, when the lens cover is opened for four and a half minutes, you don't use or choose to take a selfie, and if you don't operate the remote controller for 20 minutes, the LCD display will disappear automatically. If the power supply is not used for four hours, it will automatically turn off. μ-Ⅱ, a very fine energy-saving design, which many SLR cameras don't have.

μ-Ⅱ is an all-weather camera, which adds a lot of color to the camera. It is also one of the main reasons why I bought μ-Ⅱ. It can be used safely in windy, rainy and snowy weather. The winding transmission system of μ-I is composed of several engineering plastic pinions, which has poor durability. μ-Ⅱ designed a very small stainless steel arrow transmission system to replace gear transmission. Although the mechanical transmission efficiency is low, its durability has been greatly improved. At the same time, the structure is more compact, which is conducive to reducing the size of the camera.

Some problems have also been found in the actual use, and some suggestions are put forward for the reference of film friends. When using ISO 100 film automatic flash mode, sometimes the light is good, but the flash will start automatically. Because the program curve is not provided in the manual, you can choose a higher shutter speed or a metering system to measure the backlight to make up the light. In this case, I usually choose to turn off the flash mode to shoot. It not only saves electric energy without destroying the atmosphere, but also makes full use of the large aperture of F2.8, and the effect is good.

On page 43 of the manual, "This machine is equipped with a multi-beam autofocus system. With this system, even if the object is not in the center of the picture, the camera can automatically set the focal length. " There are also many articles introducing the system, and the focusing is very reliable and accurate. In fact, I feel that it has great limitations. For example, when shooting at a relatively close distance, the distance between several objects and the camera is basically the same (for example, several people take a group photo). At this time, focusing is not a problem even if the subject is not in the center of the viewfinder. If the picture is complex, the distance is far, and there are near, middle and distant views, and the subject is not in the center. The possibility of accurate focusing is not high. In fact, this is a bit "forced". In this case, even a SLR camera with multi-focus function needs eye control or manual adjustment to focus correctly. In order to improve the success rate of focusing, I usually choose single-point focusing, aim the focusing frame cross at the subject, press the shutter half-way to remember the focus, and then press the shutter completely after re-composition. Or try to use spot metering (if spot metering mode is adopted, it must be point ranging). The effect is very good, ranging and exposure are very accurate. μ-Ⅱ shutter stroke is very long, not mistaken.

Page 5 of the instruction manual "To prevent the golden light of fluorescent lamp from floating, the flash flashes automatically." Some publicity materials also say that "μ-Ⅱ flash can automatically correct the color imbalance caused by artificial light sources such as fluorescent lamps". My understanding of this sentence is: "μ-ⅱ camera uses sunlight color film in automatic flash mode, and automatically starts the flash to compensate the color temperature of its subject under the artificial light source with good light (if there is no such function under this light, don't start the flash) for color balance." I checked some other brands of cameras and didn't find this function. I have never filmed under this condition, and this function has been confirmed in the later shooting process.

Generally speaking, Olympus μ-Ⅱ is a cheap, compact and practical camera with high imaging quality. Very suitable for snapshots, it should be said that it is a good choice for photographers and professionals.
