My father-in-law just gave one to my daughter Really appreciate this run-through. We have DSLR’s, but this will really give her a great history on cameras
@@forwardcameras someone believe that most of the vintage lenses are more or less radioactive (due to the presence of "rare earths" in the optical glass). There are some (slightly) radioactive lenses indeed, but that's not the most common case, and definitely not the case of any Olympus' lenses. No worries.
Hey! Could you please help me with the steps on using the self-timer? 😊 I just bought this camera and can't figure out if it's broken or if I'm just not knowledgeable enough. I'm pulling the advance lever, push the self-timer lever by 90 degrees, and push the little button next to it. After it goes off I can't seem to pull the advance lever so I think the photo wasn't taken. Thank you so much!
Thank you!!! My grandma was giving my granddad's cameras to the grandkids (he passed away at 39) and got this one. I had no idea how to use it.
No problem enjoy the video! Please subscribe

Nice and uncommon camera! May I ask you some more details about it?
Just for record, as I'm doing historical research about the Olympus FTL.
Thanks
A unique olympus camera indeed. Just make sure not to keep the lens in a place too close to you, it's most likely "hot"
Thanks for your response what do you mean by hot?
