Olympus Trip Junior
- Brand: Olympus
- Name: Olympus Trip Junior
- Type: Snapshot camera
- Type of Film: 35mm
- Focal length: 33 mm
- Maximum aperture: f/4.5
- Focus: Fixed
- Shutter speeds: 1/125 s
- Flash / Flash connection: Built-in flash
- Release date: 1990
- Age: Up to 34 years
The Olympus Trip Junior is a simple snapshot camera. The 35mm camera was built by Olympus in the 1990s. It comes with almost no setting options and is therefore very easy to use. The original price at the time was 14,000 yen in Japan. The model was also produced in Japan.
The camera with its plastic housing has a fixed lens. With a focal length of 33 mm, the lens has a maximum aperture of f/4.5. A sliding door protects the lens from external influences.
The camera does not have autofocus, as the focus is fixed. For sharp photos, you should keep at least one metre away from the subject.
The camera has no manual exposure setting options. The aperture and shutter speed cannot be changed. The only setting option concerns the sensitivity of the film material. ISO 100, 200 and 400 can be selected using a slider on the front of the camera.
There is no tripod thread on this model. The Olympus camera also does not have a self-timer function.
However, a camera strap can be attached to the Olympus Trip Junior. At the time, it was sold with a matching bag.
If a little more light is required, the integrated flash triggers. This and the rest of the camera is powered by two AA batteries ( eBay / Amazon * ). These are also the power source for the automatic film transport.
Films for the Olympus Trip Junior
The instructions for the Olympus Trip Junior indicate that the camera uses 35mm film. This type of film is still being produced and can be developed in most photo labs without any problems. For vivid colour photographs, Kodak Gold 200 * is recommended, while Kodak T-Max 400 * provides excellent results for black and white images. Both films are known for their reliable quality and have proven themselves in tests.
The colour film is designed for the C-41 developing process, a standard process used by the majority of developing labs. In Germany, large drugstore chains also offer the development of C-41 colour film.
Quartz Date Version
In addition to the normal version, a Quartz Date version was also sold. This Olympus Trip Junior QD model has an inbuilt clock and can therefore imprint the recording time and date in a corner of the images.

The Olympus Trip 35 Review: Everything You Need To Know
I’ve worked with many Olympus Trip 35s over the years and I’ve discovered the pros and cons of this brilliant little rangefinder camera!
The Olympus Trip 35 is so popular because it’s very easy to use, it has a great lens and it’s ideal for the novice photographer. Also, the Olympus Trip 35 is one of the only 35mm cameras powered by the sun, making it really handy to take on holiday with you. Since 1967 10 million units have been sold, which is a tremendous amount even today.
If you want to know how this camera compares to others, how much you should be paying, some of its common issues and much, much more then read on!
I’ve worked with a hell of a lot of Trip 35s over the last few years and I like them because they’re really simple. If there’s something wrong with a Trip 35 I usually know it pretty much instantly because they aren’t especially complicated.
I’ve sussed out all the common issues, what can be fixed easily and what spells the end for an individual Trip 35. Usually, it’s lens fungus or an unreactive aperture that means doom for this little camera.
After years of working with them, I took one to the south coast of England to do a full review and I was actually pleasantly surprised by it. As you’ll see throughout the article, there are actually some good pictures that came from this ancient camera.
Some shots were let down by the very real limitations of this camera but on the flipside, due to the brilliant 40mm Zuiko lens, when the exposure is correct, its shots are great.
There are a lot of pros and cons to this camera so it’s well worth reading up on it to figure out if it’s the right fit for you. I enjoyed shooting it more than I expected but it wouldn’t be a camera that I’d rely on regularly.
Olympus Trip 35 Specs
Format – 35mm
ISO – 25 – 400
Battery – Solar Powered Selenium Battery
Exposure – Automatic
Shutter Speeds – 40 – 200
Flash – Hot Shoe
A Brief History Of The Olympus Trip 35
Introduced in 1967 and rolling on until 1984, the Olympus Trip 35 was completely ahead of its time. Sporting a solar-powered light meter in the late 60’s was pretty special.
Of course, Olympus’ market audience was pretty obvious, being named ‘Trip’, it’s kind of spelt out for you. Strong, reliable, doesn’t need any batteries, anyone could use it, that pretty much ticks all the boxes when it comes to a holiday camera.
Incredibly, over 10 million Trips were sold (Up for debate) and of course, they’re still being bought and sold to this day.
How Does The Olympus Trip 35 Battery Work?
The Olympus Trip 35 is powered by the sun using a selenium light meter which is the ring around the lens. This powers the light meter and allows the camera to choose the shutter speed and aperture (depending on which settings you have on). This would have been very unusual in its time but the fact that it’s still reliable today is brilliant.
Is The Trip 35 Lens Good?
Yeah, the Olympus Trip 35 has a pretty good lens but I’ve got to say, there are quite a few drawbacks. The lens itself is a beautiful 40mm 2.8 Zuiko lens, it’s pretty high quality for a camera that feels like a point-and-shoot.
I’d say the main drawback is that the focus is zonal and you only have 4 options. You should be able to see above, there’s a picture of one person, then two, then a group and then a landscape symbol. These are your focus options and it’s basically, 1.5m, 2m 3m and 6m and beyond.
This does limit the camera quite a lot but you’ve got to forgive a 50-odd-year-old camera sometimes.
The focal length is interesting, 40mm is pretty unusual but it’s still just wide enough to take the kind of pictures you’d usually take when you go on your holidays. It’d probably be preferable to have a 35mm lens but beggars can’t be choosers.
The Olympus Trip 35 Compared To The Olympus OM10
It’s worth comparing the Olympus Trip 35 with the Olympus OM10 as they’re currently at similar prices.
The Olympus Trip 35 isn’t that similar to the Olympus OM10, the Olympus Trip 35 is a small point-and-shoot rangefinder and the OM10 is an SLR however, it’s good to see what the Olympus Trip 35 is like in comparison to another well-known camera.
The Olympus OM10 would provide much better shots as it has better quality lenses and more control however, the Olympus Trip is more convenient, more compact and easier to use.
How Much Is The Olympus Trip 35 Worth?
Currently, the Olympus Trip 35 is worth around $100-125 or £70-100. You can of course get the Trip 35 for less if you try bidding for it on eBay or search thrift stores and flea markets but it’s worth trying to make sure that your Trip 35 is all working correctly.
What Kind Of Photography Is The Olympus Trip 35 Best For?
The Olympus Trip 35 is unsurprisingly best for travel-type photography. This camera was made with travel in mind as it’s small, compact, strong, easy to use and doesn’t require any batteries. Otherwise, this is also a good camera for day-to-day use. Photographers like David Bailey championed the Olympus Trip 35 believing that it was an incredibly high-quality camera.
Although the Olympus trip 35 has a great lens it’s not necessarily overly accurate and it’s not easy to focus correctly so despite the fact that it has a 2.8 lens it doesn’t mean it’s very likely that you’ll be able to focus correctly close range and get the most out of that lens.
This is not necessarily ideal for more professional types of photography and is definitely better to be used in day-to-day life and travel photography.
Is The Olympus Trip 35 Fully Manual?
The Olympus Trip 35 has two settings, one is an automatic setting that chooses your aperture and shutter speed for you, it decides between a shutter speed of 40 and 200 and between apertures of 2.8 and 22.
Alternatively, you can decide the aperture and the shutter speed will be decided by the camera. All focusing is manual and all ISO needs to be changed manually.
How To Use The Olympus Trip 35
Olympus Trip 35 is a very simple camera to use once you get the hang of it, until then understanding its limitations can be slightly hard.
If your camera seems not to be working properly try to leave it in the sun for some time to effectively charge its battery.
To open the back of the camera there is a small lever on the bottom of the side of the camera which just needs to be pulled down until the back pops open.
To change the aperture just rotate the ring at the base of the lens, this ring will show numbers from 2.8 two 22. If you want to shoot in automatically then turn it all the way around until the red ‘A’.
To change the ISO you just need to rotate the ring on the outer edge of the lens until you are to the correct ISO.
In order to focus you need to rotate the black ring on the lens. The closest focus mode is portrait mode, then there is middle-range portrait row mode, next, there are people standing further away from you and finally, there is a full landscape mode.
To attach a flash you simply have to slide it into the hot shoe located on the top middle of the prism.
To shoot and wind on you just have to press the shooting button on the top of the camera and then wind the black winder on the back of the camera until you can’t wind it any further.
To rewind the film you must first press the black button on the bottom of the camera to release the film and then wind the silver winder on the top left of the camera all the way back until it feels loose.
Common Faults Of The Olympus Trip 35
As the Olympus Trip 35 is a very old camera it has a number of common faults, hopefully, I can shed some light on these and help you avoid them or potentially fix them.
Commonly the red flag of the Olympus trip 35 will stop working, the red flag usually shows you when the scene would be too under-exposed. The red flag would appear at the bottom of the viewfinder when you are looking through it and would usually stop you from taking a picture if it’s too dark.
Sometimes the lens won’t react correctly to light, this is a great thing to check because if this is happening then it’s not really something that you can stop and it will ruin your photos. If this is happening the only advice I can give is to put it in the sun for a bit to see if this charges your selenium battery.
It’s likely that the light seals have worn away unless you bought your camera from a reputable dealer. You will probably have to replace a small number of light seals just to ensure that you do not get light leaks, this is fairly easy and if you want to find out how to do it then go to this link .
Lastly, the lens may have fungus and if the fungus is internal and it’s not something that would be easy to fix it would be much simpler just to get another one.
Final Word On The Olympus Trip 35
This is a great camera for travel and is certainly a camera to consider using. Personally, it’s not my kind of camera, I prefer more control and this just doesn’t cut it for me!
For a camera of its age, it truly is fantastic, a solar-powered vintage wonder that can still produce some beautiful shots!

Hey! I've been shooting film for a very long time and throughout all of my 20's it's been my main format. In 2019 I started to buy and sell film cameras and I became a top rated seller on Etsy and eBay. I've built up a wealth of knowledge about different kinds of film cameras and their common issues.
Since I started photography I've produced a number of zines/prints and more recently made a book called 'So Far So Good'.
I started this website in late 2021 with hopes of helping out people who had been looking for similar information to me and so far, I'm really enjoying it.

How To Use The Olympus Trip
April 28, 2023 By Cameras By Max
The Olympus Trip is a super popular camera among beginners to film, so here is our guide on how to use this awesome little camera, and some tips on how to get the most out of your Olympus Trip.
![olympus trip junior manual Olympus Trip 35mm film camera in wood covering in front of a plant](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0529/9840/6307/t/10/assets/olympus-trip-1-1682618185770.jpg?v=1682618187)
What is the Olympus Trip?
The Olympus Trip 35 was introduced in 1967, and discontinued in 1984, which is considered a long production run for a 35mm film camera. Over ten million Olympus Trip cameras were sold in this time.
Many people wrongly call the Olympus Trip a rangefinder camera, however we would classify it more as a point and shoot with zone focusing.
What features does the Olympus Trip have?
The Olympus Trip is really easy to use, and has some cool features that set it apart from other point and shoot 35mm film cameras.
- Zuiko coated 40mm f/2.8 lens : this lens is sharp, and the wide aperture makes it versatile in a lot of situations.
- Automatic settings : the Olympus Trip has two shutter speeds and aperture from f/2.8 to f/22.
- No batteries needed : the Olympus Trip is powered by the selenium meter around the lens. This is also what receives light and tells the camera which aperture is needed.
- Red flag feature : when the camera does not have enough light to take a photograph, a red flag appears in the viewfinder.
- Zone focusing : the Olympus Trip has four focus settings depending on how far away your subject is from the camera.
What are the different parts of the Olympus Trip?
The top plate.
The Olympus Trip top plate is very simple. The camera features are easy to find, making it an ideal camera for beginners. Below is a labelled diagram of the camera.
![olympus trip junior manual Olympus Trip 35 35mm film camera top plate nomenclature](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0529/9840/6307/t/10/assets/shot-counter-1682619677437.png?v=1682619682)
On the left of the top plate is the rewind knob (more on that later). In the middle is the flash hotshoe, used for mounting hotshoe flashes to the camera. The shutter button is the small black button on the top. On some models of Olympus Trip, this button can be silver. The small panel on the right is the shot counter that displays the number of shots you have taken.
The Olympus Trip lens holds most of the key settings for the camera , such as the ASA, focus, and aperture.
![olympus trip junior manual Olympus Trip 35 lens settings](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0529/9840/6307/t/10/assets/shot-counter-1-1682620126779.png?v=1682620131)
The ASA dial is set to match the roll of film that you put in the camera. For example, if you are using Portra 400, the ASA setting is set to 400.
The focus settings are simple, and known as zone focusing. There are four zones to choose from. We go through them in more depth later on in this article.
The aperture settings are only used if you are using flash. Otherwise, the camera is set to "A", which allows the camera to choose the aperture and shutter speed automatically.
The Bottom Plate
There is only one function on the bottom plate of the Olympus Trip 35: the rewind button. (And the tripod mount, technically.)
![olympus trip junior manual Rewind button on the bottom of the Olympus Trip 35mm film camera](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0529/9840/6307/t/10/assets/shot-counter-2-1682620671181.png?v=1682620677)
The rewind button is pressed when you are ready to start rewinding your film.
How To Load Film In The Olympus Trip
Loading film takes some practice, but it is really easy when you get to grips with it.
To load a roll of film in the Olympus Trip, first you have to open the back of the camera. To open the back of the camera, pull down this small silver tab, shown below.
![olympus trip junior manual How to open the back of the Olympus Trip camera](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0529/9840/6307/t/10/assets/olympus-trip-6-1682621010708_1000x.jpg?v=1682621014)
Once you have the back of the camera open, you can load your roll of film. To load the roll of film, pull the rewind knob up. The roll of film goes in with the top of the canister (the part that sticks out) at the bottom of the camera. See the image below.
![olympus trip junior manual How to load film in the Olympus Trip](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0529/9840/6307/t/10/assets/olympus-trip-9-1682621538430_1000x.jpg?v=1682621539)
When the canister is in, as shown above, you can pull the film leader across the camera to reach the other side.
![olympus trip junior manual Pull the film leader across the length of the camera](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0529/9840/6307/t/10/assets/olympus-trip-11-1682621725350.jpg?v=1682621726)
The rewind knob being put back down will lock the canister in place as you pull the film across. In order to lock the film onto the film spool in the camera, it has to go partly into one of the slots, and the notches at the bottom of the spool have to go through the sprockets on the film (the holes).
![olympus trip junior manual Sprockets on the Olympus Trip 35](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0529/9840/6307/t/10/assets/olympus-trip-12-1682621850114_1000x.jpg?v=1682621853)
In order to be able to advance the film across the camera, you have to fire the shutter . You can do this by pointing it at a bright light or by setting the aperture setting to one of the numbers.
I recommend firing the shutter, and advancing the film (with the advance thumb wheel) twice before closing the back, so that you can make sure the film is definitely loaded correctly. As you get more confident, you can fire the shutter less times and therefore get more photos on your roll of film.
How To Take Photos With The Olympus Trip
Now you have loaded your roll of film, and closed the back of the camera, you are ready to start taking photos!
The first thing to check is that your ASA is set to the same speed as your roll of film. For example, Portra 400 is ASA 400. Or Kodak Gold is ASA 200.
![olympus trip junior manual Close-up of the Olympus Trip 35mm film camera ASA dial](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0529/9840/6307/t/10/assets/olympus-trip-5-1682624205457.jpg?v=1682624208)
When looking through the viewfinder, you will be able to see your frame lines, and the focus setting that the camera is set to. The viewfinder of the Olympus Trip does not show you where the focus is set, just which symbol you have the lens set to.
![olympus trip junior manual View through the viewfinder of Olympus Trip 35mm film camera](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0529/9840/6307/t/10/assets/olympus-trip-24-1682624265562.jpg?v=1682624266)
When the lens is set to "A", the camera will choose the shutter speed and aperture for you manually. If the image you are trying to take is too dark, the red flag will come up.
You can override this by setting it to one of the numbers instead, but be aware that these are intended for a flash to be used with it. By setting the Olympus Trip to a number on the lens, it reduces the shutter speed to 1/30 - that's one thirtieth of a second. So you will need to have a steady hand when doing so.
How does the film counter on the Olympus Trip work?
When you first load your roll of film, it may look as though the film counter is not moving. It takes two or three shots for the shot counter to move to the number one.
The back of the camera needs to be closed in order for the shot counter to start working.
The counter shows the amount of images you have taken, not how many you have left.
![olympus trip junior manual Shutter counter on the Olympus Trip 35](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0529/9840/6307/t/10/assets/olympus-trip-17-1682700742853_1000x.jpg?v=1682700745)
How do I focus the Olympus Trip 35?
The Olympus Trip focus settings are simple, but take some getting used to. There are four settings on the camera. The symbols for these are found on the black part of the lens, as shown earlier in the article.
The symbols are as follows:
![olympus trip junior manual Symbols for the Olympus Trip 35 focus settings](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0529/9840/6307/t/10/assets/2asset-1-1682700879742.png?v=1682700880)
The Olympus Trip has four focus settings . The viewfinder view does not change as you change the focus settings, so you need to know which setting is correct for how far away your subject is. Luckily, this is not hard.
The first setting has the symbol of one person. The first setting is used for close-up photographs , where the subject is less than 1 metre away.
The second setting is of two people, which is to be used for subjects from 1.5 to 3 metres away.
The third setting is a symbol of three people. This setting is used for subjects that are between 3 and 6 metres away.
The final setting is a symbol of a mountain, which is used for anything beyond 6 metres away.
If you ever forget these numbers, they are engraved on the underside of the lens (opposite to the symbols on the top).
How does the Olympus Trip 35 red flag feature work?
The purpose of this Olympus Trip feature is to stop you from taking a photograph that is not exposed enough and therefore will not be visible when developed.
When there is not enough light in your image, the red flag will pop up in the viewfinder. You will clearly be able to see it if you are looking through the viewfinder. It also blocks the shutter button from being pressed.
![olympus trip junior manual Red flag feature inside the Olympus Trip viewfinder](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0529/9840/6307/t/10/assets/olympus-trip-19-1682701172336.jpg?v=1682701176)
Can I use the Olympus Trip at night?
Yes, you can.
The easiest way to do this is to attach a flash to the top of the camera.
Attaching a flash to the top of the camera is easy and most flashes can be used on the Olympus Trip. It has a standard flash hotshoe on the top of the camera.
Here is an example of a flash that can be used on the Olympus Trip:
When using a flash on the Olympus Trip, there are different settings to use. These are the aperture numbers on the silver barrel of the lens closest to the camera.
The aperture you use needs to be read off of the meter table, which is usually displayed on the back of the flash unit.
![olympus trip junior manual How to use a flash on the Olympus Trip 35](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0529/9840/6307/t/10/assets/olympus-trip-22-1682701340918_1000x.jpg?v=1682701342)

How To Rewind Your Film
Congratulations, you've finished your roll of film.
How can I tell if the roll of film is finished?
You will start to feel some resistance when trying to advance the camera. Do not force it, as you will snap part of the mechanism.
If you are using a 24 exposure roll of film, you will have reached the 24th shot. The shot counter should show the number 24, or near to that number. The same applies for a 36 exposure roll of film, as this will show the number 36. Sometimes you are lucky and get 37 or 38 shots out of a roll of film.
When the film will not advance any more, the film is finished.
![](http://mcmachinetools.online/777/templates/cheerup/res/banner1.gif)
How do I take the roll of film out?
On the bottom of the camera is your rewind button. Push this button in. It should stay in after you have pressed it once.
You can now use the rewind knob to rewind the film into the canister. Turn the knob clockwise.
![olympus trip junior manual Using the Olympus Trip 35 rewind knob to rewind film](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0529/9840/6307/t/10/assets/olympus-trip-21-1682701693101.jpg?v=1682701697)
Rewinding the film usually takes around thirty seconds of rewinding. You will feel when the film comes off of the spool at the end, because the rewind knob will have less resistance. Keep rewinding it until you feel certain that the film is back inside the canister.
You can now open the back and take the film out.
![olympus trip junior manual Back of the Olympus Trip 35mm film camera](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0529/9840/6307/t/10/assets/olympus-trip-16-1682701826907.jpg?v=1682701831)
That's just about everything you need to know about the Olympus Trip 35 35mm film camera! We really recommend this camera for beginners, so we hope you have a great time using it and create some lovely images.
I think my Olympus Trip is broken; what should I do?
A lot of Olympus Trip 35mm film cameras have never been serviced in their lifetime. Because they are holiday cameras, a lot of them have sand in the mechanisms.
We highly recommend getting your Olympus Trip serviced if it hasn't been used in a while.
Maintained, these cameras can last many years, however when they have been left for decades, they can develop a few issues, such as stuck aperture blades, stuck shutter, non-functioning light meter, etc.
All of our Olympus Trip services and repairs are very affordable, so definitely consider sending it to us before deciding that it doesn't work, or putting it back in a drawer.

Summary of Contents for Olympus Trip 35
- Page 1 Olympus Trip 35 Illustrated Repair Instructions Olympus introduced the Trip 35 in 1968. The camera remained in production for 20 years, and Olympus sold over 10 million of them. Both of these numbers must surely stand as records in the annals of camera history. The popularity of this camera was due to the convergence of two factors.
- Page 2 1. Remove the top of the camera. The top is held on with three screws. One is on the right side, just under the wrist strap lug. The other two are under the film rewind crank. To get to these two screws, it is necessary to remove the film rewind crank.
- Page 3 3. With normal daylight shining into the cell, the needle will deflect about half way to the right. If this happens, the selenium cell and meter are working fine. If the needle doesn’t move, the cell and the meter might still be working OK.
- Page 4 4. Push down the shutter release half way. The trap bar will rise up to trap the needle against the brass plate. The aperture setting cam rises right after the trap bar. If the meter is working, but the cam does not move, then the problem is with the aperture blades.
- Page 5 5. Once you have verified that the problem is not with the cell or the meter, it is time to remove, clean and lubricate the aperture blades. You can desolder the hot shoe wire to set the top aside and out of the way. This makes the camera easier to handle, but is not necessary as long as you are careful.
- Page 6 6. The front, inner ring is connected to the front lens element by three set screws, so the front lens element turns as the front ring rotates. The front lens element is mounted on threads, so it moves in and out as it turns. A tang on the front ring engages the focus ring, so that the front ring and the focus ring move as a unit.
- Page 7 7. Note the position of the front lens element. Use a red marker to mark the 12:00 position. Then just to make double sure, screw the lens in the whole way and note how far it turned. In the picture below the lens turned to about the 2:30 position.
- Page 8 8. Unscrew the front lens. Clean both sides thoroughly. Put it in a plastic bag to protect it, then put it in the next cup of your ice cube tray.
- Page 9 9. Now loosen the wires that run to the photocell. These wires run behind the tripod mount, and must be loosened before the photocell can be removed.
- Page 10 10. Remove the screws that hold the photocell in place. Put them into the next cup of the ice cube tray.
- Page 11 11. Gently lift up the photocell. Grasp the wires and gently pull them thru the camera body.
- Page 12 12. Remove the three flat head screws that hold the ASA ring and focus ring in place. Be careful not to lose the ball bearing detent on the ASA ring à it’s only about 1mm in diameter. It may be held in place by grease. Put the screws (and the ball detent if it’s loose) into the next cup of the ice cube tray.
- Page 13 13. Remove the aperture ring. Be careful, this has a ball detent, too. You know what to do with the screws and the ball.
- Page 14 14. This will reveal the middle lens element. Remove it, clean it, put it in a sandwich bag, then put it into the next cup of the ice cube tray.
- Page 15 15. You’re almost there. The aperture assembly is next. Remove the three screws that hold it in place. Clean it thoroughly in the lighter fluid. You may have to soak it several times. Work the blades back and forth. Make sure all of the old lubricant is removed.
- Page 16 16. While the aperture assembly is soaking, remove the rear lens assembly and clean it.
- Page 17 17. The shutter assembly is next, but it is unlikely there is a problem with it. So you’re finished! Just retrace your steps to reassemble everything, working your way backwards thru the cups in the ice cube tray. A little graphite between the aperture ring and the focus ring will make these move smoothly.
