- Today we are going to review one of our favourite budget 35mm analog point and shoot cameras: the Olympus AF-1 / Infinity. When it was released in 1984 it was the first fully automatic waterproof camera. In this video we will be talking about the positives and negatives. Also we will show our favorite photos that we took with this camera.

![Le COMPACT ARGENTIQUE IDÉAL (ou presque...) [Olympus AF-1 REVIEW]](http://i.ytimg.com/vi/TU4udFB4TZo/mqdefault.jpg)
Major OOPS! It's "weatherproof", NOT "waterproof"! In fact, it was the very first "weatherproof" camera ever! (I warned my bosses at Olympus that the term would be easily misunderstood, but did they listen?? Naw!) That means (when new) that you could splash it with water, but NOT immerse it! (But given it's age, I would be cautious -- the seals may have become compromised over the decades.)
Second, the front barrier sometimes wears out, so that the detent ball that makes it "click" open and closed pops out. The camera may still work, however, if you hold the cover open.
Another somewhat frequent problem seen over the years is that the shutter blades sometimes jump over each other so that the can't fully close. They still operate, though, so you won't know there's a problem unless you look closely through the lens, or get a roll of film processed. If the images look like the have circular swirls on them, that's your problem. I've always wanted to use one with this fault deliberately to create interesting images, but the intensity of the effect depends on how much ambient light the lens is subjected to before taking an image, and how long the barrier is left open.
Another word of warning -- never use a sharp pencil to activate the manual film rewind button -- it's easily pierced, and the pencil led may short circuit the electrical contacts underneath.
Last thing -- when loading film, put the leader up to the red stripe ONLY, then close the back cover. DON'T push the leader deeper into the take-up chamber than the stripe.
Thank you for your support and insights👍
Love the video. Just got my AF-1 and am excited to see the results I'm on my 3 roll now.
thank you for this video! i just got this camera today and i'm excited to go shoot with it :)))
My favourite ever day carry with colour negative film.
The lens is super sharp and anyone can use it. It's always in my daybag
This is very useful to me and please keep on doing it!
Thank you! We will keep on pushing ;D #pushingfilm
This camera was outshined by modern Olympus Stylus Epic but it’s definitely a slept on gem. Good video & realistic review!
That´s true👍 Thanks🙌
Hey! Was wondering should I press the focus lock button every single time? Or how does it works? Thanks
Nice Vid! Quick question, could you do a video on a super version of this camera and a tutorial on how to use it?
lovely video ^^
Thanks for the support:D
what are the key differences with olympus AF-1 compared to Olympus MJU 1 do you know?
hi, how does this compare to the cult famous stylus epic?
Should have brought this earlier. Prices are insane right now
I just bought the cheapest one I could find and it was still almost 90 dollars 😬 but I do love it
@@satchelpatberg8924 I know, i want to buy one in good near mint and its close to 160...
My mom bought it new when before I was born in 1987-88. I recently found it again. she paid 120 gulden for it back then
i have just invested in this camera. What film do i use? Good video btw. subscribed
Thanks :D We used Kodak Gold 200 and we can definetly recommend it but you can also shoot Ilford HP5+ or other Films with Dx-code
Is it true that the flash cant be turned off?
nice video, i love the af1 works great with tmax400...can you please tell me which film did you use to take those beautiful photos?
Thanks a lot. Bw is alwas a amazing choice with P&S. But we actually used Kodak Gold 200 :D We were also suprised by the results ;D
Global Shutter Productions wow!Cheap and gorgeous
@@vasilakiz exactly :D
1986* but really good video!
I haven’t looked yet, but can you review the infinity jr?
Just to point it out, the Olympus Mju series is pronounced as M'YOU , not me-joo ;) Good content nonetheless! Keep it up!
Thanks for the input and support:D
As “MEW”
What battery is that??
CLIMBING! woah LIKE ;)
great review - I'll be picking one up thanks to you. Thank you :)
Thanks Dude! Have fun :D
This or the Canon af35m?
You just compared a f/2.8 lens to an f/11 throw away lens?
could you simply cover up the flash?
oder man hält den Blitz einfach mit den Finger zu wenn man Fotografiert 🤔
Can i put my finger over the flash lol?? since i can’t turn it off
Tape is our friend, that's what I do
What battery does this camera take ?
It takes one CR-P2 Lithium Battery:D
You can use black Electric Tape over the flash, and the resolution centre on eBay for a refund for the broken Super you purchased.
Don’t mention it, 🙏.
After these videos came out the price for this camera went up to around 150-240 lol
We had this one when I was young and we still had. In fact the only reason I searched this again is because I found it in the attic.
Great review until you said, "Ebo people that scam you"... just pointing out it's not funny but offence.
Was he talking about Igbo or eBay?
He said "You know those evil people that scam you"
