Olympus Digital Camera Flash Units
If I am using 800-speed film in an Olympus Trip 35, where should I set the ASA level (limit between 200 & 25)?
A few years back I purchased an Olympus Trip 35 with a Sunpak flash unit for a couple of bucks at a yard sale. I’m into digital photography but I’ve been meaning to take the Trip out for some shooting since I bought it. I picked up some Fuji Superia 800 today but I’m not sure how I should compensate for it’s speed via the cameras manual ASA settings. In short; I just don’t know much about film.
Also, I’m planning on taking this (along with my digital) to a formal this weekend for some pics… we’ll be outside for a good bit of the time and then inside a large (presumably overcast/dark) room later in the evening. Any tips as far as changing the settings on this little camera between light and dark environments? Should I bring a tripod along?
Thanks for any and all helpful suggestions. 
From a quick search, it looks like the Trip 35 should go up to ISO 400. When you shoot just ‘underexpose’ it by one stop. You should be able to do this by narrowing the aperture 1 stop from the camera’s suggested meter reading.
If your using flash then it seems like your stuck with manually setting/calculating it. Since your bringing a digital camera, attach the flash to it and establish the correct output and then just use those settings on the trip. Since it appears to automatically set one of two shutter speeds at all times, it’s likely to use 1/40th of a second. Keep that in mind when your testing proper flash exposure with your digicam.
Good luck. Your using negative film so you should have a large margin of error with your exposures.
Pentax K-m announced
Today, more and more people are turning to digital SLR, sometimes without even being passed through the boxcompact or bridge. Each brand must adapt to this trend by offering reflex “simple” and not too expensive, to agree to a home user.
It is in this segment that is the new Pentax Km, a unit dedicated to first-time SLR users. And with this model, Pentax will take it to the play of light initiated by Olympus? One might think the manufacturer to see clearly its position on this feature Km, to the point of having reviewed the construction of two optics available in kit to make it more lenient. The most compact cabinet has then been obtained through a reduction in size of the stabilizer, a change of place of the battery compartment and a redesigned grip. The location of orders was revised in the aftermath, and each now has a help function that displays instructions to guide the novice.
122.5 mm x 91.5 mm x 67.5 mm for 525 grams
To facilitate the shooting, the Km buys mode “Auto Picture” familiar to users of the brand compact and designed to analyze the scene and automatically switch the device in the most appropriate (macro, landscape, portrait, landscape and night …). Another device: the mode “ISO auto” in which the camera automatically adjusts sensitivity between 100 and 3 200 Iso according to the focal used and the brightness of the subject, and so have a speed shutter high enough to allow the shooting of hands. The Miles can also count on the stabilizer implanted in series in the reflex of the mark and is now able to earn up to 4 shutter speeds. This device comes with a second for his part intended to prevent the deposition of dust through a system consisting of an antistatic coating, with a vibration sensor actioned in which each switching off and a tape that prevents them. It notes that, despite the emphasis on simplicity of use, the reflex is able to save files Raw (ie free processing software) and to deal directly from the device.
That is what is the strengths of the unit. What compromises have been made to enable positioning to less than 500 euros? Nothing any more money than it is accustomed to seeing in this range of equipment, namely a viewfinder type pentamiroir instead of a pentaprism, a 5-point autofocus and fast image acquisition in the order of 3.5 frames per second, or nothing for penalizing the shooting every day. Perhaps inevitably in the eyes of some device increasingly aware of Live View (referred through the rear screen) and video mode whose reflex taking up smoothly.
Its basic specifications:
* Sensor: CCD 23.5 x 15.7 mm 10.2 million pixels
* Conversion factor: 1.5 x
* Display: LCD 2.7 “230 000 pixels
* Viewfinder: coverage to 96%, magnification x 0.85

The Km will be available in late October at least 499 euros kit with a 18-55 mm and 599 euros in double kit with a 18-55 mm and a 50-200 mm. Who are its competitors? The Olympus E-420 kit offered from € 444.00, the Canon 1000D proposed kit from € 499.90, the Nikon D60 from 459.70 € and the Sony Alpha 300 from 508 , 90 €.
