The '''Olympus 35EC''' is a electronic controlled [[35mm]] [[compact camera]] introduced in 1969. <ref name="olympus-global-ee">[http://www.olympus-global.com/en/corc/history/camera/ee.cfm Olympus-global timeline]</ref>. It features a fixed Zuiko 42mm f/2.8 lens comprised of 5 elements in 4 groups. The electronic shutter is made by Seiko and is automatically controlled and cocked. It has a range of 4 to 1/800 sec. A shutter lock feature is on the face of the camera to prevent unwanted exposures or meter readings. There is a accessory shoe, on the top plate as well as a tripod socket on the base. Flash is possible with 1/20 of a sec. [[flash sync]] and connects via a PC terminal on the left hand side of the camera. The exposure meter is based on a [[CdS]] cell. The film speed can be set on the top plate of the camera, for 25 to 800 ASA. Focusing is done on the lens collar. It uses a [[zone focus]] system with a range of 1m to inf. There are focus stops for 1m, 1.5m, 3m and inf. They are also represented in the viewfinder by iconography of a persons face, portrait, group and mountains. The film transport has a auto resetting counter, uses a manual thumb wheel for advancing the film, and a rewind crank is on the base of the camera. The exposure system and shutter is powered by 2 mercury batteries.
