om-4t, 101200 specifications

The Olympus 101200, also known as the OM-4T, is a remarkable camera that showcases the innovative spirit of Olympus in the world of photography. Launched in the late 1980s, this camera continues to attract enthusiasts and professionals alike due to its advanced features and robust performance.

One of the standout aspects of the OM-4T is its exceptional metering system. It features an intelligent multi-pattern metering mode, which allows for accurate exposure readings, even in challenging lighting conditions. The camera utilizes a TTL (Through The Lens) system that ensures exposures are both precise and consistent, making it an ideal choice for photographers seeking to capture high-quality images in various environments.

The OM-4T also boasts a unique spot metering function, allowing photographers to take readings from a small area of the scene. This characteristic is particularly useful for situations with backlighting or high contrast, where highlighted subjects might be lost if relying solely on average metering. The spot metering can provide nuanced control over exposure and help achieve the desired artistic effect.

In terms of build quality, the OM-4T is designed with durability in mind. Made from a metal alloy, it is not only sturdy but also relatively lightweight, making it a practical option for handheld shooting. The weather-sealed construction offers an additional layer of protection against the elements, empowering photographers to work in various situations without fear of damage.

Furthermore, the OM-4T features an electronic shutter with a wide range of speeds, from 1 second to 1/4000 of a second. This versatility allows photographers to freeze motion or create beautiful long exposure shots effortlessly. The camera's capabilities are further enhanced with a range of compatible OM lenses, offering flexibility for various creative styles.

Another notable feature is the self-timer and the ability to use a remote control. This function is invaluable for achieving perfectly composed self-portraits or long exposure shots without camera shake.

In conclusion, the Olympus 101200 OM-4T remains a beloved choice among film camera enthusiasts due to its advanced metering, rugged design, and versatility in capturing stunning images. Its combination of features and technology encapsulates the excellence that Olympus is known for, ensuring that it stands the test of time in the ever-evolving world of photography.
