can be easily selected with the dedicated top dial and the aperture set around the lens barrel or if you prefer it can be used as a shutter priority mode by selecting A (Automatic)\u00a0on the aperture ring.\u00a0 Ignoring the fact that I have recently acquired a quantity of terrible film that I am burning my way through the Olympus RC&#8217;s 5 element \u00a0lens is very good.\u00a0 I will be trying it again with better film very shortly.\u00a0\u00a0 The fact that is camera is smaller than many point and shoots that came later and yet has full manual control with settings indicated in the viewfinder make this a terrific little camera.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat:
