Hi! I need a DSLR filmless camera with totally manual functions for aperture and shutter speed. Is this the proper camera? Manual with?

Absolutely! I bought this camera back 2010 for a photography class I was taking and it worked out great for both automatic and manual shots. The camera will come set to be a point and shoot, but some simple setting changes in the menus will have you in manual mode in no time.

This Olympus is the best DSLR camera that can give the best operation you ever desire either manually operated or auto, you will always have the very best result.

Hi Allison, I think this is a very good DSLR camera, and also the smallest. I love Olympus cameras since they have one of the best algorithms to process light into pixels, thus ensuring excellent picture quality.Regards,Andras Heimann

Yes it has a M on the mode selector knob for all manual. You can also select aperture priority and you set speed. It has has a shutter speed priority also you set aperture. Then program and full auto. So yes you can have it function full manual and manual focus to if you want.

Every DSLR has a setting on the mode wheel that is pretty standard, for manual operation. You will see A for when you want to choose the aperture and let the camera choose the shutter speed, S for when you want to choose the shutter speed and let the camera choose the aperture, and M for when you want to choose both. The 420 works the same way. They all do.

Just about any of todays DSLR cameras have a manual function that will do all of those things you asked, and more. One caution I would have about buying this camera is it takes the Olympus, or Fuji, xd card which is falling out of favor. However, it also takes the Compact flash card, and they are still available. I have since replaced mine with a Canon T3.

It's a mirrorless digital camera with an APS-C sized sensor. See Gregg's answer. If you like this type of camera, ck out their latest updated model. Mine is simply a beautiful piece of equipment. Outdoor shooting is outstanding. Indoor is OK. Flash is limited. I note that Fuji slashed the price just as the new model came out. Piece of advise/do you homework re: these latest "not point and shoot" but not "DSLR" either. Lenses are superb and color is up to the classic Fuji standard. Good luck.

I am not familiar with all Canon models, but this does sound like a Super 8 camera. As long as it is a Super 8 camera, this film will work. There was an issue a few years ago where new film stocks were not read properly in automatic exposure cameras, but this was for the color stocks only, and it was not an issue with manual aperture cameras. The black and white stocks were never an issue. They will always expose properly so long as your camera is in working order. The color negative stocks still have issues with higher ASA ratings than what simple cameras often have, but the newly released Vision 50D color negative film can be read properly in all cameras. Tri-X is good, and will work. Just remember this is a higher speed film. It can do well in low light, but needs a lot of it and the less you have, the more grain you will have. If you need anything further, please contact me!

Firstly this isn't a DSLR, it's a mirrorless system camera. This is a very good camera that takes exceptional pictures. As a first interchangeable lens camera? A lot depends on how much you're willing to learn how to use the camera. There are no 'scene' modes like many cameras have, you can't turn it to 'sport' or 'night' or 'fireworks' the controls while modern are also very reminiscent of old film cameras. Sure You can plunk this down into Auto mode and get some really nice pictures but if that's ALL you're going to do then buying an expensive camera with amazing manual control ability is a bit of overkill.If you're really interested in photography? Then yes, get this camera. Firstly this isn't a DSLR, it's a mirrorless system camera. This is a very good camera that takes exceptional pictures. As a first interchangeable lens camera?

Yes I bought mine brand new years ago. I did not expect it to be a very good camera as I paid a heck of a lot for it. But I did get to lens with it one close the other far. It is totally computerized but you can do your own shooting if you wish. Here is what I can say about the camera. You would think only 14.2 mp wouldn't give you a perfect picture? Well let me tell you the pictures it gives are way to perfect and I will say I'd like to see you shoot a bad picture! As you won't. I'd buy it and have the best fun you ever have experienced!

Camera does have a manual.if that's all you need. I can make a copy for you. But you can get it online.

works excellent! with aperture priority you change the f/ stop manually on your lens and exposure time/shutter speed will adjust automatically in your camera.Use manual focus assist to pull your focus on the lens.

No, I'm sorry! This camera is an SLR, not a DSLR, meaning that it is a film camera. Unfortunately, you have to manually load film into the camera, purchased separately, take the pictures and then used a darkroom to remove the roll of film, process the negatives with chemicals, dry them, shine light through them onto photo paper, and then process that paper in chemicals to make a print. It's quite a process, and I bought this camera for a Photography class in college. Now I'm in Photo IV, and I love this camera and the photo printing process, it's wonderful fun and a great hobby :)

You need yo review no the camera's manual. I bought this and works fine. :)

You can set the aperture to be as fast or pretty much as slow as you want it with this camera. No delay that I can tell, when you have a fast shutter speed set.

Hello Sr's. I have just bought this camera, been playing around with the settings for a coupple of days, its just GREAT. Its not the fastest camera out there, it DOES have a slight delay from PRESS to SHOT, dont know exacly how long, but its noticeable. However this camera, on auto mode, allows you to set an option ON to "fast capture" this will make the Shutter speed way faster... Intented for use to take a pic on a racing event or sports event. I think with this setting ON might be sufficient to capture that lil' angel smile just fine!

I didn't see anything on the page that had a all manual lens (although Nikon does still make one) every lens on the page is an AF lens with the capability of also being used as a manual lens if you turn off the AF feature. Hope that helps

Hello, the lens is manual, works manually only. Please put your camera into "no lens attached" mode and continue to shoot manually on in Aperture priority mode. Thank you.

Hi, I am a beginner with this camera. So far I have only used the "Auto" function as I use this camera primarily for taking pictures of merchandise under natural light. Sorry I could not be of more help. Linda P.S. the camera takes awesome pics for what I do :)

It's all extremely manual, this was purchased for a high school into photography class. I wouldn't suggest such a manual camera unless you yourself are taking a photography class.

Yes, it is manual. The price wouldnt let it be auto focus. So it is not easy to get a clear image easily. It takes some time and a little practice to focus correctly. Besides you need a good tripode so the camera don't move because the lense is quite heavy. Anyway, the results are ok. I use it with a Nikon D 90

Based upon my experience with this flash, it functions solely in a manual mode and you have to make all of the necessary adjustments for aperture, shutter, etc. It did not function as a TTL or E-TTL Flash on a DSLR.
