Olympus XA - Manual (Page 20)

HELPFUL HINTS
Dust Barrier
Opening the Dust Barrier fully switches the
power ON, and all camera functions are ready
to shoot. Closing the Dust Barrier switches
the power OFF, and all camera functions are
locked.
Foolproof electronic circuit
With the Dust Barrier closed and camera func-
tions locked, the foolproof electronic circuit
nonetheless allows the camera back to be
opened for film loading, unlocking all relat-
ed functions.
Electronic feather-touch shutter release
The release (pressure conductive polymer)
responds to very light pressure. Pressing with
a stroke as you normally do with other cam-
eras is not needed.
Treat the camera with care!
Do not exert stronger pressure on moving
parts than needed (Dust Barrier, levers,
knobs). When attaching a tripod, care should
be taken not to tighten the screw excessively
and not to rotate the camera on the screw.
Filters cannot be used with the XA.
