Olympus 35DC

This camera went on sale in 1971. The letters in the name stand for "Deluxe Compact."
The programmable automatic exposure system made photography easy in any setting, whether the subject was dark or brightly lit. The Olympus 35DC featured the world's first automatic flashmatic system and backlight correction system that allowed programmable auto photography even with a strobe. It became popular as an easy-to-use camera that always produced excellent results.
