Olympus AM-100 35mm Point-and-Shoot Film Camera

Grade & Condition:
By The 35mm Club
$199.95 AUD

Perfect for:

  • First-time 35mm film users

  • Fans of '80s vintage camera design

  • Those who want reliable, point‑and‑shoot simplicity

Introduced by Olympus in 1987 and nicknamed the “Picasso Petit” in Japan, the Olympus AM‑100 (also sold as the Infinity S) is a compact, fully automatic 35mm camera. Designed to offer great classic performance at an affordable price, it uses a clever 3‑point zone focus system to balance cost and function.

✔ Simple zone focusing – Choose from close‑up (0.5–1 m), medium (≈1.5 m to 4 m), or infinity via front‑mounted buttons. No autofocus headaches — just reliable sharpness across common shooting ranges.

✔ Bright 35mm ƒ/3.5 lens with automatic exposure – The fast Olympus-coated 35 mm lens (aperture range ƒ/3.5–22) captures crisp, contrast-rich images. Paired with programmed auto-exposure (shutter 1/45–1/400 s), the AM‑100 makes shooting a delight!

✔ Auto-wind, built-in flash & self-timer – Film loading, advance, and rewind are automatic. Built-in flash recycles in ~2 s and self-timer adds creative flexibility. DX-coded ISO 25–1600 support makes film swaps seamless.

✔ Durable retro design with charm – Styled in early '80s compact form, the AM‑100’s sturdy plastic body, and its Japanese moniker “Picasso Petit” gives it a unique vintage camera allure that stands out in any collection.

Whether you're stepping into film with confidence or seeking an everyday 35mm camera with character, the Olympus AM‑100 blends ease, charm, and classic image quality into one delightful package.

Battery Requirement – This reusable film camera operates with 1x CR123A 3V battery (sold separately) or 2x 1.5v AAA Batteries.
