Olympus OM20 Repair

Repairing the OM20 and understanding its mechanism is a skill that few have here, however there is still a minority of camera repair shops with competent engineers capable of understanding this Japanese mechanical and electronic integration.

If you lack the mechanical skills necessary to repair it, then there are always camera repair shops listed on Google that can repair your camera.

Even though the shutter is electronically controlled, this camera still has a mechanical shutter cocking gear, and just like the OM10, there is the first wind gear and the second wind gears present. There is also that familiar long lever for the mirror locking mechanism. All of these mechanical parts require lubrication for smooth friction free movement, and any kind of rust will be detrimental to the proper operation.
