> While watching her, he realised the pictures would be out of focus because of the settings. He then decided to design a camera that won't let you make a mistake. This camera is the Olympus Pen ee series.

I’m a bit surprised that the author doesn’t explain how the camera prevents out of focus photos (but mentions the auto exposure feature instead).

It's fixed focus, it's also a "half-frame" camera (~APS-C-ish, except it's portrait because the film still runs horizontally of course), meaning half the image size compared to full-frame, so more depth of field with the same parameters. It also has a slow lens - about equivalent to a 40mm, f5.6 full-frame lens.

Looks like the camera has fixed focus. So the distance from the subject is fixed.

Ah, the good old "the plebs sometimes make mistakes so we take away their choices. For their own good!" Fun to see it somewhere else than computers.
