Beginner Help Needed Please: CDS Light Sensor

[Thomas Keidan]

Hi everyone, my new Olympus 35 RC recently arrived with a slightly too small lens cap. When I was trying to put it on I noticed It may have rubbed against the CDS light cell which is on the side of the camera lens. Do I have to be super fragile around the CDS cell or does it not matter if it get's scratched or anything like that? I'm a complete novice so I apologise if this is a stupid question.

When you say new, you mean like 40 years old?! Super little camera as I recall.

Don't worry about the CdS sensor. If you get a dollop of mud on it, that will skew exposure readings, but otherwise no problem.
