Gustavo,
To open the back of the Olympus Pen FT camera, raise the
rewind crank and pull the rewind spool winder straight up,
just as if you were going to unload/reload film.
To open the front, first depress the lens lock button
located under the the "U" of OLYMPUS logo on the front
of the camera. Hold it down and depress the opposite
lens lock button located under the self-timer arm. Now
rotate the lens clockwise as you are facing the front
of the camera. Twist the lens until the red dot between
the two lens lock buttons rotates to directly below the
self-timer lever. The lens should now be free and will
come off the camera.
You should now be able to see the mirror.
Hope this helps,
