Furnishing
The camera is very small, protected against splash water and equipped with autofocus , automatic exposure with spot metering , built-in flash, self-timer, motorized film transport and a powerful lens of the Zuiko 35 / 2.8 type. The closest focusing distance of the lens is approx. 30 cm. The lens protector in the form of a slide also works as a switch for the camera. In addition to the lens, the sensors for exposure metering and autofocus as well as the viewfinder are covered by the slider. The viewfinder is located directly above the lens to avoid parallax or to keep it as low as possible. Due to this arrangement, the beam path of the viewfinder has to be guided upwards and backwards over the film stage by a mirror system. A CR123A battery is used as the power supply. The camera records 35mm films with sensitivities from DIN / ASA 18/50 to 36/3200 and exposes with shutter speeds from 4s to 1 / 1000s.
