This camera offers fully automatic exposure camera (you can use the film speed dial for backlight compensation though) and zone\/scale focusing. It features a sharp \u003cspan\u003e42mm f2.8 E.

We also tried with 675 zinc air cells and they worked very well except the indicator lights only illuminate briefly and extra long exposures (1-4 seconds) aren't possible due to the lower current. PX640 alkaline batteries reportedly work very well too (but we haven't tried them).\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eWe will include the CR1\/3N which we used to film test this camera (it still tests as strong). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe included Nicca flash requires two AA batteries (not included). \u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCondition notes\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003eThe camera was tested with film and delivered sharp, well-exposed images.
