This unique camera incorporates a sliding sleeve that not only protects the shutter release, lens, and finder, but is used to advance the film as well. A CdS cell sets the aperture and shutter speed from 1/30 sec. at f/3.5 to 1/250 sec. at f/22; a green indicator in the bright-line finder shows when light levels are sufficient. The camera automatically senses film speeds from 50 to 400 ASA, and focusing the high-quality lens is by a feet/meter scale or symbols. The matching flash is powered by ni-cad batteries and will only fit this camera, nor will other units fit without an adapter. The flash range is 3.5 to 13 feet.
