After a long sixteen-year absence from the 35mm camera market, Kodak returned in 1986 with a series of compacts, including the Kodak 35 EF .

Simple and Effective Use
The Kodak 35 EF is designed for simplicity. With a fixed-focus lens and constant shutter speed, there are no complicated settings to master. The camera is activated by sliding the lens cover , which unlocks the shutter release and prepares the camera to shoot. A slider adjusts the aperture to suit the film speed (ISO 100/200 or ISO 400/1000), ensuring optimum results depending on the type of film used.
Manual Flash and Brightness Indicator
When light conditions are insufficient, a red LED lights up in the viewfinder, indicating that you should activate the built-in flash via a slider on the bottom of the camera. Although the Kodak 35 EF can be operated without batteries, the 2 AAA batteries are required to trigger the flash and operate the low-light indicator.
