🔧 Technical details
The 35–62mm zoom lens covers a fairly standard range for everyday use, from moderate wide-angle to portrait. The infrared autofocus is fast and reliable. In "snap" mode, the camera automatically adjusts to keep everything sharp between 1.5m and 5m , useful for spontaneous shots or those taken by someone else.
The built-in flash adapts to ambient light, but can be disabled or manually forced. It also has a night portrait mode with red-eye reduction , and a recharge time of approximately 7 seconds.
Film management is fully motorized : loading, advancement, and rewinding are automatic, with the possibility of rewinding before the end of the film.
A small LCD screen displays essential information (frame counter, battery level, selected mode).
