🔧 Technical details

The 38–80mm zoom lens allows you to go from a wide angle to a slight telephoto, useful for group shots, portraits, or distant scenes. It's not a very powerful zoom, but it's enough to cover most everyday situations.

The infrared autofocus allows for fairly reliable autofocus, even in low light. Focus lock is handy for reframing after focusing.

The built-in flash is self-acting, but you can also choose to turn it off or on as needed. Red-eye reduction is useful for indoor photography of people.

The film advancement is motorized: you insert the film, and the camera takes care of everything (loading, moving to the next frame, rewinding). All that's left is to frame and shoot.
