The
Vivitar R-600
is a very basic compact camera. I
got it for next to nothing in a thrift shop, so I tested it
nevertheless. There is very little information about this camera. It
seems to be from the 1990s and it has at least different shutter speeds
and apertures. Its main features are:
35mm F4.5 lens, min. focus ?m Camera flash indication next to the viewerfinder window Shutter speed: ? Size 136x72x48, Weight 260 gr. batteries included Limited DX code for ISO 100 - 400 (only 2 contacts), auto wind, AE, AF, self-timer
Front closed.
Back
view. Camera flash lamp and motor wind indicator. Viewer. Film type window.
Seen
from above. Just a shutter button and a mecanical film counter.
Seen from below. Battery compartment (takes 2 AA batteries). Rewind, not automatic. Tripod socket.
Camera
open.
If you trigger the self-timer and then press the shutter, a lamp lights. After a delay the camera fires.
Film compartment open.
This
camera is incredibly basic. You slide it open and push the shutter,
that's all. There are no features except a self-timer. All the rest is
automatic. There are no slow shutter speeds for night photos. No
automatic re-spooling, but auto wind
between the photos. Point and shoot as
basic
as possible.
