This
camera is easy to use.
Autofocus is responsive and works well. Putting a film is easy as well,
the back opens only a little bit, tear the film leader a bit further, drop the film and that's it. The
camera prespools the whole film and then winds it back into the
cartridge step by step. As with most point and shoot ultra compacts, auto
flash is set at start.
It's
a good point and shoot camera
with a moderate and luminous wide angle lens. Just point and shoot at its best.
