The CT-10 is an SLR introduced by Cosina circa 1980. Among Cosina's models offering aperture-priority autoexposure, this is the most stripped-down model. There are no manual shutter-speed settings available, besides "B" and the X-sync speed of 1/100th second; and the metering display is simply a few LED "stop lights" which do not indicate what shutter speed will be selected. The electronically-timed, vertically-traveling metal shutter ranges from 4 to 1/1000 seconds and requires power from two 1.5 silver-oxide batteries. There is no provision to attach a power winder, and no PC socket. The CT-10 also lacks the self-timer or backlight compensation button of the CT-20, a model which otherwise is quite similar.

The camera's hot shoe has an additional contact, which when attaching an appropriate dedicated flash (Cosina Auto-160 or Auto-220) can force the camera to its X-sync speed even when set to "auto"; also lighting an "F" in the viewfinder when the flash is fully charged.
