Step-less speeds from 8 to 1/1000 sec. on automatic; 14 conventional speeds from 8 to 1/1000th, sec. on manual, + "B". Both automatic and manual speeds electronically controlled. Two stage electromagnetic shutter release (first activates the meter) with safety lock and separate provision for cable release. Electronically controlled self-timer at 5 or 10 seconds with front-of-camera flashing red LED indicator. Two seconds before exposure, flashing frequency of red LED increases.

OverviewThree Selectronic SLRs featuring the K mount were introduced in 1980. Their Agfa-branded lenses, as well as the cameras themselves, were in fact manufactured by Chinon. The main differences between these cameras and their Chinon originals were the Agfa-typical Sensor shutter release button and a more modern design. The Selectronic 3 was the top of the range, and its specification is similar, but not identical to its Chinon relative; the CE-4.
