The '''Canon Prima Junior AF''' (or simply '''AF 32''' in America) is a budget compact autofocus camera released in 1995. The lens is a wide 32 mm with an aperture of f/5,6, which makes the inclusion of autofocus questionable considering the wide depth of field available with such a lens (in fact, the autofocus only works in two ranges). The case is of the popular and robust clamshell type, with the two front buttons for controlling flash modes typical for Canon's cheaper cameras in the 90s.

The Canon Prima Junior AF (or simply AF 32 in America) is a budget compact autofocus camera released in 1995. The lens is a wide 32 mm with an aperture of f/5,6, which makes the inclusion of autofocus questionable considering the wide depth of field available with such a lens (in fact, the autofocus only works in two ranges). The case is of the popular and robust clamshell type, with the two front buttons for controlling flash modes typical for Canon's cheaper cameras in the 90s. The same body was also used for the cheaper fixed-focus Prima Junior DX released in the same year.
