(The A2 did not have a built-in flash, for example). Two major technological advances were introduced with this model: 5-point selectable autofocus, and eye-controlled focusing. During the long product cycle of this camera, a QD (Quartzdate) model was also available. The shutter is a focal-plane electronic shutter with speeds of 30 sec. to 1/8000 sec. B mode and X-sync at 1/60 to 1/200 sec. It is powered by 1x 6 V 2CR5 lithium battery.
