The Canon Top Twin, known as Sure Shot Tele in America and Autoboy Tele in Japan, is an enthusiast's autofocus compact camera from 1986. A switch on the back selects between the two focal lengths: a 40 mm moderate wide angle and a 70 mm telephoto lens, upon which the lens extends à far bit outward. A switch on the side of the lens barrel opens the lens barrier and also serves to turn on à soft filter for portraits. Furthermore, it has a backlight compensation mode and a button for multiple exposures. Another stand-out feature is the support for half frame format, activated by a switch inside the film chamber (it is therefore impossible to switch between formats mid-roll).
