It has a selenium meter which automatically selects shutter speed and aperture for the exposition to be correct. The meter is located around the lens and when the lens cap is on, it avoids firing. In the manual mode, the camera will fire always in 1/30s shutter speed, alloying the photographer to choose any aperture from f2.8 to f16. When bulb (B) is selected, on the other hand, the camera will be fixed in the f2.8 lens aperture. In automatic mode, the camera will choose the both aperture and shutter speed, from 1/30s to 1/650s and aperture from f2.8 to f14. It has a hotshoe.
