The Fuji DL-200, released in 1986, was claimed in a 1986 advertisement to be the world's first drop-in loading autofocus compact camera.[1] DL stands for "drop-in loading". There is a prewinding safety system: upon loading, film is wound to what on most cameras would be the last frame, which here is exposed first.
The lens is a 32mm f/2.8, focussing from 60cm to infinity. Autofocus works even at night. There was a teleconverter attachment available.
Exposure is automatic, using a TTL system, working from EV8.5-18 with ISO 100 film, the film speed (50-1600 ISO) being set automatically by DX Coding. The Guide-Number 10 flash is automatic, set by the TTL exposure metering, but with a "fill-in flash" button on the back.
The camera weighs 280g.
Power comes from some "built-in" batteries; the manual claims you need to send the camera back to a Fuji agent to have them replaced[2], and that the batteries will last "1000 frames if 50% ... with flash", "5 years if 8 24-exposure films are used per year".
