The Fujica DL-100 is an early 80s compact autofocus camera. Like its mates, such as the Canon AF35M, it features a 38 mm f/2,8 lens, motor advance, a pop-up flash, and runs on common AA batteries. It is one of Fuji's earliest models to emply the drop-in loading (DL) system for easy loading of film – the back door only opens far enough to drop in a 35 mm film cassette, which is wound on automatically. Interestingly, the back door has a built-in film cutter to cut off the leader if it protrudes from the body when the door is closed. A switch locks the shutter release to prevent tripping it accidentaly. The viewfinder indicates focusing zone using three icons: A head, two people and a mountain. Unlike Canon's competing model, the focus zone is indicated during pre-focus, and not when it's too late. A light in the finder warns if the shutter speed is low. Since the camera predates the DX system, instead it uses Fuji's older film speed identification system.
