The Konica Auto S is a 35mm coupled rangefinder camera of fairly conventional design made by Konishiroku in 1963.
Like all Konishiroku's rangefinder cameras in the series starting with the Konica S, the framelines in the viewfinder adjust not only for parallax but also for field of view. It has a dual-range CdS meter rather than the selenium meter of its predecessor, the Konica SII. Another novelty was the built-in "pull-out" lens hood.
The Auto S would be succeeded by the Auto S2.
