This is a point n' shoot superzoom 35mm film camera with quite a high specification; the top model of Konica's Z-up range. The lens - shown fully extended on the right - ranges from 38mm to 150mm using the T/W lever exactly where your thumb would expect. The body has a nice champagne and matt black finish, but it's obviously plastic.

  • Lens has maximum aperture of F/5 at 38mm f/13.8 at 150mm. Sharpness should be good with 10 glass elements in 8 groups.
  • Lens cover is built-in and retracts on power up.
  • Shutter speeds: automatic from 1/320s to 1.5s.
  • Auto-exposure via CdS meter. Exposure range is EV4-EV16 at f/5.
  • Autofocus via infra red scanning. Focus-lock by the common half-click method.

  • Small "real image" viewfinder that automatically zooms. Dioptre adjustment also present.
