This is an automatic, point-and-shoot, fixed lens, 35mm recreational camera from the early 1960s.

Camera Specifications

You can present the camera specifications either in the text or in a list. There is also a Camera Template but it is likely to suffer modifications in the future.

Some specifications are mandatory:

  • manufacturer
  • image support, with number of pixels or film format
  • architecture (Single Lens Reflex, Twin Lens Reflex, Viewfinder, Rangefinder, etc.)
  • lens (name, focal length and aperture) or lens mount
  • shutter type and shutter speed range

Other specifications are important too:

  • dates of production
  • alternative names
  • exposure metering system and exposure modes
  • ASA/ISO range
  • focusing distance
  • flash connection and built-in flash
  • battery
  • weight

And you can add any other specifications you feel useful, depending on the camera type:

  • digital processor and sensor name
  • number of lens elements
  • shutter name
  • ...

Pictures

It is good if you can add pictures of the camera. See the page about Adding Images for the rules and guidelines.

Description

You can add a description of the camera. It is particularly useful when there is no picture.

Handling notes

You can add notes about the camera's use, mention issues and give some tips. But keep in mind that other camerapedians could disagree with your particular opinion about a camera. If you want to write your personal feelings, you can create a page in your own user namespace with a review of the camera, for ex. User:John_Doe/Nikon F.
