In 1959 the Braun Paxette electromatic was advertised as the world's first fully automatic 35mm camera. Its selenium meter controlled the aperture and gave a red/green light sufficiency signal in the viewfinder. But other automatic functions were missing. Instead the focusing of the Ennagon 1:5.6/40mm lens was fixed, and it had only the single shutter speed 1/40 sec. Film speed had to be selected manually to obtain proper enlightment by the aperture system.
The later version Electromatic III had a better lens and shutter combination, with a good set of selectable speed and aperture settings and coupled meter visible through the finder. The Electromatic IA had interchangable lenses.
