The Pentax Espio 80 is a full automatic multi-af camera for 35mm film.

The user only has control over the flash modes, which includes a red-eye reduction mode. Zooming is controlled by a knob that can be operated by the thumb of the photographer. Everything else like aperture, shutter, filmtransport and rewind are automated.

The viewfinder's diopter is adjustable and there is a small P (panorama) button at the back. This cuts of upper and lower section of the frame to create a panorama view, the effect can be seen through the viewfinder.
