The shutter speed range is from 1/5 to 1/400 with a bulb mode at 10 min to 1/2 sec. The self-timer has a delay of 10 seconds, a two shot self timer mode is also available.

Film is automatically loaded, advanced and rewound. Mid-roll rewind can be done. It is compatible with DX encoded films from 25 to 3200 ISO. Non-coded films are set at 25 ISO. It is powered by two CR123A battery.

Date models are also available. It is capable of imprinting in various formats such as Year/Month/Day, Day/Hour/Minute, Month/Day/Year, and Day/Month/Year. Recording of year are up to 2019.
