The Myport Zoom mini is an autofocus point-and-shoot camera for 35mm film, introduced by Ricoh in 1992 as the world's smallest[1] 35mm compact camera with a zoom lens. When it was introduced into the market, this camera was distinctly smaller than the most compact point-and-shoot cameras with a zoom lens of the day, it was even smaller than the majority of compacts with a fixed focal-length lens. The Myport Zoom mini was hailed as the first ever true shirt-pocketable zoom when it was introduced.
Apart from its remarkable body size, this camera has some very unique features for a compact camera, such as Continuous shooting mode, Super-night mode and TV mode. It is also compatible with various electrical devices through its remote control socket.
This camera is also known as the Shotmaster Ultra Zoom or the FF-10 Zoom. The Myport Zoom mini P[2] is a variant model with the addition of Switchable panorama function. The Myport Zoom mini PS, FF-10S Zoom and Shotmaster Ultra Zoom II are the updated models with the addition of Red-eye reduction mode. The camera was also sold by Boots as the Mini Zoom.
Myport Zoom mini series cameras were made in Japan and Taiwan.

Notes
- ↑ List of All Ricoh Cameras on Ricoh official website (in Japanese)
- ↑ There are two versions of Myport Zoom mini P. Those manufactured in the later period of its production had the red-eye reduction mode, while those manufactured in the earlier period did not. They are distinguishable by the presence of the second small circular window beneath the flash.
