Point and shoot compact camera for 35mm film with integral flash and fixed focus, manufactured in Taiwan for Ricoh in 1987. Although the manual describes the camera as "Exposure Adjustment: With CdS Photocell", the aperture is manually adjusted by moving the ISO setting. This suggests there is no real exposure control with aperture only adjusting for film speed like other cameras of its class like the Olympus Supertrip. The camera is the first model in a long running series of YF-20 series of simple cameras.
