- Copal MXV shutter with M and X flash sync.
- Shutter speeds: B, 1, 1/2, 1/5, 1/150, 1/25, 1/50, 1/100, 1/250, 1/500s.
- 10-blade aperture diaphragm giving a nearly circular opening.
- Built-in non-coupled selenium meter read at the top of camera, indexed ASA 12-800 for high and low light levels and for readings with an accessory selenium booster cell.
