The Yashica 107 MP also known as Yashica 107 Multi Program is a 35mm SLR camera manufactured by Kyocera.
It uses the Contax/Yashica mount or C/Y mount. There are five program modes. Program auto, HP: hi-speed program auto, LP: low-speed program, manual exposure and X: manual flash exposure. The shutter release is electronic but includes a standard release socket by the film rewind knob. After all exposures on the roll are exhausted, the camera will stop, to rewind press the button located on the base and slide it outward.
Focusing is done manually, and aided with a horizontal split image spot including a microprism. The viewfinder provide 0.82x magnification, providing a nearly 92% field of view. There are LED confirmations in the finder, flash, P, and M. The flash lights up when fully charged, and in program mode blinks when shutter is slower than 1/30 a sec. The P lights in program modes, and blinks if settings need to be adjusted. The M lights up in manual mode. A handy backlight compensation button is also provided near the lens mount. It adds 1.5 EV to the exposure.
