The Yashica ME 1 is a small, compact 35mm viewfinder camera with auto-exposure, made in Brazil by Yashica, introduced c.1977. Black.

The focus zone settings are visible in the viewfinder through a small square window, below the finder window. Behind the focus ring is an aperture ring - with an "A" setting for automatic and stops from f2.8-16 for flash. Film advance is by a thumb-wheel on the lower left of the back.

The film speed is set using a ring around the lens, with a display just below. The CdS photocell is just above the lens, inside the filter thread - allowing the auto-exposure to compensate for filters.

The top plate carries the shutter release, hot shoe and frame counter. There is a lever for the self-timer on the front.
