The YF-10 is a fixed-focus point-and-shoot camera introduced by Japanese manufacturer Ricoh in 1994. A version with a databack was also available, and it was sold as the YF-10 Date. It is an extremely simple camera; it has a totally fixed-focus lens, a fixed shutter speed, and the fixed exposure setting. It incorporates the DX-code system but it can only detect ISO 400 films, and all other films are rated as a ISO 100 film. The YF-10 was one of the simplest camera that Ricoh had ever released.
