Autofocus is responsive and works well. Putting a film is easy as well, you drop the film, tear the film leader up to the mark and that's it. The
camera winds it automatically. It has few manual settings if needed, the menu is very easy to access on a LCD screen. Auto
flash setting at start, which is the case with most ultra compacts.

a basic point and shoot camera
with a good wide angle lens, good picture quality, in a very small
pocketable body. Point and shoot at its simplest while good quality end.
