Chronology of cameras Agfa
The Agfa Live AF incorporates an iconic feature of the brand, as the shutter release button is a large red circle, a hallmark of the Sensor shutter release. It is a fully automatic, autofocus camera, with the ability to capture panoramic photos by masking the top and bottom of the negative, and some models also come equipped with a date back.
The Sensor shutter release button consists of a 16 mm diameter orange-colored disc, set within a 0.7 mm high chrome-plated brass collar designed to guide the finger to the center. Below the disc is the button itself, with a very short travel (less than 0.5 mm). A pressure of 300 grams on the plastic disc is sufficient to trigger the shutter. The motion blur caused by the release is thus extremely limited. Agfa will gradually equip all new models with this trigger and make it their number one advertising feature.
The patent corresponding to this shutter release button was filed in Germany in 1968 (published in 1970) under the number DE 1622174, and then in the United States in 1972 (published in 1976) under the number US 3,950,773. The title of this patent is "Operating Means for Photographic Cameras."
