These cameras are also found under the brand "National." It is indeed the same brand but with a different name depending on the market. __________
The Panasonic C-310EF is the simplest of the "C-" series. It features fixed focus, non-motorized film transport, and non-automatic flash. Sensitivity selection is done with a two-position slider located under the lens. The flash appears tiny, but a button allows it to be extracted laterally.

About Panasonic and Matsushita
Panasonic, originally founded in 1918 by Konosuke Matsushita, is a diversified conglomerate that encompasses a wide range of businesses. Today, it comprises 680 companies involved in electrical equipment, including battery production, household appliances, and electronics such as radios, TVs, video cameras, and DVD players. Its success initially began with the introduction of an innovative double socket and other simple electrical equipment by its founder.
It appears that optical and purely photographic equipment was never a primary focus of the Matsushita Group, as their strength primarily lay in electronics. Alongside numerous other brands, including National, Technics, JVC, and Panasonic, the latter brand now serves as the name of the holding company. This well-known label, particularly in the United States, allowed them to enter the photographic product market. In the late 1980s and early 1990s, they introduced some consumer-level film cameras alongside more sophisticated video cameras.
Today, the group produces Lumix digital cameras (APNs), which are highly regarded in their class.
