Chronology of cameras Petri

This camera appears to have only one shutter speed of about 1/30 - 1/60 s. This would allow it to synchronise with flash bulbs without having a separate 'M' switch. The minimum aperture of F22 would allow the use of 200 ASA film in bright sunlight. The plastic button (to the right of the lens) allows the lens to be focused in three zones for portraits, groups and landscapes. A symbol for each setting is displayed in the centre of the viewfinder.
