Chronology of cameras Kinon 

The cell is only to advise the owner when to use the flash. There are two diodes beside the viewfinder 'No' (red) and 'OK' (green). A switch provides a choice of 100 or 400 ASA which suggests a date of manufacture before 1985. The red line decoration recalls some early Nikon compacts. The only other feature of interest is that Kinon has temporarily abandoned its distinctive graphics.

The brand was registered with a simple logo in 1983 in the USA by Farsharp Industrial Corporation, Taiwan. It was abandoned on April 17, 1986. It was re-registered by the same company on November 4, 1986, with the logo featuring the characteristic shutter-like dot over the "i" and the "o" in the center of which bears the image of an optical device. It was abandoned on March 9, 1990.

This brand was registered with the second logo in France in January 1988 by Ghislain Van Der Does. It covers photographic, cinematographic apparatus, and optical equipment, as well as devices for recording, transmitting, reproducing sound, images, or text and documents. The trademark has expired, presumably in 1990.
