How to use · This is a manual-focus rangefinder camera. After loading the film, open the lens cover to take photos. The lens has distance markings, making it easy to shoot by estimation. It supports aperture-priority AE, and exposure can be adjusted with the aperture ring. Film advance and rewind are manual.

Watchouts · As it is small and slippery, using a strap is recommended. The rubber grip on the front may peel off. Only the dedicated A14 flash can be used. The lens has no filter thread. There is no exposure lock function or accurate battery-level display.
