This 1989 camera has an auto programmed zoom system with manual zoom override, flash auto adjust with the zoom, and a backlight control function. It also comes with a comfortable well placed hand strap plus a Chinon 35-70mm zoom lens with power zoom controls. The camera works on a 6 volt 2CR5/DL245 battery that powers the built in flash, the auto film advance, the left hand zoom controls on the bottom, the ¾ by 1 inch LCD indicator screen on top, and all the other controls this camera has. The Handyzoom also has a very large view finder that adjusts with the zoom lens controls and gives you excellent coverage of the subject matter.
