AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

The Scoopic 16, launched in 1965 with its name derived from the word “scoop” in the jargon of news broadcasting, was developed by Canon as the world's first 16 mm movie camera with a built-in zoom lens that was not merely limited to news reportage but had many other wide applications as well.

With this camera both high functionality and full capacity were made possible with such features as a wide angle 6:1 zoom lens, a servo mechanism that made the camera easy to operate even for inexperienced users, electromotive film feed and semi-automatic loading mechanisms, and many other features.

NB*** This camera is in need of a new battery adapter! Meantime 8 celled AA batteries in a borrowed adapter (not included with the camera) have sufficed for me.
