The fixed Rokkor Macro lens comprises 10 separate elements, plus an additional swing-in close-up lens. The zoom range runs from 25 to 50 mm with an aperture of f/4.5. The camera has an automatic exposure control (time automation) to manage exposure, ranging from 1/1000 to 10 seconds. Over- and underexposures are indicated by an LED in the viewfinder. The viewfinder itself is a Porro prism viewfinder with a microprism grid. Aperture and exposure compensation can also be set manually on the camera.

In addition, long-exposure photography can be selected. On the top of the camera there is a hot shoe for flash synchronization. To power the camera, two button cells are required.
