Released for news gathering photo journalists who were operating in the vanguard of news journalism. This was a professional model that demonstrated in its main body easy operability and durability.
Several new mechanisms were added, such as a filter slot that allowed fast side loading and replacement, a remote control shutter release mechanism that provided the new remote operation function, and a lock mechanism for 24-frame stationary shooting. However, single frame shooting was discarded with this new model.
