This is a fully automatic 35mm compact camera with two focal lengths: 40mm f/2.8 (4 elements in 3 groups) and 70mm f/4.9 (7 elements in 6 groups).

Switching between the two focal lengths is automatic. The viewfinder magnification also changes at the same time: 0.45x for 40mm and 0.72x for 70mm. The camera has only two focal lengths. It does not have a zoom lens. The camera also has a built-in soft-focus filter. It also came with a multi-image adapter for special effects. It was a camera for fun.
