Sporting a 38-135mm f/3.2-8 lens, this is a high-end model in the Autoboy Jet series.
In the real-time mode, the shutter release time lag (the time it takes for the shutter to release after the shutter button is pressed) is only 0.018 sec. This fully automatic autofocus camera features high-performance specs with four picture-taking modes and the fixed-magnification mode which keeps the subject size constant in the viewfinder.
You can also imprint a caption in one of four languages, use the wireless remote controller(CAPTION model only) to trip the shutter from any direction, and use either the eye-level or low-angle viewfinder.
