The Autoboy Epo was developed as the successor to the long-term best-selling model in the Autoboy fully automatic 35mm compact camera series, the Autoboy Luna, first released in October l994. While retaining the basic features and design concept of the Luna series, it improves the features and simplifies operation.
By employing two aspherical elements, the lens is a high-magnification 3.2X (28-90mm) wide-angle zoom lens, yet it is installed in a compact, full-flat body that is smaller than the Autoboy Luna XL that only has a 2.5X zoom lens. The compact full-flat design, sliding lens cover, advanced molding techniques and full silver coating produce a fashionable high-quality image. Operation is improved by grouping the large Best Shot Dial, incorporating the main switch and exposure mode settings, and LCD panel on the back cover; and by adding an eyesight adjustment capability to the eyepiece.
