Kodapack cartridge instamatic camera for the North American market. For focusing, pictographs for near, medium, and far subject distances were used. For electronic exposure control, the camera had Canon’s simple program EE using a CdS cell. The top of the camera had a flash cube socket. The camera had no frame counter, only a window on the camera back for viewing the frame number written on the film’s paper backing.
The camera’s high evaluation led to its marketing in other overseas markets.
