The King Regula Picca-mat is a King camera. It is a model from the 70s. The King KG had its headquarters in Bad Liebenzell in the Black Forest in Germany.
The camera comes with a fixed lens. The name of the lens is "Color-Isconar 40mm f/2.8". The focal length is 40 mm and the maximum aperture is f/2.8. The King Regula Picca-mat has no autofocus. It is focused manually.
The King Regula Picca-mat exposure meter is a selenium exposure meter and works independently of a power source. It is designed for an ISO range of 25 to 400 and provides a measurement of the lighting conditions, which can then be transferred to the setting of the aperture and exposure time.
For long exposures, the camera has a Bulb mode, but this can only be used with a cable release. External flash use is possible via the built-in hot shoe.
Since the camera is mechanical, it does not need a power source to take pictures. The built-in light meter is also independent of a power source and works solely by measuring the incident light.
