The Kodak Cameo sfm is a snapshot camera. The camera was produced for a short time in the 1990s. The country of manufacture in this case is Mexico. The range of functions is similar to the Cameo Motordrive.
The 35mm photo camera comes with a fixed lens with a fixed focal length. Manual focusing is not necessary with the 35mm camera. The Kodak Cameo sfm comes with an autofocus.
The 35mm camera has a built-in light meter. The light meter is built for films with a sensitivity from ISO 100 to ISO 1000. The film speed is determined by the DX code. The exposure settings are automatically adjusted by the Kodak Cameo sfm.
In low light conditions the built-in flash can be used. The 35mm camera is powered by two AAA batteries (eBay / Amazon*). A display on the top of the camera shows the images already taken.
films for the Kodak Cameo sfm
The Kodak Cameo sfm is designed for 35mm film according to the manual. 35mm films are still produced today and are quite easy to get. A color film for the 35mm camera would be the Kodak Ultramax 400*. A possible film for black and white images is the Ilford Delta 400*. Both films provide solid results and have a DX code on the cartridge for determining film speed.
The color film is processed in the C-41 development process. The C-41 process is performed by almost all photo labs. Most drugstore chains in Germany offer the development of color films. The black and white film is put into a special black and white developer. There are various possible developers to choose from. Development in a professional photo lab is also possible for this type of film.
The negatives of the photo camera have a size of 24 mm x 36 mm. The film is automatically transported by the Kodak Cameo sfm. A small window on the back of the camera always gives information about the current film.
