The Minolta Prod-20's is a camera from Minolta. It was introduced in the 1990s. From the look of the housing, however, it should remind you of a camera from the past. However, it is equipped with the usual functions of the time.
The Japanese 35mm camera comes with a fixed focal length. The model does not have a zoom function. The focal length of the lens is 35 mm. The maximum aperture is f/4.5 and focusing is facilitated by a built-in autofocus. The closest focusing distance is 95 cm. There is no manual focus option.
The 35 mm camera has an automatic exposure control. It automatically sets aperture and shutter speed. The sensitivity of the film is read out via the DX coding on the film cartridge. Here, the camera can recognize values from ISO 100 to ISO 1000. If no code can be read out, ISO 100 is set.
Of course, the compact camera also has a built-in flash. At ISO 100, the range is 3.3 meters. The recharging time is around 2.4 seconds.
The 35mm camera has a built-in self-timer and a thread for a tripod. The self-timer has a ten second delay.
