The Fuji Pocket Fujica Flash AW is a pocket film camera built by Fuji. It was sold in the 1980s. It was manufactured in a factory in Japan. The model was available in different colors. There was a version in red, black, and silver. A protective case was offered to match.
The Fuji camera comes with a fixed focal length lens. The focal length of the lens is 20 mm. The focus of the lens is fixed. With this camera, it is recommended to maintain a minimum distance of 100 cm from the subject to obtain sharp images.
A flash is built-in for pictures in low light or poor lighting conditions. With ISO 100 films, it reaches up to 1 – 3. The camera can be mounted on a tripod.
The camera requires two AA batteries (eBay / Amazon*). These are also necessary for the automatic film transport. This functionality (Auto Winder) is rare in pocket film cameras.
Films for the Fuji Pocket Fujica Flash AW
The manual for the Fuji Pocket Fujica Flash AW advises to expose pocket films. Fortunately, this type of film is available again today. The Austrian company Lomography manufactures films in the 110 format.
For monochrome shots, the Lomography Orca 110* is ideal. An option for color photographs is the Lomography Tiger 110*. The color film is developed using the C-41 process. Although this process is supported by almost every photo lab, not all labs accept orders for the development of 110 films.
