The Fujifilm DL-300 is an automatic compact camera. It was introduced by Fuji in the 1980s.
The Fujifilm DL-300 comes with a fixed 35mm lens (Fujinon 35mm f2.8). The maximum aperture is f/2.8, and the shortest exposure time is 1/330 second. The exposure setting is selected by the camera itself, as it is known from this type of cameras. In case of insufficient light, the built-in flash can be switched on.
Furthermore, the Fuji offers a self-timer and a tripod socket.
The Fujifilm DL-300 supports all 35mm films (eBay / Amazon*). The light meter ensures correct exposure for all films between ISO 100 and ISO 1600, and automatically reads the sensitivity from the cartridge’s DX encoding.
The snapshot camera is powered by a CR-P2 battery (eBay / Amazon*). Without one, the DL-300 cannot be used.
The Fujifilm DL-300 was also available as the Fujifilm DL-300 Date, in Japan Cardia Hite Date, with the ability to imprint the date on the film.
