The Nikon EF200 is a snapshot camera. It is the successor of the Nikon EF100 and was presented to the public in 1995. Because of the range of functions it is one of the simpler models of that time and could probably only convince a few professional users. The model was also offered in some markets as Nikon Nice Touch 3.
The camera comes with a built-in fixed focal length. The compact camera does not have a zoom. The focal length of the lens is 31 mm. The maximum aperture is f/5.6. The focus of the lens is fixed. The closest focusing distance for this lens is 130 cm.
The 35 mm camera has an exposure meter. It can be used with films with ISO 100 and ISO 400. The camera determines the correct film speed using the DX code. The aperture and exposure time are set fully automatically by the 35 mm camera and cannot be fixed.
A built-in flash is available for low-light photography. The range of the flash is indicated as 10 meters. A mode for reducing red eye in the photos is available.
The camera weighs 185 grams. The dimensions are 12 x 6.7 x 4.5 cm. Two AA batteries (eBay / Amazon*) are responsible for the power supply. For the sake of the environment, you should use rechargeable batteries with the camera.
