Nikon W35

The Nikon W35 is a snapshot camera. The 35mm camera was built by Nikon and presented to the public in 1991. In some regions the camera was also sold as Nikon One Touch 200. The model was aimed at beginners or occasional photographers.

The 35mm photo camera comes with a fixed lens. 35 mm is the focal length of the lens. The maximum aperture is f/3.5 and the camera has an autofocus. The closest focusing distance for this lens is 65 cm.

Photography is made easier by the built-in light meter. The film speed is determined by the DX code on the film cartridge. Supported are films with ISO 100, ISO 200, ISO 400, and ISO 1000. If the ISO value is not one of these, the rounded-off value is always used; example: ISO 160 becomes ISO 100. If the film cartridge does not have a DX code, the camera sets ISO 100. You cannot set the ISO value yourself.

Aperture and exposure time are set automatically by the Nikon W35. A flash is built in for pictures in low light or poor lighting conditions. At a sensitivity of ISO 100 it reaches up to 9 meters. The time for charging, after use, is about 5 seconds.

The 35mm camera has a built-in self-timer and a thread for a tripod. The self-timer has a lead time of ten seconds.

The dimensions of the Nikon W35 are 12.4 x 6.8 x 5 cm. It weighs 200 grams. Power is supplied by two AA batteries (eBay / Amazon*). According to the manufacturer, a few batteries should be sufficient for about 24 rolls of film with 24 frames and 50% flash.
