Today we have a Canon auto-focus film compact camera released in 1979.
Canon AF35M Autoboy (Reference product)
It is made of plastic and has a piano black color appearance.
The grip portion is shaped to prevent slipping.

The film sensitivity dial is located inside the red circle line and has an indicator window.

Next to the lens is a slide switch for the flash, and below it are the self-timer and pre-focus (a function to bring the camera roughly into focus) levers.

This time we introduced Canon’s auto-focus compact camera released in 1979.
The AF35M Autoboy was Canon’s first autofocus lens shutter camera.
It was a great film compact camera because it was a fully automatic compact camera in all functions.

The Autoboy series will continue after this.
I hope to introduce this series in the future when the opportunity arises, so please look forward to it!
