In this issue, we introduced the film sensitivity dial of Konica’s 1979 release manual focus SLR camera.
This camera’s film sensitivity setting dial is a streamlined design built into the shutter speed dial introduced in the previous issue.
The two functions are integrated in one dial, making the film sensitivity dial easy to understand and use.
