There is a gouged area on the bottom corner of the camera body.

And the corners of the film chamber lid are folded back and overlap under the body.

When the lid of the film chamber is opened, it looks like this.

When the film is inserted, this gouge makes it easy to insert the film smoothly.

I think the bottom design of this Fujica compact camera is excellent and wonderful, as I mentioned. I think the cost and process increased for this part, but the design is in line with the user’s perspective of easy film insertion.
I think the design is very gentle in appearance.
