Ricoh L-20

Other Features... Functionality Confirmed

This is a casual compact camera similar to a toy camera. However, it requires batteries (2 AA alkaline batteries) (due to motor winding and strobe function. Batteries are included for now). The lens is 35mm (slightly wide-angle) F4.5 (slightly dark, brighter than toy cameras and disposable cameras). The shutter speed is 1/125 seconds. The manufacturer's description states, "There are no adjustments to make, it's easy to use, and even beginners can use it without any problems."
(Width 132mm, Height 68mm, Depth 50mm, Weight 230g, excluding batteries)
(Turn on the strobe switch in dark places like indoors)

However, the modest manufacturer has secretly incorporated a wonderful mechanism. There is a slide-type infinity lever on the bottom of the front of the camera. It's probably set to a distance that is commonly used (around 3m to 5m?), so when you take pictures of distant scenery, it will be slightly blurry. But if you push this lever to the right (mountain mark) while taking a picture, it will focus at infinity. If you push the lever just a little, it will focus at 5m to 10m or more (right? Mr. Manufacturer).

Another feature is a switch on the front of the camera to adjust the film sensitivity (100, 200, 400, 1000). You need to adjust it before shooting, but you can adjust it in situations like backlighting where the subject is dark (a secret technique?).

Well, maybe you shouldn't think about things like that with this camera, but maybe it's the conscience of the engineers from the RIKEN lineage? (Just kidding)
