Chronology of cameras Chinon

Traduction de Alphonse Khuu

The 35 F-II is a very simple camera without setting. The only setting is the sensitivity of the film. The camera accepts only 100/200 ISO or 400/1000 ISO. Note the latitude of the second setting. This is the choice of sensitivity that sets the aperture, since the shutter speed is unique. The aperture may be 3.8 or 8 or 16. The use of flash (that is extractable and activable thanks to the orange button located under the camera body) also affects the choice of shutter speed.
A red LED lights up next to the viewfinder when it is necessary to use the flash.
