Chronology of cameras Ricoh 

ZF stands for 'Zone Focus', and the ZF has four click stops with green icons, but it also has an engraved focusing scale in metres and feet.  It is in fact a 500ST without the self timer!

The camera can be operated in shutter speed preferred auto or fully manually. The aperture in use is displayed on a scale in the viewfinder.
