Chronology of cameras Ricoh

This is a simple automatic camera probably from the late 1980’s or early 1990's. It has Ricoh’s unique flip up flash, but no red eye reduction facility. It has auto exposure, auto focus and auto wind and rewind. There is almost no control over the flash, but it does have a night mode without flash and exposure to about 1/2 second. It also has a timer, and the ability to take continuous frames, one frame every 60 seconds, multiple exposures on one frame, and pictures of a TV screen.
