A "Shur Shot" camera, meaning you simply point it at the target, and once you have the desired picture, you just press the "Photo" button—all other settings are adjusted automatically. The flash is the only feature that can be manually controlled, using a wheel on the back of the camera. The camera is powered by a DL/CR123A 3V battery and uses standard film. It was made in the USA and Japan at the end of the 20th century.
