Canon AF35J
A compact 35mm point-and-shoot camera with active infrared autofocus and built-in flash
Overview
The Canon AF35J is a 35mm autofocus compact camera made by Canon. It has active infrared autofocus, programmed autoexposure and a built-in pop-up electronic flash. Everything is automatic, so there is little to do but point and shoot. A motor-driven transport loads the film, advances it and rewinds it. The bright-frame viewfinder has parallax correction marks and 0.45x magnification for composing the shot.
