* **Objektīvs:** Fiksēta fokusa **24 mm f/4** objektīvs. Tā kā tas ir pusrāmja formāts, skata leņķis ir līdzīgs aptuveni 35 mm objektīvam uz parastās kameras.
* **Automātika:** Kamera ir "point-and-shoot" tipa – tā pati uztin filmiņu un kontrolē ekspozīciju (parasti fiksēts slēdža ātrums ap sek.).
### Kāpēc tā ir populāra šodien?
1. **Diptiha estētika:** Tā kā kadri tiek uzņemti pāros, attīstot filmiņu, bieži iegūst divas blakus esošas fotogrāfijas, kas rada interesantu stāstījumu vai vizuālo kolāžu.
2. **Ekonomija:** Ņemot vērā filmiņu augstās cenas, iespēja uzņemt divreiz vairāk bilžu uz viena rullīša ir liels pluss.
3. **Dizains un lietošana:** Tā ir viegla, kompakta un ļoti vienkārša. Dažiem modeļiem ir ērti AAA bateriju turētāji, kas atvieglo barošanu.
### Padomi lietošanai
* **Baterijas:** Pārbaudiet bateriju nodalījumu – vecākiem modeļiem var būt nepieciešamas CR-P2 baterijas, bet jaunākajām versijām (Express II) mēdz būt adapteri parastajām pirkstiņbaterijām.
* **Zibspuldze:** Tā parasti darbojas tikai "Single" (viena kadra) režīmā, nevis ātrajā sērijveida režīmā. ">
This is a unique and relatively rare 35 mm film camera that has become a cult object among analog photography enthusiasts due to its unusual features.
### Main Features
* **Half-frame format:** The camera captures two vertical images on a single standard 35 mm film frame. This means you can take **72 photos** with a 36-frame film.
* **High-Speed Drive:** The camera's main "highlight" is the motorized drive that allows up to **8 frames per second**. It was initially developed for analyzing the
movements of athletes (such as golfers).
* **Lens:** Fixed focus **24 mm f/4** lens. Since it's a half-frame format, the viewing angle is similar to approximately a 35 mm lens on a regular camera.
* **Automation:** The camera is "point-and-shoot" type—it automatically winds the film and controls exposure (usually fixed shutter speed around the second).
### Why is it popular today?
1. **Diptych aesthetics:** Since frames are captured in pairs, developing the film often results in two adjacent photos, creating an interesting narrative or visual collage.
2. **Economy:** Considering the high prices of film, the ability to take twice as many pictures on a single roll is a big plus.
3. **Design and usability:** It is lightweight, compact, and very simple. Some models have convenient AAA battery holders, making power supply easier.
### Usage Tips
* **Batteries:** Check the battery compartment—older models may require CR-P2 batteries, while newer versions (Express II) tend to have adapters for regular AAA batteries.
* **Flash:** It usually works only in "Single" (single frame) mode, not in the fast serial mode.
