Despite its several exposure modes and clear LCD display for settings adjustment near the shutter release button, please note that this particular unit has a manual flash operation; the automatic flash deployment feature does not function, and the flash must be opened manually. This adjustment in functionality is reflected in the reduced price, which is a great deal considering the otherwise perfect condition of the camera. Settings can be selected using a mode dial on the top left side and a lever-switch around the shutter button for navigating the menu on the display. The camera offers the following major modes:
'Picture' mode: Offers fully programmed exposure with variations tailored for general use ('Green'), portraits (with moderate depth of field), landscape shots, close-ups (for maximum depth of field), and action scenes (featuring a fast shutter).
TV: Shutter-priority AE (automatic exposure).
AV: Aperture-priority AE.
M: Manual exposure.
Despite the flash's manual operation, the camera is in great working condition and is ready to be used for shooting. It comes with a carry case and documentation, adding extra value to your purchase. Sample photos from the lomography website.
