Product Description

From the Manufacturer

The Kyocera Yashica EZ Zoom 105 is a 35-mm popular compact camera equipped with a 2.8x zoom lens, allowing you to shoot in a wide range of situations, from landscapes to portraits. The EZ Zoom 105 incorporates a real-image zoom viewfinder and has the dioptric adjustment mechanism (-3 to +1D), making it possible for photographers to make adjustments according to their field of vision. In addition, the EZ Zoom 105 features a zoom flash function that the angle of the flash synchronizes with the lens zooming. This feature gives you a wide range of focus from wide angle to telephoto. The camera features an exposure compensation mode (+1.5 EV) which is useful when you take a picture against the sun or near a window. The camera also features six flash modes, including the Night Portrait mode that highlights the background atmosphere and the Landscape mode that enhances the sharpness of a landscape.

This camera is easy to operate, and each button is clearly placed on top of the camera. The camera is designed to be easy to hold with its grip. A bright, beautiful UV coating has been applied to the surface of the body.

Equipped with 2.8x Zoom Lens from 38-mm wide angle to 105-mm telephoto
The EZ Zoom 105 features a 2.8x zoom lens consisting of six elements in six groups, using two aspherical lenses. The lens zooms from 38-mm wide angle to 105-mm telephoto, so you can enjoy photography in a wide range of situations including landscapes, portraits and ceremonies.

Dioptric adjustment mechanism for the viewfinder
The EZ Zoom 105 incorporates a real-image zoom viewfinder to provide a clear view of the subject. The camera has a dioptre adjustment dial, enabling you to adjust in a rage from -3D to +1D.

Zoom flash
EZ Zoom 105 has a zoom flash function that makes the angle of the flash synchronize with the lens zooming. This function gives you a wide range of focus from wide angle to telephoto.

+1.5EV exposure compensation
The +1.5EV exposure compensation is useful in situations where the background is very bright and the subject is in shadow, like a silhouette. This situation occurs when photographing people against the sun or near a window.

Six flash modes to respond to different photographic conditions

• Automatic Flash Mode: The flash fires automatically any time it is required when it is dark.
• Auto Flash/Red-Eye Reduction Mode: The red-eye effect may occur when you photograph people using a flash in a dark place. To reduce this effect, a lamp lights in advance, then the photograph is taken using the flash.
• Flash Restriction Mode: Restricts the use of the flash to retain the atmosphere of the location and to enable photos taken at dusk or indoors to have a natural quality.
• Night Portrait Mode: This mode is effective when you wish to feature both the subjects and the background in the street at night. This mode makes it possible to adjust the shutter speed automatically according to the brightness of the background when using the flash.
• Fill Flash Mode: When you photograph people in direct sunlight, the result is often unwanted dark shadows. This mode eliminates the shadows and illuminates people when there is a strong backlight.
• Landscape Mode: This mode is useful when you are photographing a landscape from a distance (the flash is canceled).

Looks like a good camera. Haven't completed one roll of film as yet, but it seems to work OK.
