Scope and content
Item is a sheet-metal body, which can mount a large, unwieldy bulb flashgun. Exposures are 6x9 on 620 film. The lens has two positions, 5 to 10 feet and beyond 10 feet, and the Shutter can be set to I (snapshot) or B (time exposure).
Electric flashbulbs were well known by press photographers at the time, and this camera is Kodak's attempt to introduce it for amateur use. The result is a very large flash mounted on the front of the camera, which requires two batteries.
