exposure - What is the shutter speed, aperture, and focal length of the Kodak Funsaver disposable camera?


I'm looking at the Kodak FUNSAVER disposable camera.


Does anyone know what the shutter speed, aperture, and focal length of this camera are? Are they fixed, or do they adjust automatically?



Answer



Disposable cameras usually work in a completely fixed mode of operation (lens focus, aperture and shutter speed). The flash can be turned on or off but power output is fixed . Exposure variations are handled during developing (since nobody expects the absolute highest quality from disposable cameras the effects of pushing or pulling the film go unnoticed).



Fuji disposables use a single element 30mm f/11 lens whilst the ones made by Kodak have a patented 30mm f/10 lens consisting of two aspherical moulded plastic elements. Both manufacturers use a shutter speed of 1/100s and ISO800 film.
