Question:I found this old camera at a yard sale and it looked intersting so I picked it up.
Unfortunatly, I am unfamilur with how in the world it works.

Either my google skills arent very good or there isnt much about it.

Here is an ebay link for a camera that is just like the one I found.

I found it mentioned in a couple other places, but have been unable to locate a manuel or anything.

Can anyone help me out?

Thank You

This is one camera for which you probably do not need a manual. It is just a simple, fairly cheap, camera. Just load the film and take photos. An SLR it is NOT. It is made to try to resemble a more professional camera and flash rig, but it is really little more than a toy. Just have fun with it and do not expect great results.

This "design" is made in China and sold under various names which is why you have problems finding a manual. The manual would actually be little more that a couple of poorly translated pages telling you nothing you can't figure out for yourself.

You shouldn't need a manual for this camera. Even if you can find one, it will just be a couple of pages long, and will not be of any help.

This camera is not a SLR (single lens reflex) but is made to just look like one. I would be surprised if the lenses' are interchangeable (if they are, you probably couldn't find another one), or if you can even use manual settings on this camera.

It is a 'fake', a knock off of a reputable brand (Canon, Pentax, Olympus, Nikon) film SLR camera.
