The body of the camera is weatherproof. This means that water can be splashed onto the body but it cannot be submerged in water. It uses a 38-105mm, f/4.5-8.9 zoom lens with the ability to focus from 0.6m (2 feet) to infinity. The lens can be protected with a lens cap built-in to the body so no case is required. There is a built-in flash with various modes including Auto, Auto-S (red eye), off and fill with night mode that can be changed with a button located by the LCD on the top of the camera. The shutterEither mechanical and/or electronic shutters are possible. Mechanical systems can use a leaf (or iris) shutter or curtain shutter. In digital cameras a third alternative is also possible: the electronic shutter. This works by activating and then deactivating the CCD so that no further light can be recorded, regardless of whether light is hitting the CCD. The shutter controls the exposure time, which can range from thousandths of a second to several minutes or more. Fast shutter speeds freeze action, slow speeds are more suited to stationary subjects. A tripod is recommended for slow exposure shots to avoid camera shake. More release supports firing remotely with the optional IR based RC 200 remote control.

The film transport is motordriven and automatically advanced to the first frame. Rewind is automatic at the end of the roll. Mid-roll rewind is possible with a button on the base of the camera. Rewinding is finished when "E" is flashing on the LCD. The camera is powered by a CR123A battery.

A later model added a QD function and a panorama setting. Dates modes include off, Year-Month-Day, Month-Day-Year, Day-Month-Year and Day-Hour-Minute. The year is supported up to 2030.
