Features
Motor DriveLeave the crude advance wheels of the past long
behind. The 360F is equipped with a state-of-the-art film
motor drive. After you press the shutter release, the film
will automatically advance to the next frame. Also this allows
you to rewind easily for multiple exposures.
Waist-Level FinderA discreet secondary viewfinder feeds a
constant image to the 360F’s waist level finder. When holding
the camera at (you guessed it) your waist, you can look from
the top down use this bright little finder to compose your
shots. This is excellent for low-level and candid shots –
as you subject probably won’t even realize that you’re
pointing the camera at them.
Weather-Guided ExposureThree apertures (f/4.5, f/6.8, and f/15)
determine the exposure of your shots. For ease of use and
ridiculous charm, three weather symbols are provided (rain,
clouds, and sun) to guide you towards the proper aperture setting.
Built-In Electronic FlashA strong front-mounted flash
illuminates individuals or small groups both day and night.
Merely switch it to “on” and blaaaaoooowwww!
Standard HotshoeAs if the built in flash wasn’t rock and roll
enough, you can choose to bring in the big guns as well –
the standard hotshoe. Toss on a Colorsplash flash or any other
manual hotshoe flash and kick out the jams with a burst of light.
Tripod MountA little bone toss for you profi-photo types. The
standard bottom thread allows you to attach the 360F to a
standard tripod screw. Perfect for group portraits, landscape
studies, and steadfast snapshots of furious swans.
