•	SPECIAL FEATURES
•	Besides		being		compact		and	light,			your
	Pocket		Fujica 250 is uniquely designed to
	make picture taking					extremely			easy and
	more enjoyable.
•	Operation			is	simplicity		itself:		focusing
	is	unnecessary			because		the	lens		is pre-
	focused		for you, and				there	is no			film
	speed setting or film rewinding to do. You
	just drop			in a	cartridge,		shoot,		and		drop
	out the		cartridge.
•	An	X-contact			hotshoe		lets		you		take
	indoor		pictures with			an	electronic				flash.
•	lts picture-taking scope can								be	vastly
	expanded			by	using	Fujicolor				F-TI400
	Pocket		Film.
