The F55 is the ideal introduction to SLR photography, with a wide range of Automatic features to make great photographs easily. Whatever you shoot there is a 'Vari-Program' that sets up the camera for the best exposure. Just select the mode and the F55 takes care of the rest. The smooth autofocus means you never miss a moment, whilst the built-in flash pops up automatically when you need it. It's small, it's light, it fits snugly in your hands and delivers clear, sharp results with extra possibilities of control and creativity.
