Unlike a typical point-and-shoot, the Genesis III combines the ease of fully automatic operation with a true TTL (through-the-lens) viewfinder, giving photographers parallax-free composition similar to an SLR without requiring interchangeable lenses. It was part of Chinon's innovative Genesis series, designed to bridge the gap between compact cameras and SLRs.
