Tested and working Minolta Freedom AF 35R 35mm point-and-shoot film camera. This early 1990s compact is fully automatic, making it an excellent choice for beginners or anyone looking for a simple everyday film camera. It features a Minolta 35mm f/4.5 autofocus lens, automatic film advance and rewind, automatic exposure, and a built-in flash. The flash is automatic and cannot be manually disabled on this model. (Camera Wiki)
The camera has been fully tested and is in good working condition. It includes 2 new AA batteries, so it's ready to load with film and shoot.
Please note one operational quirk: occasionally the camera will lock up after use. Opening and closing the battery compartment instantly resets it and the camera continues working normally. This reset does not affect the frame counter or film position, so you will not lose exposures. It appears to be an intermittent electronic quirk rather than a film transport issue and has been reflected in the price.
