Vintage Pentax IQZoom EZY-R 35mm autofocus point-and-shoot film camera from the late 1990s, designed as an easy-to-use compact with a 38-70mm Pentax power zoom lens, automatic exposure, autofocus, built-in flash, and fully automatic film handling.
The EZY-R uses a Pentax 38-70mm f/4.8-8.5 zoom lens constructed with 5 elements in 5 groups, including an aspherical lens element. The 38mm wide end works well for everyday snapshots, travel, and groups, while the 70mm telephoto setting gives you additional reach for portraits and more tightly framed photographs.

Focusing is handled by Pentax infrared active autofocus, with focus lock and a focusing range from approximately 1.8 feet / 0.55m to infinity. The camera also includes an Infinity-Landscape setting for photographing distant subjects without relying on normal autofocus. (manualzz.com)
Despite being marketed as an accessible automatic compact, the EZY-R offers considerably more shooting control than a basic point-and-shoot. In addition to standard programmed auto exposure, it includes daylight-sync fill flash, flash override, slow-shutter and slow-sync modes, +1.5 EV backlight compensation, Bulb exposure, Bulb-sync flash, red-eye reduction, and a self-timer.

The electronic shutter operates from approximately 1/320 to 1/3 second, with Bulb available for longer exposures. The built-in flash automatically activates in low light in its standard mode, while the selectable flash modes allow more control when shooting in backlit scenes or at night. (manualzz.com)
Film operation is almost entirely automatic. Insert a roll of 35mm film, pull the leader to the indicated mark, and close the back; the camera automatically advances to the first frame. It advances after every exposure and automatically rewinds at the end of the roll, with mid-roll rewind also available. DX-coded film speeds from ISO 25-1600 are read automatically. (manualzz.com)
