The Canon AS-6, also known as the Aqua Snappy, was released in 1986. It's a 35mm point-and-shoot film camera designed for underwater use and is waterproof up to 10 meters (33 feet). Built for beach days, snorkeling, and rainy adventures, it features a fixed-focus 35mm f/3.5 lens and rugged plastic housing in bright orange and gray.

⚠️ IMPORTANT FLASH DISCLAIMER – READ BEFORE PURCHASE
This camera's built-in flash is not working and is likely suffering from a failed capacitor. When the flash switch is turned on, it attempts to charge, producing an audible click and possible internal arcing. This can result in battery overheating and poses a risk of electric shock if touched during attempted flash charge.
Do not attempt to use the flash. Use the camera strictly with the flash switch in the OFF position.

Buyer assumes all risk and responsibility regarding any future repair or usage of the flash system. The rest of the camera has been tested and works as intended. Batteries are included, but should only be used with the flash turned off.


This complete Canon kit includes:

  • Canon AS-6 35mm Camera – Tested, clean battery compartment, uses 2x AAA batteries (included). Flash not working – see above.

  • Canon AS-6 Auxiliary Viewfinder – Enhances framing visibility underwater

  • Canon Close-Up Rod AS – Assists in optimal subject distance for close-up underwater shots

  • Canon BR-AE Snap-On Sunshade – Reduces glare for outdoor shooting

  • Canon Globetrotter Frame – Aids composition in fast-action or murky water

  • Canon Dual Film Canister Float – Keeps spare rolls afloat while in water

  • Canon Soft Accessory Pouch – Holds small parts like the rod or shade

  • Canon Yellow Fanny Pack – Original Canon-branded bag for carrying the full kit

All accessories are Canon-branded and designed specifically for the AS-6 system. Cosmetic wear is minimal and consistent with age. Shutter tested and working.
