The Chinon Auto GLX is a basic but good quality Japanese-made autofocus point-and-shoot 35mm from circa 1986. It features a sharp fixed 35mm f3.9 lens; auto focus with focus lock (handy for off-center compositions); and a flash that will only fire when you switch it on (always a favorite feature of ours). 

The camera requires two AA batteries (not included).

Example photos
This is a somewhat rare camera so we couldn't find example photos but here are some photos taken with the closely related Chinon Auto GL AF (which shares the same lens design): https://www.lomography.com/cameras/3348710-chinon-auto-gl-af/photos

Condition notes
The camera was tested with batteries installed and a film roll running through the camera (the film was not developed). All functions are working correctly. The camera is in good cosmetic condition (see photos).
