The Nikon AF230 (aka Fun Touch 5) is a nice simple 35 film point-and-shoot camera featuring an autofocus wide-angle 29mm lens. It features handy flash cancel (for situations when you don't want the flash to go off) and force flash (for fill light or backlight compensation) button as well as a self timer but other than that it's a pure simple point-and-shoot.

This is the somewhat rare and, in our opinion, nicer looking black version of this camera (the 'metallic champagne' AF230 is much more common).

Battery information

This camera requires two AA batteries (not included).

Condition notes

The camera is in very good cosmetic condition (see photos) and is fully functional. We verified its auto focus and auto exposure are performing well. It was tested with batteries and film installed (the film was not processed however). The original leather case is included.
