Film compartment. No curved film plane, sso there will be vignetting of the simple plastic lens.

These are the ultimate basics of a camera, focus free, single shutter speed and 2 apertures, linked to ISO setting. On this one you have a choice of a moderate wide angle and a setting called "tele", but 55mm are close to standard 50mm, so no real tele available. Point and shoot only. If you choose the right film, ISO 400 in general and ISO 200 on very sunny days, you can shoot outside photos that look o.k.. The rest will be "Lomo" style, but you can use the flash for interior photos. As I always say: You should have used one of these once in your life!
