Scale focus, auto-metering and auto advance, with a 35/2.8 Fujinon lens. This camera is similar in build quality and performance to the later-model offerings in the Konica C35 family, but with motorized film advance. The motor is quite noisy, but, like most of Fuji's offerings, the film does not advance until you release the shutter button. It offers 3 focus zones, plus infinity. Despite its plasticky feel, it is quite solidly built, and I was quite pleased with the images that it produced.

Fujica also produced an AF version of this camera, the Auto-7. I found mine at a flea market for $3.00, including the ERC.
 
I never paid much attention to these Fujica--they seemed a bit too big and too "auto", but the pictures show excellent sharpness and contrast.
I wonder if the camera can also handle low light condition, without flash.
With a wide shutter speed range of 1/8~1/500, it looks promising.
