Canon's Sure Shot Max — 35mm autofocus fixed-lens compact, program AE, 1991.
The Canon Sure Shot Max is a fixed-lens 35mm autofocus compact from 1991 in Canon's Sure Shot point-and-shoot line. Canon marketed related versions under the Prima name in Europe and the Autoboy name in Japan, so the same body may be found under more than one label.
As a fixed-lens 35mm compact it has no interchangeable mount, so those fields are blank. It uses a fixed focal-length lens rather than a zoom, autofocus, a built-in automatic flash, and program automatic exposure, with motorised film loading, wind and rewind. The camera is battery-powered and electronic, so a charged cell is needed for it to meter, focus and fire.
The Sure Shot Max is a simple everyday and beginner compact for snapshots, holidays and casual use, favouring ease of use over zoom reach or manual control. Its fixed prime lens keeps the body compact and the operation straightforward.
When checking one used, look at the film-door light seals for perished foam, inspect the fixed lens for haze or fungus, and confirm any status display reads cleanly. Test the shutter, autofocus and flash to confirm the electronics and film motor cycle, and examine the battery compartment for corrosion or residue from leaked cells.
