Canon's Sure Shot Mega Zoom 76 — 35mm autofocus zoom compact, program AE, sold as Prima, 1991.
The Canon Sure Shot Mega Zoom 76 is a fixed-lens 35mm autofocus zoom compact from 1991, part of Canon's Sure Shot point-and-shoot range. Canon offered equivalent versions in Europe under the Prima name and in Japan as the Autoboy, so the model turns up under all three labels in listings.
As a fixed-lens 35mm compact it takes no interchangeable lenses, so the mount fields are blank. It combines a built-in zoom lens, autofocus, an automatic built-in flash, program automatic exposure, and motorised film transport for loading, advance and rewind. It is electronically controlled and depends on a battery, so it will not operate with a flat cell.
The Mega Zoom 76 is a general travel and everyday camera for users who want a single automatic body with a zoom range. It is simple to point and shoot, with the compact-zoom trade-off of a variable-aperture lens and fully automatic exposure and focus.
On the used market, check the film-door light seals for perishing, look through the zoom lens for haze or fungus and confirm smooth zoom travel, and verify the LCD reads without bleed or dead segments. Test the autofocus and zoom motors, confirm the flash charges and fires, and inspect the battery compartment and door for corrosion or residue from old cells.
