Konica's automatic FP-1 — programmed-exposure SLR, AR mount, electronic shutter, 1981.

The Konica FP-1 is a 35mm film SLR made by Konica and introduced in 1981 using the AR bayonet mount. It was a programmed-exposure body positioned toward the simpler, more automated end of Konica's SLR range, sharing design ideas with the motorised FS-1 generation. It was aimed at users who wanted point-and-shoot ease in an SLR form.

It is a single-lens reflex for 35mm film using the Konica AR bayonet mount. The FP-1 features programmed automatic exposure with through-the-lens metering, where the camera sets both aperture and shutter for the user. It uses an electronically controlled shutter and needs battery power to meter and operate. Its emphasis is on automatic simplicity rather than a wide range of manual controls.

The FP-1 suits beginners, students and travellers who want an SLR that handles exposure automatically with minimal fuss. Its programmed mode makes it approachable for users new to interchangeable-lens cameras. Its strengths are simplicity and automation; its limits are the reduced manual control and complete reliance on the battery to function.

For used buyers, confirm the camera powers up and meters, since it depends fully on the battery to operate in its automatic mode. Check the foam light seals and mirror-damper foam for perishing, test the shutter, and inspect the battery compartment for corrosion. Verify film advance and rewind, check the prism and screen for haze, and note that a flat battery leaves this electronic body unable to shoot.
