Nikon's entry 35mm AF compact — fixed 28mm f/5.6 lens, big viewfinder, AA power, aka Fun Touch 6, 1999.
The Nikon AF240SV was an entry-level 35mm autofocus compact introduced in 1999, sold in some markets as the Fun Touch 6. It sat at the bottom of Nikon's late-1990s point-and-shoot line, following the earlier AF200 and AF220, and a QD version added a quartz date back for imprinting the capture date.
It has a fixed wide-angle 28mm lens with a maximum aperture of f/5.6 and autofocus with a closest focusing distance of about 1m. The mechanical lens shutter fires at a fixed 1/100 second, exposure is fully automatic, and the built-in flash reaches roughly 2.7m at ISO 100 with red-eye reduction and a flash-off option. Nikon fitted an oversized bright 'Super Viewfinder'. Power comes from two AA batteries, and the body weighs about 155g.
This is a simple snapshot camera whose main draws today are the wide 28mm lens — unusual in budget compacts — AA-battery convenience and the big viewfinder. The slow f/5.6 aperture and single shutter speed mean it works best outdoors or with flash, suiting casual shooters and film beginners rather than anyone wanting control.
AA power makes it one of the easier film compacts to keep running, but still test that the shutter fires, the flash charges and the motor advances film. Check the film-door seals and battery compartment for corrosion from old cells. QD versions should have the date LCD checked for bleed; plain and QD examples otherwise behave identically.
