Description

This is a basic consumer point-and-shoot camera from the late film era. While Bell + Howell was historically a prestigious manufacturer of motion picture equipment, by the 1990s the brand name was often licensed for use on entry-level mass-market cameras. The "Panorama" feature on this model is achieved through internal masking that crops the top and bottom of a standard 35mm frame to create a wide-aspect ratio look. It features motorized film advance and rewind, a fixed-focus lens, and a built-in automatic flash.
