A weatherproof autofocus compact, sold in the US as the Infinity.
Olympus calls it the world's first weatherproof fully automatic compact. In Japan it was nicknamed Nurepika, wet flash.
The lens is a Zuiko 35mm f/2.8 with four elements in four groups. It focuses by active infrared from 0.75m, with a focus lock.
Exposure is programmed from EV8 to EV17 at ISO 100, and film speed is read from the DX code between ISO 50 and 3200.
The built-in flash fires on its own in low light and backlight.
The focus lock button sits next to the viewfinder, an awkward place to reach, and the flash has no override.
An XA-style cover protects the lens, and the shutter locks while it is closed.
It runs on one 6V lithium cell, a DL223A or BRP2, and weighs 225g without it.
