I am always amazed by old vintage cameras that operate mechanically for some automatic setting. This camera is one of them.
The Fujica 35 Auto M was made in 1962 with an auto aperture function for semi-automatic shooting. Unlike other auto aperture cameras in the 1960s, this camera also overrides the shutter speed when the shutter speed is too low or too fast for correct exposure, and that is done mechanically. This made the camera so complex in design.
Let's see how complex it is and hope you get some useful info from my video. Enjoy!
