State in use.



The example looks like this. Since there is only a shutter, you can not make detailed settings, but it seems that there is no problem for shooting normally.






GIZMODO, an IT news site, said about RUHAcam, 'Since it does not have a function like autofocus, it is essentially equivalent to the digital version of a DIY film camera. However, the finished product is a retro cyber punk. It's like a future and it feels very good. In fact, what do you expect from a camera made of melted plastic with parts worth $ 120? Nanoha, that it is that's cool ' comment was.

According to the author, Penk Chen, the naming and concept of RUHAcam is inspired by the Becca Cam created by photographer Becca Farsace.
