Exposure	:	exposure setting is pretty nifty. It's a full manual camera but the film speed can be set using the ring at the bottom (press the button) and the aperture and shutter speed rings can be turned and set to the correct weather pictogram. The system is based on the sunny-16 rule, but in a simple and easily understandable way. Pretty clever!

Film Advance	:	single stroke on the back of the camera. The film rewinding mechanism is coupled with the film winding lever in a clever way. When you press the button on the left hand side of the camera then slide the slider downwards, the camera is set in "Rewind mode". The winding lever is then used for rewinding the film. Rewinding is done pretty quickly this way. Open the camera by pressing the small button on the bottom-left of the camera body.
Other	:	Even though this is the simplest of Retina camera and clearly made for the photographing masses it's really well thought out. Plenty of nifty features which make the camera a pleasure to use, and not only because of its Schneider Kreuznach lens. A cable release socket is fitted in the underside of the front mounted shutter release.
