The camera like the Agfa Parat-I but with fixed shutter speed 1/125 and automatic aperture control by pressing the shutter release in a half way, then a red or green signal appeared at the top-plate or left in the viewfinder for underexposure or sufficient light available. Film speeds is a range from ISO 10/11 to ISO 250/25. In flash mode the shutter works with 1/30. ^[1]
