The Minolta AF-DL or Minolta Freedom DL was one of the early easy-to-use all-automatic compact cameras for 35mm film. The on/off-switch opens and shuts the two-part lens cover. A red button allows switching the lens from wide-angle focus to standard focus and vice versa. This is the meaning of "DL": dual lens . The camera has automatic film transport, auto-focus with focus hold option (by pushing the shutter release button halfways), and automatic activation of the built-in flash. It may have been produced in Malaysia, while some were manufactured in Japan. This camera was available with or without quart date print.
