Thanks again, Jim. I guess I'll just have to experiment and see if the resulting shots come out differently when the green light is blinking fast, as opposed to blinking slowly.

It's time for a new, high-quality compact camera

Maybe manufacturers are reluctant to launch a new high-quality 35mm film camera because they believe (rightly or wrongly) that a lot of photographers think that only medium format film is going to deliver better picture quality than the currently available digital cameras (excluding possibly the medium format ones). Even so, Fuji launched a new MF film camera in 2008, when digital had already captured virtually all the market, but its production lasted only six years. So, could it be mainly cold feet on the manufacturers' part about designing and building a camera that will probably only sell in relatively small numbers and involve quite a large investment? -
Many thanks, Jim. I wondered if it probably meant something like that. The only thing that still puzzles me, though, is why the green light blinks at two different rates - sometimes very fast, and at other times noticeably more slowly.

I've just bought a used Yashica Microtec Zoom 90 without the user manual. It has a green light in the viewfinder that sometimes flashes quickly, sometimes slowly and sometimes is just on constant without flashing. I expect this is similar to other cameras in the Microtec Zoom series. Can anyone please tell me what this all means? Are these warnings or confirmations? Thanks!
