Thanks for video! Got this awesome camera in perfect condition (even screen is perfect) and shot two rolls. It is actually just a GR1, but fully automatic.
Too sad that there is no easy way to turn off flash fast. I wish you could skip flash just by holding flash mode button, instead of pressing it two times - that would be a great idea.

And also i found manual for this camera and the remote control sensor is that weird black round button-ish thing right beneath the shutter button.

[@DavidHancock]

Thank you!

Swear that I have a Prego somewhere.
Have a Prego zoom which won’t keep batteries in any more.
Also have a lower priced Prego fixed camera.

[@DavidHancock]

They're fun to use for sure.

Was wondering what did you put on the inside of the back window & did you have light leaking issues?

[@DavidHancock]

Tin foil and some gaffers tape to hold it in. And I did. The foam around the window was completely gooey and had to be removed. No foam gasket means no light protection.

Neat camera, good way to lose money. IMO the only P&S cameras worth owning are the Canon AP/WP-1s, Konica Genbakantoku series, Nikon AW series, and other seriously weather sealed bodies. Can still get failures, but so much less likely since moisture is removed from the aging equation.

[@DavidHancock]

PnS cameras of the era were not really designed to be long-lasting, for sure. But, writ large, 90s cameras weren't designed for longevity.
