The Konica FC-1 was a 35mm, SLR, film camera, which was first introduced by Konica in 1980. The FC-1 featured a through-the-lens Automatic Exposure and shutter speed-priority. An external motor could be attached to the FC-1: Auto Winder F. This motor was quite large and not very fast. This Japanese camera was equipped with a Hexanon AR 40mm f/1.8 standard lens, made of six elements arranged in five groups.

Flash synchronization X worked automatically at 1/100th of a second; manually, it worked at 1/60. For electronci flash, the camera had a hot-shoe on top, and X contact with synchro socket. The FC-1 also featured an eye-level, pentaprism viewfinder; field of view ratio 90ยบ/O real image-aligment system with split-image microdiaprism and mat plane. The camera was powered by four 1.5V alkaline battery cells LR44.The FC-1 controls are similar to those on the FS-1. The shutter speed dial is very easy to rotate and has no limitation in turning, as it does not have to move any mechanical gears. It can endlessly be turned in any direction. From B to 1/1000 s is just one click stop. Shutter release and self timer are not mechanical either, but electric buttons.
