The Konica FP-1 was a 35mm single lens reflex film camera produced by Konica between 1981 and 1983. An external motor, the Konica Auto Winder F, could be attached. The Konica FP-1 featured a programmed Automatic-Exposure (AK) and through-the-lens (TTL) metering system. Although the FP-1 was a compact reliable camera, it had only one problem as there was no possibility to change shutter speed or aperture for the user. Professional photography was not really possible that way, since the user could not influence the exposure or depth-of-field.
