The Jupiter camera was manufactured by United Optical Instruments, of Southend-on-Sea, Great Britain. It was a plastic camera which captured 3x4cm frames on 127 rollfilm film. This candid type camera featured a fix focus lens and a simple time and instantaneous shutter working at 1/25 of a second. Film replacement was inconvenient due to the need to unscrew a fitting on the view finder and remove whole back to replace film.
