The camera was constructed of pressed metal covered with leather, similar to earlier versions, but with a modified view finder housing. The lens is a Mycro Una fixed-focus 20mm f/4.5, and the aperture is set from 4.5 to 11. The Una shutter was capable of speeds from 1/25, 1/50, 1/100 per second, including bulb as selected by an level at the top. The Mycro subminiature camera set the standard for Hit type subminiature cameras to follow. This later version has both the lens faceplate labeled with Sanwa Co. Ltd and Mycro Camera Company.
