The bright yellow Weathermatic-A was first made in the 1980s as a watertight camera with a built-in electric flash that could be used in water in depths of up to 15 feet or 5 meters. It has very large black control knobs on the top of the camera, perfect for use in the time of diving and easier control. One knob is used for continuous focus for a range of about 3 feet up to infinity.
