photographer.\u00a0 I do suspect it is\u00a0a necessary engineering decision considering that you need to open the back to put film in.\u00a0 With the dial you can turn the camera on and disable the flash in one operation which is a bonus as I rarely want to use the flash built into these compact cameras.\u00a0 It is also a very quiet camera in all it&#8217;s operations which only slightly counteracts its garish appearance.<\/p>\n\n\t\t<style type=\"text\/css\">\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 {\n\t\t\t\tmargin: auto;\n\t\t\t}\n\t\t\t#gallery-1 .gallery-item {\n\t\t\t\tfloat:
