The Olympus AF-1, released in 1986, is a landmark 35mm point-and-shoot film camera known for its rugged build, simplicity, and innovation. It holds the distinction of being the world’s first weatherproof fully automatic 35mm compact camera, earning it the nickname "Nurepika" (wet flash) in Japan.

Designed for casual photographers and travelers, the AF-1 features a sharp 35mm f/2.8 Zuiko lens, reliable autofocus, automatic exposure control, and a built-in flash—all housed in a durable, sleek body. Its weather-resistant construction made it suitable for outdoor use in challenging conditions, a rare feature in its time.

Despite its minimal controls, the AF-1 delivers consistently sharp images with good contrast and exposure, making it a favorite among film enthusiasts even decades after its release. It helped popularize the idea of high-quality, easy-to-use compact cameras and paved the way for Olympus's future Stylus (µ) series.
