Similarly, when the shutter speed would have to be faster than 1/500s the viewfinder shows a right pointing arrow and there is a red control light on the top. When the shutter speed for the aperture selected is lower than 1/30s, the viewfinder shows an orange arrow pointing left and an orange light is displayed on the top of the camera. However, even this speeds were controlled electronically. Only B (bulb) and X (flash, 1/30s) could be chosen manually. In fact, without the battery the shutter would only run at its fastest speed of 1/500s and a manual selection of the shutter speed was not foreseen.

In 1966 Yashica introduced the Electro 35, the first of a very successful line of automatic exposure 35mm rangefinder cameras with fixed Yashinon lenses.
