Since the introduction of the GS there is a changed designe of the battery, and combined shutter door release/rewind crank. Generaly, "G" indicates gold plated electrical contacts, "T" was used for the later black variants, while "S" was used for the chrome cameras. Below table shows the small differences in technical features and color. Yashica changed the model names accordingly, although the camera basically stayed the same.

The PC sync contact is placed on the left side of the camera, probably for aesthetic reasons. All models of Yashica Electro are fitted with the stepless Copal ELEC electronic blade shutter, with flash sync at all speeds.With the underexposed indication on, the photographer may consider using a tripod.Īuxiliary lenses, and auxiliary viewfinder Either situation can often be solved by changing the aperture, but anyway the shutter will still fire. 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. It was the first implementation of an electronically controlled shutter combined with aperture priority exposure automation. Together with its rare sister camera Yashica Electro half (introduced already in 1965) it is a milestone in exposure automation technology. This shutter release button also has a lock and a screw-in cable release socket. Metering is with a CdS cell and done by half depressing the shutter release button. The shutter has a stepless automatic shutter with speeds from 30 seconds to 1/500s. The front ring of the lens be used to select A for aperture priority exposure, B for bulb or a arrow symbol for flash.

The rangefinder is coupled to the focusing ring and the viewfinder is parallax corrected. A black model was also sold as the Yashica Electro 35 Professional. In 1966 Yashica introduced the Electro 35, the first of a very successful line of automatic exposure 35mm rangefinder cameras with fixed Yashinon lenses.
