Compact. Capable. Made for the moments in between. Released in 1995 and also known as the Minolta Riva Zoom 70W or Freedom Zoom Explorer 70W, the Capios 25 is a sleek point-and-shoot 35mm film camera with a versatile wide-angle zoom lens. Simple to use but packed with thoughtful features, it’s the kind of camera that slips into your jacket pocket — and into your everyday routine.
✔ Slim, lightweight design for life on the move – At just 260g, the Capios 25 is built for portability. Whether you’re people-watching at a Paris café or road-tripping along the coast, this compact 35mm camera fits easily in your pocket or travel bag — and feels just right in the hand.
✔ Versatile 28–70mm zoom lens for portraits + wide scenes – From candid close-ups to wide, scenic frames, the 28–70mm Minolta zoom lens (f/3.5–8.4) offers flexibility without complication. Crisp results across focal lengths make it a reliable all-rounder — especially for those just getting into film photography.
✔ Macro mode lets you get close — without any extras – With a minimum focus distance of just 40cm, this camera’s macro functionality makes it easy to photograph textures, florals, food, and finer details. No add-ons needed — just flick into close-up mode and shoot.
✔ Fully automatic shooting with built-in flash – With auto exposure, auto film advance/rewind, and a pop-up flash (featuring red-eye reduction and fill modes), the Capios 25 lets you focus on the frame — not the settings. A classic point-and-shoot that feels truly point-and-shoot.
✔ Retro touches: panorama mode + date stamp – Use the switchable panorama mode for a cinematic crop, and add a nostalgic timestamp to your images for that authentic ‘90s feel.
Whether you’re starting your film journey or looking for a compact, everyday camera with character, the Minolta Capios 25 offers style, simplicity, and solid results — all in one vintage package.
Battery Requirement – This reusable film camera operates with 1x CR123A 3V battery (sold separately).
