Focusing: Manual focusing using a distance scale.
Lens: 40 mm focal length, f/4 aperture.

Exposure Meter: Some models had built-in exposure meters, but these were not mass-produced.
A distinctive feature of the "Smena SL" cameras is the use of the "Rapid" cassette system, which allowed for quick film changes but limited the number of frames to 12. This system did not become widely popular due to the difficulty in purchasing cassettes and the small number of frames per film roll.
