NOTES:
  "The Canon AF35M, known in the States as the Sure Shot, and in Japan
  as the Auto Boy, was the first automatic focusing camera to employ
  an infared sensing system designed by Canon. The camera focused
  automatically winthin 27 feet, beyond which the limitations of the
  infared system required it to elect infinity focus. In addition to
  automatic exposure control, a built-in motor advanced and rewound the
  film. It was one of the most popular cameras ever made." Lewis, 1991.
