Miranda was originally a Japanese company who took on the name from 1957 until 1976. In 1981 it was brought by Dixons, the UK electronics retailer and this camera (from 1991) is a part of that line.

This ‘Solo Twin’ i silver camera is a slightly quirky point and shoot with two lenses on a rotating plate in the body, labelled ‘normal’ and ‘wide’. Engaging the ‘normal’ lens brings a mask into the viewfinder to reflect the narrower field of view.

The ‘normal’ lens is a f/8 45mm 2 element plastic lens, while the ‘wide’ is f/8 33mm 3 element plastic lens. The ‘normal’ fixed focus 1.8m to infinity, while the ‘wide’ is 1.5m to infinity.

The camera is fully automatic transport, has DX sensing and a light meter next to the viewfinder. It also has a fully automatic flash, with a button for fill flash on the bottom corner. It has a sliding lens cover.
