The video focuses on the iconic action of film winding, a process that might feel novel to those who have never used a film camera. Additionally, it emphasizes that the new product is a half-frame camera. Half-frame cameras allow for twice the number of shots on a single roll of film, offering high cost-performance and the ability to enjoy more photos while conserving film. Based on the mentions in the teaser video, it is almost certain that the new product will be half-frame.
