Manufactured from 1977 to 1984. Body and featuresBesides the fixed back door, the XG 1 had a simplified viewfinder read out: The range between 1/15s and 1/2s was now represented by one LED. Further it lacked the memo holder and had just a DIN/ASA conversion scale instead.VersionsIn early 1982 the camera got the new "rising sun" logo on the prism cover, and model designation now included a hyphen: The XG 1 became a XG-1. Later that year, the XG 1 was replaced by the XG-1(n) with a new body design with a plastic front grip like the XG-M. It has the 'Acute Matte' focusing screen and a red M light in the viewfinder when not in auto mode (and thus when the meter is not working). The XG-1(n) finally got the memo holder on the back door. Although the box, manual and other literature refer to this camera as XG-1(n), the camera itself is engraved with XG-1.
