What Jim Brick meant is that it is a camera designed and manufactured by
Panasonic or some other company. The inner workings of if the flash uses
quench or f/stop to control it's exposure would probably not be known by
Leica technicians in NJ or Solms. This is just an educated guess. Someone
there may know.

Also, my original reply was with the plastic mini(whatever) introduced
before the minizoom, in mind. Then I realized that you are probably talking
about the Titanium camera, which, I believe, is still a Japanese designed
and built camera.

But I could be wrong...
