The Research Department which was reorganized in November 1945 started the study of the camera body and the shutter mechanism, while the Designing Department proceeded in parallel with the shutter-speed test and the exposure meter as well as fundamental studies such as metal material and painting. The Designing Department immediately started the study of the camera's body construction. In November, 1945, both the 'Camera Special Commission' and 'the (Slide) Projector Special Commission' were reorganized to become the 'Camera and Projector Committee', which started the study of camera production. demand for cameras as export goods became reality, Nippon Kogaku hastily decided to urge the production of camera.ДЄt the board of directors meeting in October 1945, binoculars, photographic lenses and eyeglass lenses were designated as production items for one year from January 1946, and the camera was decided as the item to be produced next.ДЄt the same time, designers who were engaged in the design of mechanical computers were designated as camera designers and were ordered to start studying. However, there was a lot of enthusiasm for the camera among officers and men of the allied occupation troop, and as the U.S.

Therefore it was aimed to make a high-class product, it was decided that the camera will be the future subject of study. However, although Nippon Kogaku had experienced manufacturing aerial cameras and 3m / 2 m / 5m telescope cameras, it was the first experience to manufacture a high-class consumer camera. proposed the production of a camera was chiefly due to the following expectation:, 'a big demand can be expected if we make a reasonably-priced camera' and 'since data for the necessary photographic lens had been collected since approximately 1945, such a camera can be produced for sale in a short time.' The reason why the 'Camera Special Commission' of the 'Consumers Goods Production Subcommittee' of Nippon Kogaku K.K. Policy of Camera Manufacturing and Basic Research
