Yashica Electro 35 GTN black Rangefinder camera.

Yashica Electro 35 is a rangefinder camera made by the Japanese Company Yashica from the mid-1960s with a coupled and fixed 45mm F1.7 lens. It was the first electronically controlled camera, operating mainly in an aperture priority auto mode. The only other modes of operation are Flash and Bulb. The Electro 35 GS is introduced in 1970. They have all internal electrical contacts “gold plated” to prevent oxidation from impeding the flow of electricity around the circuits. The range of usable film speeds was doubled to range from 25 to 1000 ASA. The GTN was introduced in 1973, the major change for these cameras was the addition of a Hot-shoe while keeping the PC socket.
