The
Fuji Work Record OP, a tough, all-weather 35mm point-and-shoot camera built for harsh environments, released in 1993 alongside its sibling, the Work Record 28, is known for its sealed body (rain-resistant, not fully submersible), built‑in flash, and, over the Work Record 28, with optional panorama and date functions.
The camera, besides being fast with autofocus and an oversized viewfinder, uses DX-coded film rolls and features a 28mm f/3.5 6-element in 5 groups Fujinon lens behind thick protective glass, and pre-winds film to the end of the roll and winds back automatically as shots are executed.
The lettering 'OP' stands for 'Open Play,' which means that the camera is not only designed for construction sites or harsh conditions, but is also ideal for use as a recreational camera for street and travel photography, or shooting in rainy conditions.
The OP, which has blue buttons, also features a panorama mode (frame‑height crop with internal blinds) and a quartz date back, unlike the Work Record 28, with orange buttons, which has neither.
The OP can also be assigned to work with preset zone distances of 1, 1.5, 3 meters, and landscape (infinity focus) when shooting underwater or through glass, or when autofocus hunts. This setting will disable the auto flash function.

The Fuji Work Record OP is quite bulky with its body dimensions of 154 x 85 x 62.5mm and 436 grams body weight (without battery). It is powered by a pair of CR123 Lithium batteries and has a shutter speed range from 1/5 to 1/250 seconds.

Both the Work Record OP and the Work Record 28 were sold outside of Japan when they were initially launched. This makes it almost impossible to get any resources for the camera in other languages aside from what is available on Camera-wiki, a couple of videos on YouTube, and a post on the MF lenses forum.
