Miranda's 1985 Dixons-era 35mm AF compact — 34mm f/4 lens, manual pop-up flash, rebadged Halina AF810.

The Miranda A-X was a fully automatic 35mm compact released in 1985 under the Miranda name, which by then belonged to British retailer Dixons rather than the defunct Japanese SLR maker. It is a badge-engineered version of Haking's Halina AF810, sharing that camera's chassis with black-and-red 1980s styling in place of the Halina's red panel.

It carries a 34mm f/4 lens with autofocus, assisted in low light by a red lamp beside the viewfinder, and programmed automatic exposure with no slow shutter speeds, so dim scenes underexpose rather than blur. The flash is raised manually by a button, with one lamp signalling when flash is needed and another when it is charged, and film advance is motorised. It runs on AA batteries.

Reviewers found the lens usefully sharp in the centre with pronounced vignetting wide open and a longish minimum focus of roughly a metre, giving results a gritty 1980s snapshot character. The manual-only flash suits shooters who dislike automatic flash, and it makes an affordable entry into vintage point-and-shoots.

Examples vary: some show the film-advance jamming known from the Halina-built chassis, so test a wind cycle. The battery-door catch is fragile and frequently broken or taped, the sliding lens cover should still fit snugly, and the flash should charge within several seconds. The camera will not fire at all without battery power.
