I don't know if they still do it but when I was growing up, portrait photographers used to say "look at the birdie and smile."

Anyway, here is the film camera I used in the 1980s and 90s: the Pentax ZX-50. It's still floating around the house somewhere but the battery contacts have corroded due to battery acid leakage.
