ACCESSORIES
Creative Expansion Cards
The Creative Expansion Card system provides a
unique way to expand the 8000i's capabilities to
meet specific needs.
Although illustrations in the manuals for
some of the cards show a different camera
body, card operation with the 8000i is correct
as described.
Multiple Exposure Card
— Designed exclu¬
sively for the Maxxum 8000i, this card allows
you to make up to nine exposures on the same
frame.
Besides its standard mode, in which each ex¬
posure in the sequence is made at the "normal"
exposure value, the card offers "Fade-in" and
"Fade-out" modes that produce a series of grad¬
ed exposure changes from the normal value.
