MULTI-FUNCTION BACK
The quartz/microcomputer-controlled Multi-Function Back connects cord-
lessly to the X-700 in place of its regular back to perform a variety of camera-
control and data-imprinting functions. By simply pressing keys while viewing
its liquid-crystal display, you can set it for time-lapse photographs at a huge
range of intervals, automatically timed long exposures, and/or multi-frame
sequences. The quartz timer and auto calendar enable recording the time
accurate to the second, or the year/month/day in any of three orders. Or you
can set the imprinter to record any six-digit code number, to consecutively
number each frame, or for no imprinting. Manually controlled imprinting
before or after taking the picture is also possible, and data exposure can be
selected at any of six levels to match the sensitivity of the film in use.
