Can photo (time and f-stop) info be recorded automatically?

The Maxxum 9 had a "data memory back" [1] that would save data to a SmartMedia card, and also (if memory serves) could write things to the inter-frame area on the film. Not sure exactly what it could write there, because I never used it myself (although I did get a good sales pitch from a Minolta rep once). I think it basically just put a "serial number" for each frame, and then if you wanted to see the settings used, you were supposed to download the data from the camera using a memory card and look at it with your PC. They also had a contraption for the Maxxum 7 [2] that provided similar data-download features, except that it actually attached to the camera via the *lens mount*. I don't think there was any accessory for inter-frame recording on that camera, though. (However, it could serialize film rolls, by stamping a number onto the leader, just before the first frame of the roll. But it couldn't do it between frames.) -Kadin. [1] A quick google tells me this was called the "DM-9" [2] The "DS-100" http://ca.konicaminolta.com/products...lr/acc/acc_oth era.html#g2 |

The Canon EOS 1v has a similar feature - they stamp a sequential film number
in the film lead, and it keeps in memory data for about 100 rolls, if my memory serves me correctly. And if you got a Windows95 program and a special cable, you could download the data to your computer. Cheers, N.F. |

The Pentax 645N and Pentax 645NII can print the frame number, exposure mode, shutter speed, aperture, exposure compensation, metering mode and focal length between the frames. -- Brian Reynolds | "But in the new approach, as you know, | the important thing is to understand http://www.panix.com/~reynolds/ | what you're doing rather than to get NAR# 54438 | the right answer." -- Tom Lehrer |
