With the Minolta Multi Function Back, which replaces the standard back of the X-700, the camera can be controlled in interval and long exposure mode, and various data can be imprinted in the image.





This function is becoming interesting for hybrid photographers, as the latest automatic correction tools in Photoshop can remove imprinted data, which was often laborious before. The imprint, e.g. date, remains on the negative for archiving purposes.




Here is a nostalgic overview of the variety of films from the 1980s. The camera controls can be set up individually using these included stickers.
