Camera control for unmanned operation*lnterval        shooting in any time segment from 1 second to
 99 hours/59 minutes/59 seconds when used with the
 Motor Drive 1 or Autowinder G.
   With the Auto Electroflash 2B0PX and Power Grip 2
   combined with the Motor Drive 1 or Auto Winder G
    interval flash photography  is feasible. The Multi-
   Function Back automatically turns the flash unit power
   supply on and off, even allowing a 6O-second warm-
   up time. There are unlimited uses for this mode,
    particularly  in close-up photography. The number of
   frames used in unmanned interval photography can
   also be pre selected.
*Long      exposure control of up to several hours is possible.
*lnterval, number of frames and long exposure modes
 can be used in combination,*lmprinting         and camera control functions can be used
