Between the frames? Where did you hear this?
If you go to
http://www.klt.co.jp/Nikon/PPD/New_Products/F100/Product_Details/Features/Accessories/index.html
and look at "Dedicated Accessories" and the description of
the MF-29, it says the following:
"Data Back MF-29
Imprints selected date and time information
within the frame; your choice of
Year/Month/Day, Month/Day/Year,
Day/Hour/Minute -- or No Imprint.
Of course, it makes no mention of "Imprint on Frame #0"
which we've seen elsewhere... maybe because that is a body feature.
Does anyone have any reliable and complete info on the features
of the MF29?
As far as the F100's CF#18:
"#18:
Data imprint on frame #0
0: Canceled (default)
1: Activated
What *kind* of data -- does anyone know?
Thanks
Chris
