		The Data Memory Back 90 is
			an interchangeable camera back designed for exclusive use with the T90, and can memorize
			up to 16 types of exposure control data automatically. The Data Memory Back 90 has
			two modes; the standard mode for storing all 16 types of data and the reduced mode
			for storing the 6 types of data. 
			Primary data stored can be checked on the Data Memory Back's LCD monitor panel. In
			addition like the Command Back 90, the Data Memory Back 90 can also imprint several
			data automatically. | 
		
			
DATA FUNCTION 
			 
			1. Printing of the auto date up through the year 2099. (automatic compensation for
			leap years and long and short months) 
			 
			2. Printing of the Day/Hour/Minute in a 24 hour format. 
			 
			3. Printing of a frame counter number. (4-digit number)

		DATA FUNCTION 
			1. Printing of the auto date up through the year 2029. (automatic compensation for
			leap years and long and short months) 
			2. Printing of the Day/Hour/Minute in a 24 hour format. 
			3. Printing of an arbitrary 6-digit number plus the letters A through F. 
			4. Printing of a frame counter number up to 4 digits. 
			 
			TIMER FUNCTION 
			1. Self-timer (the shutter is released after a 
			fixed period of time). 
			2. Interval timer (the shutter is released at 
			fixed intervals). 
			3. Long release timer (the shutter is released and held open for a fixed period of
			time when the T90 is set to "buLb"). 
			4. Frame counter setting (the camera stops automatically after the set number~of
			exposures has been made). 
			ï The timer settings can be set to any value from one second to 23 hours, 59 minutes,
			59 seconds. 
			ï It is possible to use both the data and 
			timer functions at the same time. 
			ï It is possible to program the camera completely by combining modes 1 - 4 in the
			timer function. | 
	
	
		The Command Back 90 is an
			interchangeable camera back designed for exclusive use with the T90. As the name
			"Command" suggests, it not only records data but also controls the T90
			for various types of timed photography. 
			The following operations are possible using the quartz controlled Command Back 90: | 
	
	
	
	
	Macro Ring
	ML-2
	
	
	
		  | 
		
			
The Macro Ring Lite ML-2
			is an automatic flash unit for close-up shooting. Since it adopts the TTL control
			system considered the most effective method for close-up shooting, there is no need
			of troublesome exposure compensations. Separate flash tubes are arranged on the right
			and left sides, which can be fired together or independently for extra lighting versatility.
			The guide number is 11 (ISO 100.m).

	Wireless Controller LC-2
	
	
	
		  | 
		
			
This accessory is a remote
			control photography device which uses infrared rays to control the camera from a
			distance and is particularly useful in such areas as wildlife photography and news
			coverage. The Wireless Controller LC-2 consists of a transmitter and a receiver and
			has three modes; the standard mode, the delay mode and the auto sensing mode (activates
			when an object blocks the light path between the transmitter and the receiver).

Ten eyesight correction lenses
			are available in powers of +3, +2, +1.5, +1, +0.5, o,, - 0.5, ó2, - 3 andó4 diopters..
			They may make viewing and focusing easier if you are near or farsighted. Choose the
			one which is closest to your eyeglass prescription, and make a practical test if
			possible.

	Guide
	
	
	
		  | 
		This accessory is a special
			stabilizer which is necessary when the T90 is used with the Camera Holder F4, the
			Focusing Rail, or the camera support bracket of the Speedlites 577G and 533G. Slide
			the Positioning Guide 90 to attach it. 
			
			
				
					| The Positioning Guide 90
						comes with the attachment screw. When the Camera Holder F4 or the | camera support
						bracket of the Speedlites 577G and 533G is used with the T90, use the attachment
						screw provided with the Positioning Guide 90. When the Focusing Rail is used, however,
						use the one provided with the Focusing Rail. |

	Close-up/ Macrophotography
	Accessories
	
	
	
		  | 
		
			
Accessories such as the Auto
			Bellows, Copy Stand 5 and various extension tubes are designed for everything from
			simple close-up photography to life-size and magnified macro photography. 
			 
			ï Cable Release Adapter T3 
			This is an accessory for use with the Double Cable Release when using the Auto Bellows.
			It is possible to use this adapter with the Release 30 or 50.			 
		 | 
	
	
	
	Remote Swith 60T3
	
	
	
		  | 
		
			
The Remote Switch 60T3 is
			designed to be used when the camera is mounted on a tripod for close-up shooting
			or when using a telephoto lens with which camera-shake is a particular problem. Attach
			directly to the camera's remote control socket.			 
		 | 
	
	
	
	Lens Hood
	
	
	
		  | 
		
			
We strongly recommend the
			use of a lens hood to keep out side light which may cause flare and ghost images
			to form on the image. Rigid Canon hoods also help to protect the lens from shock.
			Use only a hood which is specified for your particular lens. Most Canon hoods fit
			into the bayonet mount and are fixed by turning. For details please see the lens
			instruction manual.
