The Advantix T700 is a compact camera with an auto-focus 2x zoom lens, for the APS film system. The camera is described as 'weatherproof'[1] It was made by Kodak from 1999.[2] The camera has a flash built into a flip-up lens-cover, similar to that on the 1999 (non-zoom) Advantix T550. The T700 has considerably better features than that model, including its zoom lens, red-eye reduction, continuous shooting, and the ability to change the film mid-roll. This ingenious feature makes use of the small amount of magnetic memory included in the APS film cartridge (magnetic media coated in a strip on the back of the film). Data is stored as each frame is exposed, and when a part-used cartridge is reloaded, the camera automatically advances to the first unused frame. The user's manual suggests that family members might share a camera, each keeping their own roll of film. Like the T500 and T550, the T700 has date- and title-imprinting. Again, this feature uses the film's magnetic storage, not optical imprinting on the negative; the date and title associated with each frame could be used or not used whenever a print was ordered, and some photo-finishers offered options such as printing this information on the back of the print instead of the front. The earlier cameras had a menu of just ten titles; the T700 offers forty.
