The '''Kodak Instamatic X-45''' is a camera for Kodapak type No. [[126 film|126 film cartridges]]. It was made by [[Kodak]] in the USA and introduced into the [[Instamatic|Instamatic range]] in July 1970. As a film advance mechanism it has a wind-up clockwork motor. This has to be turned two or three times; then a handful of exposures can be made until the mechanics need a new wind-up. The camera has a unique [[CdS|CdS-meter]] controlled aperture mechanism: It finds the right aperture by moving a set of different apertures over the CdS-sensor window. When the electronics recognizes sufficient light on the sensor, the right aperture is also set behind the camera lens (see also link to merrillphoto.com). | The '''Kodak Instamatic X-45''' is a camera for Kodapak type No. [[126 film|126 film cartridges]].

The Kodak Instamatic X-45 is a camera for Kodapak type No. 126 film cartridges. It was made by Kodak in the USA and introduced into the Instamatic range in July 1970. As a film advance mechanism it has a wind-up clockwork motor. This has to be turned two or three times; then a handful of exposures can be made until the mechanics need a new wind-up.
