- Other Notes: At the same time the XG-SE was launched, possibly for the European market, and very similar, if not identically specified as the XG9. The camera also now came with a user-removeable back to take the new Data Back G, a device that permitted the date or a frame number to be recorded on the film through the use of LEDs. The camera also accepts the later Quartz Data Back G, that records either the time / date (in any of three combinations), code number (up to 999999) or sequential frame numbers of the film.
