It was more user-friendly than one of those, however.{{book ref|legion3|5}} Stephen's version includes a simple dial to control the "time focus".{{book ref|legion3|2}} Both versions could be attached to a tripod.{{book ref|legion|6}}{{book ref|legion3|5}} |

The camera uses a special kind of flash bulb which allows it to do some form of pseudo-science and take images of scenes as they were in the past.{{book ref|legion|8}} It will take a picture into the past as if the camera was in the place it is in now.{{book ref|legion|4}} It produces photos on film in medium format, which must then be developed.{{book ref|legion|6}} The version that [[Stephen Leeds]] re-creates has been modified to use instant film.{{book ref|legion3|2}} |

To prove that the camera works, Razon took pictures of famous places and people during the past, such as [[Wikipedia: George Washington|George Washington]] and the [[Wikipedia: Lone Cypress|Lone Cypress]]. These results were further validated in a lab.{{book ref|legion|3}} Razon then stole the camera and took it to [[wikipedia: Jerusalem|Jerusalem]] to take a picture of [[wikipedia: Jesus|Jesus]].{{book ref|legion|4}}{{book ref|legion|6}} Shortly afterwards, the [[wikipedia:Abu Sayyaf|Abu Sayyaf]] captured the camera, along with Balubal himself. Balubal refused to repair the camera and was subsequently killed by the Abu Sayyaf. The escape of [[Monica]], also captured by the Abu Sayyaf, provoked a shooting match during which all of the terrorists are shot. One didn't die, however, and pulls the pin on a grenade, thus destroying the camera.{{book ref|legion|7}} However, Stephen, who had also been captured, was able to save the flash bulb.{{book ref|legion|8}} |

In order to re-create the camera, Stephen |
In order to re-create the camera, Stephen works with a new aspect he manifested just for this purpose, [[Arnaud]].{{book ref|legion|8}} Stephen spends many nights working on it, with Arnaud guiding his hands. By the time he went chasing after [[Sandra]], Stephen has a working model, although it can't go back very far before the photos begin to deteriorate in quality. Arnaud was unsure how Balubal got around this limitation.{{book ref|legion3|2}} Later that day, Stephen gave it to [[Barb]] to take photos of the fairgrounds going back half-hours earlier that day, revealing the presence of [[Kyle]] and [[Sandra]].{{book ref|legion3|5}} The camera is left in Stephen's limo while Stephen infiltrates [[Wode|Walters and Ostman Detention Enterprises]], and afterwards, Stephen used it to take a picture in which he (but no-one else) can see his aspects.{{book ref|legion3|14}} |
