ADVANCED PHOTO SYSTEM

This camera supports the new Advanced Photo System. This system, as well as Canon’s advanced technology has made it possible to produce a camera that is smaller than any previous camera. Here are some of the special features of this system.

Q] New Film

The new 1X240 film comes in a compact fiim cartridge with no leader This new drop-in film can be easily loaded by anyone, and replaces all previous hard-to-load films. In addition, the visual exposure indicator on the top of the cartridge shows whether the film cartridge is unexposed, partial, exposed, or processed.

IH New Type Prints

The Advanced Photo System allows the camera to shoot three types of prints: in addition to classic print types (C print), you can now shoot wide-angie (H print) and panorama (P print) prints. The Advanced Photo System can aiso imprint date/time information on the back of the print, or on the front and back of the print. The system can aiso imprint titie text on the back of the print. 'Character size, shape, coior, position, and abiiity to print on

both sides may vary according to the individuai photo shop

[4] New Processing Methods

Previous 135 (35mm) film has always been refurned from the processing lab as negative strips. This has made ordering reprints inconvenient since each picture must be found on the negative strips. With the Advanced Photo System however, the negative film is returned from the certified shop reioaded in its cartridge, accompanied by an index print Unlike hard-to-see negative strips of previous cameras, this index print (where all shots can be viewed) makes reviewing prints much easier Users can now order reprints simply by matching the ID on the back of the print or on the index print with the ID on the film cartridge, and then specifying the print number to be reprinted at the photo shop
