ADV ANCED PHOTO SYSTEM FEA TURES AV AILABLE WITH THIS CAMERA

Triple format selection

• Y ou can take three dif ferent size pictures: Classic (C), Group/HDTV (H), and Panoramic (P) pictures from the same film cassette. The viewfinder frame changes to match each format selection.

Date and time imprinting/titling

• You can choose to have date and time information printed on the back of your prints. With this camera, you can also choose a print title from the Title-Select

List and a language (see Setting the Language) before you take a picture.

You also have the option to choose an additional title for the entire roll of film. The selected titles will be printed on the back of your prints. See your photofinisher for a full description of available services.

Double exposure protection (DEP)

• You don’t need to worry about accidentally re-exposing your film. Y our camera reads

the Film Status Indicator (FSI) on the film cassette to prevent re-exposure.

Mid-roll change (MRC)

• You can change and remove film in the middle of the roll and reload it later to continue picture-taking. When you reload the film cassette into the camera, the magnetic Information Exchange (ix) technology of the camera will automatically rewind the film to the first unexposed frame. This feature allows you to switch to another film speed at mid roll to match scene requirements, e.g., the use of high-speed film for indoors verses low-speed film for outdoors. Also, you can dedicate individual film rolls to specific subjects or share the camera with the family while each member uses their own film cassette.

Picture quality information exchange (PQix)

• Your camera features magnetic information exchange that records information about lighting conditions and exposure on the film cassette to assist the photofinishing lab with color correction and exposure adjustments, providing you with the best possible results.

Look for this logo to be certain that the film you buy is made for this camera.

Look for this logo to select a certified photofinisher for developing your film and to assure that you get all the features of the Advanced Photo System.

Film status indicator (FSI)

A highlighted indicator advances from one symbol to another to identify the status of the film inside the cassette.
