ADVANCED PHOT O SYSTEM
FEATURES A VAILABLE
WITH THIS CAMERA

Triple format selection

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

2

Date and time imprinting

• You can choose to have date
and time information 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. Your camera reads the
Film Status Indicator (FSI) on
the film cassette to prevent
re-exposure.

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, to
provide you with the best
possible results.

Safety-interlock film door

• The safety interlock on the film
door prevents the door from
opening before the film is
completely rewound.

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 photofinishing
service 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.

by framing it with a tree
branch, a window, or even the
rails of a fence.

• Keep the sun behind you to
provide the best subject
illumination.
