Advantages of the Advanced Photo System
New print formats…
Classic C print, wider H print, and panorama P print
formats are available with Advanced Photo System
cameras.
Easier to load…
Advanced Photo System cameras use the new IX240 type film. This new film
features drop-in-loading to make loading your camera simple, the first time, every
time. Indicators on the cassette tell you and your camera if the film is unexposed,
partially exposed, exposed, or processed.
New processing…
In addition to returning your prints in the format
you selected, certified photofinishers will return
your Advanced Photo System film in its original
cassette with an index print. To order reprints,
simply choose the images you want from the
index print. No more searching through negatives
to find the right frame.
