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 with
a 3x zoom lens.
Here are some of the special features of this system.
[II New Film
The 1X240 new nim comes in
a compact lilm carliidge with
no leader. Thb new drop-in
film can be easily loaded by
anyone, and replaces all
previous hard-lo-load lilms.
In addKion, the visual
exposure indicalor on the top
of the cartridge shows whether the Him cartridge Is
unexposed, panial, exposed, or processed.
[H Mid-roll Film Change
If a partially exposed lilm cartridge is reloeded in the
camera, the camera automatically advartcas the film to the
next unexposed frame. Ybu can Own continue taking pictures
until the lilm cartridge Is fully exposed. This allows you to use
separate film cartridges for ditlerent types of subjects, or
moods.
*11 a partially exposed tarn cartridge is loaded into in a
camera that does rwt support mid-nd film change, the
camera will sal the visual exposure indicator to ‘Exposed*
and wilt not load the film. Be sure lo check the features of
each camera.

Q] New Processing Methods
Previous 135 (35mm) film has always been returned 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 reloaded 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.
