ADVANCED PHOTO SYSTEM
FEATURES AVAILABLE 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 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. Your 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.

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