Important Information for Advanced Photo System
Camera Owners
The Advanced Photo System includes many possibilities for
photography which are not yet available on current photofinishing
equipment, even at certified Advanced Photo System
Photofinishers. Feature availability will increase as the system
moves forward and processing equipment is updated or modified.
The Vectis S-1 is already equipped with a number of these
functions. We recommend you ask your photofinisher for a list of
available services when having your Advanced Photo System film
developed.
Functions include; Print Quantity Selection
Front Imprinting
Fixed Time Printing Mode (FTPM)
Photo Data Recording
