Info about APS Films

Photography Board .Net

Advanced Photo System (APS) is a film format for still photography. Kodak calls it by the brand name "Advantix".

The film is 24 mm wide, and has three image formats:

• H for "High Definition" (30.2 x 16.7 mm; aspect ratio 16:9; 4x7" print)
• C for "Classic" (25.1 x 16.7 mm; aspect ratio 3:2; 4x6" print)
• P for "panoramic" (30.2 x 9.5 mm; aspect ratio 3:1; 4x12" print)

The "C" and "P" formats are formed by cropping. The full image is recorded on the film, and an image recorded in one aspect ratio can be reprinted in another. The "C" format has an equivalent aspect ratio to a 135 film image. Most APS cameras (with the exception of some disposable cameras) can record all three formats; the format selection is indicated on the film by a series of exposed squares alongside the image area or recorded on the magnetic coating (see below) depending on the camera. In the absence of an operator-specified format, the machine printing an APS roll will use these indicators to determine the output format of each print.

A major distinction of APS film was the ability to record information other than the image. This information exchange was most commonly used for print aspect ratio, but could also be used to record the date and time that the photograph was taken, store a caption, and record exposure data such as shutter speed and aperture setting. This information could be read by the photo printing equipment to determine the print aspect ratio, print information on the back (or, rarely, the front) of the photograph, or to improve print quality.

Two methods for storing information on the film were employed: "magnetic IX" and "optical IX." Optical IX was employed on less expensive cameras and disposable cameras, and employed a light source to expose a small section of the film, outside of the image negative area. This method was limited to determining the print aspect ratio of the finished print.

Magnetic IX was used in the more expensive cameras and allowed for a great deal more information exchange. Most cameras with magnetic IX automatically recorded the exposure date and time on the magnetic layer, with more advanced models allowing the user to specify a predetermined caption to be printed on the photo or record the exposure settings, as well as determine print aspect ratio. Magnetic IX caused some problems for photo processors, who found their magnetic reading heads had to be cleaned frequently, or that their equipment's ability to print this information was limited.

Cameras

The format was introduced in 1996 by Kodak, Fujifilm, Minolta, Nikon, Canon and others. APS is mainly used for point and shoot amateur cameras, although some SLR systems were also created: Canon EOS IX, Minolta Vectis, Nikon Pronea with Nikon IX lenses. Of these the Canon EOS IX and the Nikon Pronea could use the existing 35mm SLR lenses, whereas Minolta opted to create a new lens line-up later shared with an early digital SLR. Nikon developed the IX series of lens that were lighter and had a smaller field of view. Although the Nikon IX series of lenses were not compatble with the Nikon 35mm SLR, lenses for the Nikon 35mm SLR were compatible with the Nikon Pronea. Using existing lenses meant that the field of view was reduced by around 1.6x, but had the advantage of a larger lens selection. Creating a new lens system on the other hand gave the possibility of creating smaller and lighter lenses as that had a smaller image circle to cover. APS SLR cameras were too expensive for the high end amateur market when they first appeared, and professional photographers stuck with 35mm cameras, which offered greater image quality and resolution. Few APS film cameras are available new today.

Presently the terms APS-C and APS-H are most often used in reference to various makes of digital SLR that contain imaging sensors that are (very) roughly equivalent to their respective film dimensions given above. (See Nikon DX format) Concurrently to their APS SLR film cameras, some manufacturers released lenses intended for use on APS film cameras, in that they had a similar field of view to a given longer focal length lens on a 35mm camera. Some of these lenses have survived and are now marketed towards use on "APS" digital SLRs for the same reason. In reference to digital cameras, APS may also mean Active Pixel Sensor, a type of CMOS image sensor.
