Advanced Photo System (APS) is a <a href="Film_format" title="Film format">film format</a> for consumer still <a href="Photography" title="Photography">photography</a> first marketed in 1996 and discontinued in 2011. It was sold by various manufacturers under several brand names, including <a href="Eastman_Kodak" class="mw-redirect" title="Eastman Kodak">Eastman Kodak</a> (Advantix), <a href="FujiFilm" class="mw-redirect" title="FujiFilm">FujiFilm</a> (Nexia), <a href="Agfa-Gevaert" title="Agfa-Gevaert">Agfa</a> (Futura) and <a href="Konica" title="Konica">Konica</a> (Centuria). Development was led by Kodak starting in the mid-1980s.

Like prior attempts to displace <a href="135_film" title="135 film">135 film</a> from the amateur photography market, including <a href="126_film" title="126 film">126 film</a> (<a href="Instamatic" title="Instamatic">Instamatic</a>), <a href="110_film" title="110 film">110</a>, and <a href="Disc_film" title="Disc film">disc</a>, APS used a film cartridge to reduce loading errors. APS also could reduce camera and lens size and weight by using a smaller image format; unlike the older amateur formats, image quality would be maintained by using newly-developed films, featuring emulsions with finer grain size and a flatter base material. The other major innovation delivered by APS was the "information exchange" process in which the camera recorded data directly on the film; this would simplify cropping prints to a desired aspect ratio and potentially could provide photofinishers with exposure data to optimize print quality. However, by the time APS was released in 1996, the first <a href="Digital_camera" title="Digital camera">digital cameras</a> had appeared, providing many of the same benefits with the additional convenience and economy of eliminating the developing process.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="History">History</h2></div>

Kodak began developing "Project Orion" in the mid-1980s and solicited partners starting in the late 1980s.<a href="#cite_note-PMI-98-1">[1]</a> In 1991, Canon, Fujifilm, Kodak, Minolta, and Nikon formed a consortium to complete the new photographic system,<a href="#cite_note-Kodak-About-2">[2]</a> and the alliance was publicly announced in 1992.<a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> Initial testing of APS film cartridges with 40-exposure rolls started in 1994; details about the magnetic-stripe information encoding<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a> and formats were provided later that year, although the prototype "Standard" frame size, at that time, was narrower than the final APS-C frame, with a 7:5 aspect ratio, 23.4×16.7 mm (0.92×0.66 in).<a href="#cite_note-PopPhoto-9410-5">[5]</a> APS was announced to the photofinishing market in October 1995 and officially launched at the <a href="Photo_Marketing_Association" title="Photo Marketing Association">Photo Marketing Association</a> show in Las Vegas in February 1996.<a href="#cite_note-Kodak-About-2">[2]</a> At that time, Kodak CEO <a href="George_M._C._Fisher" title="George M. C. Fisher">George M. C. Fisher</a> announced that US$500 million had been invested in the new system to date, and an equal expense would be required going forward.<a href="#cite_note-PMI-98-1">[1]</a>

The Advanced Photo System was an attempt at a major upgrade of photographic technology for amateurs, resulting in a new film cartridge to facilitate automation of film loading and rewinding;<a href="#cite_note-PopPhoto-9601-6">[6]</a> according to Kodak, <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1154941027">

Despite the potential benefits, APS never really caught on with professional photographers because of the significantly smaller film area (58% of <a href="135_film" title="135 film">135 film</a>) and narrow selection of film types. In controlled testing, <a href="Popular_Photography" title="Popular Photography">Popular Photography</a> found that prints from one new emulsion developed for APS were significantly sharper than an equivalently-sized prints using a legacy 135 film emulsion, despite having to enlarge the APS frame by a greater magnification ratio. However, the new emulsion also could be (and later was) used for 35 mm film, eliminating the advantage of the smaller format.<a href="#cite_note-10">[10]</a> Film selection also hindered adoption of APS.<a href="#cite_note-PopPhoto-9610-8">[8]</a>: 39 Initially, only <a href="Color_print_film" title="Color print film">color print film</a> was available, with a limited selection of film speeds.<a href="#cite_note-PopPhoto-9611-11">[11]</a> Color <a href="Reversal_film" title="Reversal film">slide film</a>, popular with professional photographers, proved unpopular in APS format and was soon discontinued, although <a href="Chromogenic" class="mw-redirect" title="Chromogenic">chromogenic</a> black-and-white IX240 film continued to be produced.

In January 2004, Kodak announced it was ceasing APS camera production.<a href="#cite_note-12">[12]</a>

Both Fuji and Kodak, the last two manufacturers of APS film, discontinued production in 2011.<a href="#cite_note-13">[13]</a><a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a>

The "C" and "P" formats are formed by cropping the 30.2 × 16.7 mm "High Definition" image, which uses the same 16:9 aspect ratio as <a href="High-definition_television" title="High-definition television">high-definition television</a>. The "C" format has the same 3:2 aspect ratio as a <a href="135_film" title="135 film">135 film</a> image. Most APS cameras (with the exception of some <a href="Disposable_camera" title="Disposable camera">disposable cameras</a>) can record all three formats.

The entire "H" frame is recorded on the film for each exposure, and information is recorded on the film to instruct the photofinsher to print the format selected by the photographer; an image recorded in one aspect ratio can be reprinted in another. In addition to the frame format, the information exchange (IX) standard included with APS identifies the film cartridge with a unique six-digit serial number. Some cameras can use IX to record additional <a href="Metadata" title="Metadata">metadata</a>, including exposure information, onto the film, either optically or magnetically.

The format selection is indicated on the film by a series of exposed squares alongside the image area (optical recording) or in a thin, transparent <a href="Magnetism" title="Magnetism">magnetic</a> coating (magnetic recording), 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 href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Updated_usage">Updated usage</h3></div>

Presently the format names APS-C and APS-H are most often used in reference to various makes of digital SLR that contain imaging sensors that have approximately the same <a href="Crop_factor" title="Crop factor">crop factor</a> as those formats, albeit with different actual dimensions, as APS-H digital sensors have a 3:2 aspect ratio, not the 16:9 aspect ratio of the APS-H film frame. Some of the lenses originally released with the APS SLRs 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 <a href="Active_pixel_sensor" class="mw-redirect" title="Active pixel sensor">active pixel sensor</a>, a type of <a href="CMOS" title="CMOS">CMOS</a> <a href="Image_sensor" title="Image sensor">image sensor</a>.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Film_and_cartridge">Film and cartridge</h3></div>

The film is on a <a href="Polyethylene_naphthalate" title="Polyethylene naphthalate">polyethylene naphthalate</a> (PEN) base,<a href="#cite_note-PopPhoto-9601-6">[6]</a> and is wound on a single spool, housed in a <a href="Plastic" title="Plastic">plastic</a> cartridge 39 mm (1.5 in) long. The PEN base is both thinner and lies flatter than traditional film base.<a href="#cite_note-PopPhoto-9611-11">[11]</a> In cross section, the cartridge resembles a <a href="Squircle" title="Squircle">squircle</a> with varying corner radii. The basic diameter across one diagonal is 21 mm, while the basic diameter across the opposite diagonal measures 30 mm, including the corner slot where the film exits.<a href="#cite_note-Kodak-About-2">[2]</a> The slot is protected by a lightproof door. It is available in 40, 25 and 15 exposure lengths.

The film includes a transparent magnetic coating over the entire rear surface; information is recorded on narrow tracks near the edge of the film.<a href="#cite_note-Kodak-FAQ-16">[16]</a> Each frame has four tracks: two below the frame, reserved for the camera, and two above the frame, reserved for the photofinishing equipment.<a href="#cite_note-Kodak-About-2">[2]</a> Some APS cameras use this coating to record exposure information via the IX system.

APS simplifies film handling by allowing the camera to wind the film automatically when loaded, and similarly by rewinding automatically after all the exposures have been taken; some cameras also can rewind partially exposed film cartridges, allowing them to be removed and used later. Numbered symbols (called 'visual indicators') on the cartridge end indicate the status of the film cartridge:<a href="#cite_note-Kodak-About-2">[2]</a>

<ol><li>Full circle: Unexposed</li>

<li>Half circle: Partly exposed</li>

<li>Cross sign: Fully exposed but not processed</li>

<li>Rectangle: Processed</li></ol>

Additionally, a tab on one end of the cartridge indicates that the cartridge has been processed. On the end opposite the visual indicators, a reflective bar code-like system is used to indicate precise film speed (at release, coded from ISO 25 to 1600), type (reversal or negative), and number of exposures; for simpler cameras, a mechanical notch indicates if the film speed is greater than or less than ISO 200.<a href="#cite_note-PopPhoto-9603-17">[17]</a>: 29

Kodak initially released its APS color print films under the Advantix brand, in ISO 100, 200, and 400 speeds;<a href="#cite_note-18">[18]</a> in July 1996, Kodak introduced ADVANTIX 200 Professional.<a href="#cite_note-Kodak-FAQ-16">[16]</a> By 2000, Kodak had introduced a monochrome print film.<a href="#cite_note-19">[19]</a>

In 1998, Fujifilm offered color print and slide film under the established Fujichrome (ISO 100) and Fujicolor brands (ISO 100, 200, and 400) along with a new "SmartFilm" brand;<a href="#cite_note-20">[20]</a> by 2002, Fujifilm had dropped the reversal film and was branding its APS color print film as Fujicolor Nexia, extending the range to ISO 800.<a href="#cite_note-21">[21]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Information_exchange_(IX)">Information exchange (IX)</h3></div>

A major distinction of APS film is the ability to record information other than the image. This <a href="Metadata" title="Metadata">metadata</a> information is most commonly used for print aspect ratio, but can also be used to record the date and time that the photograph was taken, store a caption, and record <a href="Exposure_(photography)" title="Exposure (photography)">exposure</a> data such as <a href="Shutter_speed" title="Shutter speed">shutter speed</a> and <a href="Aperture" title="Aperture">aperture</a> setting. This information can 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. The system was invented by four engineers at Kodak, who were awarded patents in 1992 and 1993 and who jointly were named the National Inventor of the Year in 1996.<a href="#cite_note-22">[22]</a>

Two methods for storing information on the film are employed: "magnetic IX" and "optical IX". Optical IX is employed by less expensive cameras and disposable cameras, and employs a light source to expose a small section of the film, outside of the image negative area. This method is limited to determining the print aspect ratio of the finished print.<a href="#cite_note-PopPhoto-9603-17">[17]</a>: 34

Magnetic IX is used in the more expensive cameras and allows for more information exchange. Most cameras with magnetic IX automatically record the exposure date and time on tracks in the magnetic layer, outside the visible area, 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.<a href="#cite_note-PopPhoto-9603-17">[17]</a>: 34 Kodak claimed that a 40-exposure roll could record more than 80 KB of data.<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> Magnetic IX reportedly 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, but Kodak's testing indicated magnetic deposits were not a concern.<a href="#cite_note-Kodak-FAQ-16">[16]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Processing">Processing</h3></div>

After the <a href="Film_developing" class="mw-redirect" title="Film developing">film developing</a> process, APS film is stored in the original cartridge, unlike 135 film. For identification, every cartridge is assigned a unique nine-digit cartridge identification (CID) code and the associated strip of APS film is assigned an identical filmstrip identification (FID) code; while the CID code has nine digits, the FID code has six human-readable digits and nine machine-readable digits.<a href="#cite_note-Kodak-About-2">[2]</a> The six-digit FID code is printed on the cartridge label, at both ends of the processed negative, and also is stored magnetically (as a nine-digit code) in the IX layer. This FID is usually printed on the index print as well as the back of every individual print.<a href="#cite_note-PopPhoto-9603-17">[17]</a>: 34 The CID/FID system was designed to be an additional convenience both for the photoprocessor, who can easily match each processed film strip and prints with its cartridge, and each cartridge to a particular customer's order, and for the consumer, who can easily locate the correct cartridge if reprints are desired.

To facilitate automatic processing of film, a unique <a href="DX_number" title="DX number">DX number</a> is assigned to the different types of film.

APS film is typically processed by using a small machine to transfer the exposed APS film from the original cartridge to a reloadable one, then re-attached to the original cartridge and rewound using another machine after processing. After support for APS was withdrawn in 2011, many film processors dispose of the APS cartridge and return the exposed film strip bare.

Of these the Canon EOS IX and the Nikon Pronea SLRs could use existing 35 mm SLR lenses with <a href="Canon_EF_mount" class="mw-redirect" title="Canon EF mount">Canon EF</a> and <a href="Nikon_F_mount" class="mw-redirect" title="Nikon F mount">Nikon F mount</a>, respectively, whereas Minolta opted to create a new lens mount which later was shared with the <a href="Minolta_Dim%C3%A2ge_RD_3000" class="mw-redirect" title="Minolta Dimâge RD 3000">Minolta Dimâge RD 3000</a>, an early digital SLR (DSLR). Using existing lenses meant the field of view was reduced by around 1.6×, 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 they had a smaller <a href="Image_circle" title="Image circle">image circle</a> to cover.

Concurrently with their APS SLR film cameras, Canon, Minolta, and Nikon released lenses specifically intended for use on APS film cameras; the APS-specific lenses have shorter focal lengths to compensate for the reduced image size. Canon's lenses, which included the <a href="Canon_EF_24-85mm_lens" title="Canon EF 24-85mm lens">EF 24-85mm</a>,<a href="#cite_note-55">[55]</a> <a href="Canon_EF_22-55mm_lens" title="Canon EF 22-55mm lens">EF 22-55mm</a>,<a href="#cite_note-56">[56]</a> and <a href="Canon_EF_55-200mm_lens" class="mw-redirect" title="Canon EF 55-200mm lens">EF 55-200mm</a> lenses,<a href="#cite_note-57">[57]</a> were fully functional with 35 mm EOS SLRs; at least one (24–85mm) was available in silver finish to match the EOS IX camera.<a href="#cite_note-EOS-IX-49">[49]</a>

Minolta released eight lenses for the Vectis V mount, with five zooms covering a range from 22 to 240 mm and three prime lenses at 17, 50 (macro), and 400 (<a href="Catadioptric" class="mw-redirect" title="Catadioptric">catadioptric</a>) mm focal lengths.<a href="#cite_note-58">[58]</a> An adapter was available to use 35 mm A-mount (Alpha / Dynax / Maxxum) lenses, with limited functionality.<a href="#cite_note-59">[59]</a>

To accompany the Pronea SLRs, Nikon released six <a href="Nikon_F-mount#IX-Nikkor_zooms" title="Nikon F-mount">IX-Nikkor zoom lenses</a>, all designed by Haruo Sato, which were lighter and had a smaller image circle, similar in concept to the later <a href="Nikon_DX" class="mw-redirect" title="Nikon DX">Nikon DX</a> format lenses released with the company's DSLRs, starting in 2004. The Nikon IX series of lenses were not compatible with the existing line of Nikon 35 mm SLRs; as they were designed with a smaller image circle and had a shorter back-focus, the rear elements, protruding into the body, would foul the mirror.<a href="#cite_note-Nikkor75-60">[60]</a> However, the Nikon Pronea cameras accepted lenses for Nikon 35 mm SLRs.<a href="#cite_note-PopPhoto-9904-46">[46]</a>: 88
