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.
