Triple Format Selection
- Three print formats are available with this
camera: H Print , C Print, and P Print. The
viewfinder frame changes to match each
format selection.
Date and Title Imprinting
- Before taking the picture, you can
choose to have date information printed on
the front and/or one of three preselected
titles printed on the back of your prints.
MRC - Mid Roll Change
- You can rewind the film in the middle of
the roll, then reload it at a later time.
When the film is reloaded, the camera will
automatically advance the film to the first
unexposed frame.
Print Quantity Selection
- You can choose how many prints you will
receive from the lab before taking the
picture.
Advanced Photo System features included in this camera:
DEP - Double Exposure Prevention
- You don’t need to worry about
accidentally reexposing your film. Your
camera reads the indicators on the film
cassette to prevent reexposure of
previously exposed film.
PQI - Print Quality Improvement
- Your camera records information about
lighting conditions and exposure on the
film to assist the lab with color correction
and exposure adjustments, providing you
with the best possible results.
