What is APS film?

APS is the abbreviation of Advenced Photo System, which is called advanced photography system. This new photographic system was jointly developed by five major manufacturers, including Kodak, Fuji fujifilm, Canon Canon, Nikon and Minolta. This is also the great unity of photography, and the determination to win is quite obvious. Including from film camera to printing, and this system is some changes and improvements for the existing photography system. In essence and concept, the basic soil is extended from the past photography system; Forward-looking is to become a bridge between digital images and Fortis mechanical images. And APS is easy to use. More people are allowed to take more photos, which is why this new system has attracted so much attention from the photography industry. Simply put, the biggest difference between APS system and traditional film is that there will be track area and optical code on the film, which is used to store light and subject in the form of data, including some photographic data and scene distance, shooting date and time, etc. When the film is developed, the data will be sent to the printer, and the quality will be more stable. It also shows the possibility of digital communication. The benefits of APS are endless. In view of the problems and inconveniences that ordinary users often encounter at present, APS system puts forward solutions. Manufacturers believe that in fact, many consumers are not good at loading negatives, and there will be mistakes in pulling out the film head, and they will not be able to grasp the use situation after loading; In addition, the washed traditional film is put in a plastic sleeve, which is not easy to store; Moreover, it is not easy to choose the negatives you want to add or the negatives have similar scenery in the future. APS film is smaller, smaller and lighter, and the camera is thinner and shorter. This breakthrough actually helps to expand the use of cameras. The film has no opening credits. As long as the camera box is loaded like a battery (called direct loading), there will be no loading error. Moreover, the film box will also show the film situation, so that you can know immediately whether this roll of film is new or has been developed. After developing, there are catalog photos to provide retrieval management, so it is easy to choose which films to develop. Catalogue photos and film boxes are easy to collect, and information can be printed directly on the back of the photos, including the time and place of the theme spoon. This system does have its advantages in image management. APS can develop three kinds of photos. In the camera's viewing window, you can choose three sizes: traditional specifications, 16 to 9 wide angle, ultra wide angle; With the increase of selectivity, the fun of picture frame in photography also increases. At present, high-sensitivity films, including 200-degree and 400-degree films, are the main force, which is also the general trend of films in the future. Generally speaking, APS cameras are more expensive than fool cameras. Kodak and Fuji are the two brands with the most camera products. Of course, the simplest entry model should be a fixed-focus fool camera, equipped with a telescopic lens, automatic metering, flash and so on. And gradually move towards advanced mode. Recently, Canon Canon has also introduced five APS cameras, one of which, the APS monocular camera EOS-IX, can be installed on the EF series lens used by EOS series 135 cameras; This model also has some features of EOS, such as function dial and flash partition metering mode. From this, we can see the possibility of switching between APS and the traditional 135, and get rid of the concept that APS camera is just a new type of stupid camera. In terms of printing system, the two major manufacturers want to continue to expand and make it more convenient for users to use. At present, the two leading companies have so-called printing centers in North, Central and South. Users can check whether the general print shop has delivery service, which usually takes two or three days. Now they have begun to implement the service of local delivery and one-day delivery in the printing center. Plus Fuji and Kodak systems, there are more than 300 such print shops that can provide articles. If we can overcome the current poor printing, consumers will be more willing to use this new system.
