APS was 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.

Concurrently to their APS SLR film cameras, some manufacturers released lenses intended for use on APS film cameras-such as the Canon EF 22-55mm-which had a wider field of view to account for the relative-to-35mm crop factor.

* 1996: The Minolta Vectis camera is a completely new SLR system designed around the Advanced Photo System ( APS ) film format.

APS was developed by several of the major film manufacturers to provide a film with different formats and computerized options available, though APS panoramas were created using a mask in panorama-capable cameras, far less desirable than a true panoramic camera, which achieves its effect through a wider film format.

This technique produced a panorama negative almost three times larger than traditional masking and over five times larger than that of APS cameras.

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 depending on the camera.

In reference to digital cameras, APS may also mean active pixel sensor, a type of CMOS image sensor.

These developments, combined with the fact that auto-loading 35mm cameras could be made almost as compact, as convenient, and as inexpensive as APS-format cameras, prevented APS from attaining greater popularity.

APS cameras were mostly produced in compact fully automatic form for the consumer point and shoot camera market.

As of 2009, new APS cameras are rarely seen for sale.

Internally, the cameras use a 135 film or an APS cartridge.

Photo-finishers and manufacturers of Advanced Photo System ( APS ) cameras use the word " panoramic " to define any print format with a wide aspect ratio, not necessarily photos that encompass a large field of view.

It is a line of ultracompact cameras, originally based on the design of Canon's IXUS / IXY / ELPH line of APS cameras.

** CMOS APS commonly used in cell phone cameras, web cameras, and some DSLRs.

Truprint still process & develop 35mm and APS films ( including digital photo prints ) as well as disposable cameras.

All ELPH cameras used the Advanced Photo System ( APS ) film format and were known for being very compact and stylish.

The Vectis V-lenses used by these models are not compatible with any other lens mount, including Minolta's 35mm AF Dynax / Maxxum / Alpha and the SR / MC / MD-lens-system, and are difficult to adapt to modern cameras to focus normally as the Flange focal distance of the V-mount APS system is only 38mm.

Unlike later competing formats, such as disc and APS film, processed 110 negatives were returned in strips, without the original cartridge.

The Sapporo APS classification criteria ( 1998, published in 1999 ) were replaced by the Sydney criteria in 2006.

Many members of the Society of the Cincinnati were among the APS ' first board members and contributors ; today the APS and SOC still maintain an informal, collegial relationship.

In 1985, APS auto parts, Kayser-Roth clothing and Simmons Bedding were sold to the Wickes Companies.

His published views on race were discordant with the Quaker and APS tradition in the ESL.

At their destination the negatives were printed on photographic paper and delivered as airgraph letters through the normal Royal Engineers ( Postal Section ), also known as the Army Postal Services ( APS ), or systems.

Kodak had offices in Cairo that were capable of processing airgraph negatives, but it was not until the appropriate equipment arrived from America that their Cairo office that the APS was able to provide a return service to the UK.

The predecessors of APS ( known as Stud contact systems ) were developed around 1900, and used by several tramway companies in Paris and in England.

There were two main differences from APS:

Other licensees were Motorola, Radius, APS Technologies, DayStar Digital, UMAX, MaxxBoxx, and Tatung.

Appointed prefects were replaced in 1970 by an elected School Committee to represent the student body, the publication of a student newsletter Demos — containing editorials on aspects of the school — was allowed, religious education classes were made voluntary for senior year levels, the position of school chaplain was abolished, and Caulfield was the only APS school to allow its students to participate in moratorium marches protesting the Vietnam War on 8 May 1970.

Close Personal Protection ( CPP ), or bodyguard, functions were never provided by the APS ; where this has been a Commonwealth responsibility, the function is provided by the AFP.

The staff and functions of the APS were reintegrated into the AFP in 2004 as part of Australian Government efforts to better coordinate the response to terrorism.

Further, temperature measurement capabilities of APS sensor coatings were demonstrated beyond 1400 ºC.

APS film can be more expensive to buy and process than 35 mm film, and fewer labs are capable of processing it.

Sources suggest that APS adds about € 100, 000 to the cost of the trams, whilst the infrastructure is about 300 % more expensive than overhead wires.

The Stechkin APS made a comeback in the late 1970s, when Russian Spetsnaz special forces units in Afghanistan used suppressor-equipped machine pistols for clandestine missions in enemy territory, such as during the Soviet war in Afghanistan.

During the 1990s, the Russian Stechkin APS was once again put into service, as a weapon for VIP bodyguards and for anti-terrorist hostage rescue teams that needed the capability for full automatic fire in emergencies.

Some of these lenses have survived and are now marketed towards use on " APS " digital SLRs for the same reason.

DX ( Digital indeX ) encoding is an ANSI and I3A standard, originally introduced by Kodak in March 1983, for marking 135 and APS photographic film and film cartridges.

: Because the complexity of the climate makes accurate prediction difficult, the APS urges an enhanced effort to understand the effects of human activity on the Earth ’ s climate, and to provide the technological options for meeting the climate challenge in the near and longer terms.
