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.

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.

APS SLR cameras were too expensive for the high-end amateur market when they first appeared, and professional photographers stuck with 35 mm cameras, which offered greater image quality and resolution.

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.

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.

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

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

* DX encoding, a standard for marking 35 mm and APS film cartridges so that cameras can determine the film's speed and number of exposures

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.

Advanced Photo System ( APS ) is a film format for still photography first produced in 1996.

Color slide film, popular with professional photographers, proved unpopular in APS format and was soon discontinued ( although chromogenic black-and-white IX240 film continued to be produced ).

It produced reports, but in the wake of the Niger expedition of 1841 some of its supporters believed a case made on science was being sidelined in the activities of the APS.

Alphanumeric Corporation ( later Autologic ) produced the APS series.

The APS Annual Convention is vital to the APS mission by promoting research and education across all areas of psychological science, and increasing public understanding, support, and use of the knowledge produced by psychological science.

It was produced for public television syndicator American Program Service ( APS ) ( now American Public Television, Boston ) and was carried on many public television stations.

However, less than five years after the 1996 launch of APS, the compact autofocus digital camera became available at increasingly reasonable prices, and APS camera sales plummeted.

APS can be used to construct a compact, unified and geometrical formalism for both classical and quantum mechanics.

In addition, the Stechkin APS has an automatic fire mode, which is selected using the safety lever.

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.

The concept vehicle includes 2. 2-litre BLUETEC four-cylinder Diesel engine rated, 7G-TRONIC seven-speed automatic transmission, 4MATIC all-wheel drive, anticipatory PRE-SAFE safety concept and the Intelligent Light System ( ILS ), COMAND APS infotainment centre, a rear-seat entertainment system with two screens and THERMOTRONIC 3-zone automatic climate control, AGILITY CONTROL suspension.

The APS was adopted to develop in the mid-1970s, as Автомат Подводный Специальный АПС ( Avtomat Podvodnyy Spetsial ' nyy APS, Russian Automatic ( automatic carbine ) Underwater Special APS ).
