APS AND DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY
The advanced photo system was announced in 1995 as a breakthrough in photographic technology. Developed over five years by a consortium of film and camera manufacturers(Kodak,Sony, Nikon, Fuji, Canon, Minolta), the APS was designed to maximize the quality of images taken by amateur photographers, and to overcome some of the most common problems encountered.
The key to this new system is the "smart" film with its drop-in and automatic load cassette. The film contains a magnetic strip, which records information specific to each shot, such as lighting conditions, magnification, date and time, and communicates this data to the processing equipment in the minilab.
Once processed, the photographer receives a set of index prints, the photographs in any one of three different print sizes, and the developed film stored within the original cassette. APS film can be directly scanned and digitized, allowing the new system to bridge the gap between conventional 35mm film and digital photography.
