Canada

This roll of film was purchased at Henry's. Situated in downtown Ottawa (and a couple of suburban locations), Henry;s is a store specializing in photographic equipment. This type of film was used in Canada for a very short period of time with a Kodak Advantix camera.

Function

To record photographic images on film stock for the eventual production of colour prints.

Technical

Purchased a s a type sample. At the time of purchase the product was becoming obsolete due to popularity of digital photography. Kodak Advantix films are used in conjunction with ASP (Advanced Photo System) cameras. Designed for exposure with daylight or electronic flash. The 400 speed film proves useful when trying to photograph a subject in low light or in motion. It records 25 colour exposures. Advantix differed from other film formats in the sense that information other than the image could be recorded on the film's surface. Covered with a magnetic coating, the camera uses an information exchange system (IX) to record information about each exposure. Information such as print aspect ratio, date and time, shutter speed, aperture setting, and even captions could be embedded into the surface. What also makes Advantix different from standard films is that photographs could be taken in three different sizes: H or 'HDTV' (30.2 x 16.7 mm; aspect ratio 16:9; 4x7 inch print); C or 'Classic' (25.1 x 16.7 mm; aspect ratio 3:2; 4x6 inch print); P or 'Panoramic' (30.2 x 9.5 mm; aspect ratio 3:1; 4x12 inch print)
