KODAK ADVANTIX
100, 200, and 400 Films
INTRODUCTION
Welcome to the innovative world of the Advanced Photo
System! KODAK ADVANTIX Films are the heart of this
new system—they capture your image photographically and
can store scene data (e.g., picture format) magnetically or
optically on the film.
ADVANTIX Films are provided in KODAK Film Safe
Cassettes that enable drop-in loading and feature double-
exposure protection. The cassettes include an indicator that
identifies the status of the film inside individual cassettes.
Negatives produced on these films will be returned to you
inside their original Film Safe Cassette for easy storage and
retrieval
THE
KODAK ADVANTIX SYSTEM
Components
The components of the KODAK ADVANTIX System—the
films, cameras, and photofinishing equipment—were
designed “from the ground up,” to provide you with great
pictures. You can use ADVANTIX Films in any camera
designed for the Advanced Photo System to get the pictures
you want—the way you want them.
