zoom lens, and a wide focus frame. The sleek and compact design gives the
Vectis 2000 a sophisticated appearance suitable for any occasion. This
manual is designed to help you understand the operation of your camera and

Advantages of the Advanced Photo System
New print formats…
Classic C print, wider H print, and panorama P print formats are available with
Advanced Photo System cameras.
New processing…
In addition to returning your prints in the format you
selected, certified photofinishers will return your
Advanced Photo System film in its original cassette
with an index print. To order reprints, simply choose
the images you want from the index print. No more
searching through negatives to find the right frame.
Easier to load…
Advanced Photo System cameras use the
new IX240 type film. This new film
features Drop-in Loading to make loading
your camera simple, the first time, every
time. Indicators on the cassette tell you
and your camera if the film is unexposed,
partially exposed, exposed, or processed.
