Glossary > Panoramic Print Format  
Most APS, and some 35mm compact cameras have a Panoramic facility.
Contrary to what many people believe this does not fit any more into the picture, but simply crops the top and bottom of your negative to give a "letterbox" effect.
The pictures are then printed onto special sized paper, to give a "landscape" effect.
35mm users should make sure that they inform the lab that there are Panoramic photos on their film, otherwise thay will just get normal size prints with black bars at top and bottom!
