Chinon's budget APS autofocus compact — 24mm f/4.5 lens, infrared AF, CR2 power, sold from 1996

The Chinon AP 600S was a budget autofocus compact for the Advanced Photo System, sold from around 1996 as APS film reached the market. It sat at the bottom of Chinon's late-period range alongside the near-identical AP300s, which shared the same body and instruction booklet but used fixed focus in place of the AP 600S's autofocus system.

The factory manual lists a 24mm f/4.5 glass lens with two-step infrared autofocus covering 0.8m to infinity, an electronic programmed shutter and automatic exposure. Film speed handling covered ISO 100 and 200 APS cartridges, with ISO 400 usable. Features included automatic and fill-in flash, a 10-second self-timer, continuous shooting, the standard APS H/P/C print-aspect selector and mid-roll rewind, all powered by a single CR2 lithium cell.

This is a light, very simple snapshot camera best suited to bright outdoor conditions, where the small fixed-aperture lens copes well. Contemporary users found results fairly sharp in good light but the flash weak for backlit or indoor scenes, so it suits casual experimentation with the APS format rather than regular shooting.

APS film was discontinued in 2011, so an AP 600S can only run expired cartridges, and many examples now sell as untested props or display pieces. Confirm the camera powers up on a fresh CR2, the flash charges and the cartridge door and counter behave; APS processing options are also now limited.
