Chronology of cameras Fujifilm 

The APS system was developed jointly by 5 major leaders in the photography market, including Fujifilm. The first cameras using the new cartridge appeared in catalogs in 1996. The new technology did not have a long lifespan, but numerous models were introduced.

The Fotonex models were replaced by the Nexia in 2000.

Cameras equipped with the ix function have magnetic heads. On the back of the APS film is a transparent magnetic strip on which the magnetic heads can record various information, depending on their level of sophistication. This information can include framing, date and time of the shot, a caption, etc. Some cameras have a reading head capable of reading this strip and, for example, reacting in the event of a film change during shooting (MRC Mid-Roll-Change). Upon reinserting the cartridge, the film will automatically reposition itself where it was before being removed from the camera. One of the most interesting features of this ix function is the PQI (Print Quality Improvement) system. At the time of shooting, the camera records the parameters of the shot. The printer, in the lab, will take advantage of this information to optimize the result.

The Fotonex 20 Auto stands out from the Fotonex 10 and Fotonex 15 with the addition of the Fill-in function, allowing the use of flash to fill in shadows, especially in backlit situations. From the year 2000 onward, it was renamed Nexia 20.
