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 55 AF is an entry-level camera but comes with red-eye reduction and a timer. It shares its user manual with the Fotonex 50 AF without any differences between the two models being mentioned.
