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.
__________At the beginning of the APS era, there were initially compact cameras, followed by a new family of cameras called 'bridges.' In simplified terms, these are fixed-lens reflex cameras. They come with zoom lenses of significant range but are less luminous than those of interchangeable lens reflex cameras.
They also feature a built-in flash, like most new reflex cameras of the same period.
The Fujifilm closely resembles equivalent models from Olympus, which is entirely normal, as it is the result of collaboration between Olympus and Fujifilm in the development of this type of camera.
The Fotonex 4000 ix SL is very compact and lightweight. Its zoom is equivalent to a 30-120 mm lens in 24 x 36 format.
On this model, it is possible to choose a message that will be printed on the back of the photo during development. There are 30 options available in 13 languages. Unfortunately, only a code corresponding to each message is displayed on the LCD screen, and not the message itself, requiring reference to the manual for each use (e.g., Christmas, birthday, I love you, thank you, festival, meeting, happy new year, memory, etc.).
