Enter a new era of photography with the advanced EOS IXEISA award for EOS IX
The European Imaging and Sound Association (EISA) has awarded Canon's EOS IX as "European APS Camera of the year 1997/1998".
EOS IX
The EOS IX combines all the advantages of the Advanced Photo System with all the qualities of the well established EOS system. The camera's electronic EF mount accepts a range of nearly 50 different lenses.
Accurate autofocusing
When you look through the viewfinder you see three small frames, these are the focusing points, the camera concentrates on the subject covered by the active focusing point. This means that the subject does not have to be in the centre of the frame to give a sharp image, leaving you free to concentrate on the composition of the picture.
AIM system
The Canon metering and focusing systems use Advanced Integrated Multipoint control. The principle is simple, the metering follows the focusing so that the main subject is always correctly exposed. If the subject is to the left of the frame, that is where the meter reading is taken.
Command Dial
With the Command Dial you have access to five programmed image control positions set to various camera functions to suit subjects such as portraits, landscapes, close ups, action and night scenes. You can also override the automatic ISO film speed setting and set the cameras built-in calendar and clock.
Built-in flash The EOS IX has a built-in retractable flash unit which pops up and fires automatically when the light is low. |
