IX 240 Focal-Plane Shutter SLR Camera
Marketed March 1998

EOS IX Lite was developed as the introductory model for IX 240 single-lens reflex camera, integrating the excellent basic features of New EOS Kiss and the advanced functions of IX 240. Its volume is reduced by 5% compared to New EOS Kiss and it weighs as light as 360 g. It can be used with EF lens and accessories. It also inherits wide-angle three focusing-points, 6-zone evaluative metering and E-TTL. It also comes with a number of magnetic IX functions, e.g. Mid-Roll Change (MRC), PQI function to record 9 types of shooting information on the film and improve the print quality, 100 types of caption in 12 languages, specification of the number of prints and printing of all the frames under identical conditions (FTPM). This model pursues the simple and easy operability by single-operation film loading, the function to prevent the film cover to open during the shooting and providing the operation buttons for setting magnetic IX functions on the back of the camera (IX position) intensively. EF22-55mm f/4.5-5.6 USM and EF55-200mm f/4.5-5.6USM, the light-weight compact lens, are to be marketed simultaneously for replacement.
