A compact single focal length autofocus Advanced Photo System camera with approximately the same dimensions as the IXY 310, launched one year earlier. The camera, weighing only 115 grams, was introduced at the time of its launch as the world’s lightest single focal length Advanced Photo System camera. The model features a stylish design and a sleek silver metallic finish. As do other models in the series, the camera offers a variety of the benefits made possible by the Advanced Photo System, including Information Exchange (IX), which records specific data on the film, using magnetic recording head about how each shot was taken for optimum print results, three print formats while shooting on the same roll of film, a date/title imprint feature, one-touch film loading, and five flash modes.
