Autofocus and Viewfinder
The EOS IX features Canon's Multi-BASIS TTL phase detection autofocus system with three focusing points. The Japanese EOS IX E model added Canon's Eye Control focus point selection system; in both, the three focus points can also be selected between manually, or automatically by the camera. The selected focus point lights in the viewfinder. Other superimposed viewfinder features include masks for the three APS formats (C, H and P), while an LCD outside the image area displays other shooting information. The viewfinder incorporates a roof pentamirror of 0.6× magnification (with a 40 mm lens focussed on infinity) and 95% coverage.
