This camera was built in 1998 by Kyocera Corporation, Japan. 

It has a wide zoom range from 30 to 120mm. 

The shutter is electronic, with speeds from 3 sec. to 1/500 sec. 

Its design is derived from that of the bigger Yashica Samurai 35mm half-frame SLRs which both resemble camcorders of the 1990s. 

The 4000ix is a modern fully automatic compact camera that uses APS film.
