Chapter 4 Adjustments and Settings for Recording — Flash band compensation (FBC) function
Flash band compensation (FBC) function
The camera is equipped with a function for compensating and reducing band-like interference (called "flash band") that occurs due to the MOS pickup
device when shooting in environments where flash strobe light such as that from still cameras is present.
Setting the flash band compensation function
Assign the flash band compensation function to the <USER> buttons (<USER MAIN>/<USER1>/<USER2>).
By pressing the <USER> buttons (<USER MAIN>/<USER1>/<USER2>) to which the flash band compensation function, the function turns on, and flash
strobe from a still camera, etc. can be detected and compensated.
For details, refer to "Assigning functions to <USER> buttons" (page 59).
When the flash band compensation function is enabled, FBC is displayed on the status screen.*
* This is not displayed when the [OTHER DISPLAY] item on the setting menu [DISPLAY SETUP] screen is set to [OFF].
NOTE
@
t When the flash strobe lights, the following phenomena may occur, but these are due to the flash band compensation function and are not
malfunctions:
- Moving subjects look as if they have stopped suddenly.
- The resolution when the flash strobe light drops.
- Horizontal lines appear in the video when the flash strobe lights.
Using the flash band compensation function
The flash band compensation function is activated when there are large changes in brightness at the bottom of the screen regardless of whether there
is flash strobe light. The flash band compensation function may be activated depending on the shooting environment such as where a bright window has
zoomed in and then out, so, we recommend use of this function in shooting environments where flash strobe lighting is anticipated.
Even if flash strobe lighting occurs, sufficient flash band compensation function effect may not be obtained in some shooting environments.
Operation conditions for the flash band compensation function
f The flash band compensation function can be used when the camera is in the 59.94i, 59.94P, 50i, or 50P mode, and the shutter switch is set to <OFF>
and the digital zoom function turns off.
f Even if the flash band compensation function is activated, the flash band compensation function is forcibly turned off if the camera is changed to the
mode where the flash band compensation function cannot be used.
To use the function again, return to the mode where the function can be used, and press the <USER> buttons (<USER MAIN>/<USER1>/<USER2>)
to turn on the flash band compensation function.
f Even if the flash band compensation function is activated, the flash band compensation function temporarily turns off when the shutter switch is set to
<ON>. The flash band compensation function returns to on when the shutter switch next changes to <OFF>.
f The flash band compensation function turns off once the power is turned off.
