Function
The FC-Series cameras have additional features or functions which can be accessed using
an extra numeric function keypad. It is possible to create customized camera functions
through a "macro" interface which can be programmed through XML commands. Contact
FLIR Technical Support for information about the Nexus XML-Based Control Interfaces.
When the Function button is selected, the keypad changes to a numeric
keypad providing programmed functions (1 - 9). Select the back arrow to
return to the main keypad. Some specific cameras can have additional
functions (10 - 18). The forward arrow will access these.
Refer to the following table for definitions of the nine functions available to
FC-Series cameras. The video enhancing options in some cases may
improve the video image, at least temporarily. Over time or as the
environment changes, the scene could change and the resulting image
may no longer be optimal.

scenes, but it could also make the image somewhat more grainy or pixilated.
