Chapter 5 Shooting — Flash band compensation (FBC) function
- 120 -
Flash band compensation (FBC) function
This compensates for the phenomena of light and dark bands (flash bands) that horizontally divide images recorded in environments where there are
flashes from other cameras, and reduces their effect.
Flash band compensation function settings
You allocate the flash band compensation function to a USER button to use it.
For details, refer to “Assigning function to the USER buttons”. (l 47)
[FBC] is displayed on the camera image screen when the flash band compensation function is enabled.
When using the flash band compensation function
The flash band compensation function works whenever the brightness in the lower part of the screen changes greatly, irrespective of the presence of
flashes. For example, the flash band compensation function may operate under some recording environments, such as when zooming in or out on a
bright window. It is recommended to use the function in recording environments where flashes are anticipated.
Note that due to the recording environment, even when there are flashes, you may not get sufficient results from the flash band compensation function.
