• FCB-EX48C/P, FCB-EX-48C/P, FCB-IX47C/P, FCB-IX45C/P = FCB-EX48E/P

Exclusive to the new Sony FCB E ver. Series cameras are the following functions:

• 3D Noise Reduction
• New 28x zoom lens
• “True” Progressive Scan.
• Temperature read out
• Color enhancement

Upgrades to previous models include:

• Increased Horizontal Resolution (D version: 530 TV lines, versus the FCB E ver.  Series are 550 TV lines).
• The Auto Wide-D mode is now available in both the Interlace and Progressive Scan modes.   
• The Image Stabilization encompasses a new method using digital zoom.  When a CCD image is written into the memory, it is trimmed, and the gyro sensor determines its readout position.  Enlargement of the image is by digital zoom in response to screen size and then the image is output.
• Stable Zoom is achieved with the first activation of the digital zoom at 1.2x, bringing the camera into the Image Stabilization mode.
• White Balance upgrades feature the Outdoor Auto and Sodium Vapor Lamp modes.  The Sodium Vapor Lamp Mode (SVLM) is useful when shooting under sodium vapor street lamps, where, because of the lamp source, pictures tends to be yellowish.  With the new FCB E ver. Series mode SVLM, the camera properly takes in white.
• The Operating Temperature now has an extension of range from minus 5 degrees centigrade to 60 degrees centigrade.

The new 28x zoom lens, developed exclusively for the FCB E ver. Series, replaces the current 26x zoom lens, and is brighter (F1.35), faster (at a high-speed zoom of 2.5 seconds (target), and with a highly durable focus motor.
