and a minimum illumination of 1.0 
lx – expanding their vast application 
appeal. The FCB-IX11A/IX11AP colour 
cameras incorporate a 1/4-type EXview 
HAD™ CCD and feature a 40x zoom 
ratio (10x optical, 4x digital) into their 
ultra-compact and lightweight body,

Features
  Unique Algorithms for Lens-Life 
Extension
• Autofocus (AF) Algorithm.  
This unique algorithm makes the block 
camera ideal for security applications, 
in which 24/7 continuous usage is 
common.  This technology controls the 
unit’s autofocus function to provide 
extended lens life and steady image 
quality.
• SMART (Sony Modular Automatic lens 
Reset Technology) Lens Control* 
Automatically compensates for 
mechanical misalignment of the lens, 
which may occur over a long period of 
continuous usage.
