Exposure Compensation

Exposure compensation is a function which offsets the internal reference brightness level used in the AE mode by steps of 1.5 dB.

Aperture Control

Aperture control is a function which adjusts the enhancement of the edges of objects in the picture. There are 16 levels of adjustment, starting from “no enhancement.” When shooting text, this control may help by making the text sharper.

Back Light Compensation

When the background of the subject is too bright, or when the subject is too dark due to shooting in the AE mode, back light compensation will make the subject appear clearer.

Slow Shutter – Auto/Manual

When the Slow Shutter is set to “Auto,” this ensures that the slow shutter is engaged automatically when the brightness drops. This occurs only when the AE mode is set to “Full Auto.”

“Slow Shutter Manual” is the factory setting.

ICR (IR Cut-Removable) Mode (FCB-EX480C/EX480CP only)

An infrared (IR) Cut-Filter can be disengaged from the image path for increased sensitivity in low light environments. The ICR will automatically engage depending on the ambient light, allowing the camera to be effective in day/night environments. (FCB- EX480C/EX480CP only)

Basic Functions

Auto ICR Mode (FCB-EX480C/EX480CP only)

Auto ICR Mode automatically switches the settings needed for attaching or removing the IR Cut Filter. With a set level of darkness, the IR Cut Filter is automatically disabled (ICR ON), and the infrared sensitivity is increased. With a set level of brightness, the IR Cut Filter is automatically enabled (ICR OFF). Also on systems equipped with an IR light, the internal data of the camera is used to make the proper decisions to avoid malfunctions.
