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 them 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 set to “Auto,” ensures that the slow shutter is set automatically when the brightness drops. Effective only when the AE mode is set to “Full Auto.”

Set to “Slow Shutter Manual” at shipment.

ICR (IR Cut-Removable) Mode

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.

When the ICR Cut-Filter is ON, the image becomes black and white.

Basic Functions

Auto ICR Mode

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.

Note

When in Auto_ICR_OFF state and WB data is added (default), a malfunction may occur when the subjects largely consisting of blue and red colors are taken.
