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)

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.
