Glossary

AdobeRGB

Color space recommended by Adobe Systems, Inc. for commercial printing. Wider range of color reproduction than sRGB. Covers most of the color range so colors only available when printed are not lost when editing images on a computer. When image is opened by non-compatible software, the colors look lighter.

AE Metering

Brightness of subject is measured to determine exposure. In this camera, select from [Multi-segment Metering], [Center-weighted Metering] and

[Spot Metering].

Aperture

The aperture increases or reduces the light beam (thickness) passing through the lens to the CCD.

Auto Bracket

For automatically changing the shooting conditions. When the shutter button is pressed, three images are shot. The first one has no compensation, the second is underexposed and the third is over-exposed.

Bright Portion

Overexposed area in the image loses contrast and appears white.

Camera Shake (Blur)

When the camera moves while the shutter is open, the entire image appears blurred. This occurs more often when shutter speed is low.

Prevent camera shake by raising the sensitivity, using the flash, and raising the shutter speed. Alternatively, use a tripod to stabilize the camera. As camera shakes are mostly likely to occur when pressing the shutter release button, use the Shake Reduction function, the self-timer, the remote control unit, and the cable switch to prevent camera movement.

CCD (Charge Coupled Devices)

Photography element which converts the light entering through the lens into electric signals that create the image.

203

Color space

A defined range of colors from the spectrum which are used. In digital cameras, [sRGB] is defined as the standard by Exif. In this camera,

[AdobeRGB] is also used because of the richer color expression over sRGB.

Color Temperature

This numerically expresses the color of the light source illuminating the subject. This is indicated in absolute temperature, using Kelvin (K) units.

The color of light shifts to a bluish color as the color temperature rises, and to a reddish color as the color temperature falls.

DCF (Design Rule for Camera File System)

A digital camera file system standard established by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA).

Depth of Field

Area of focus. This depends on the aperture, lens focal length, and distance to the subject. For example, select a smaller aperture to increase the depth of field or use a larger aperture to decrease the depth of field.

DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)

Rules for writing information onto a card with recorded images regarding the specific images and number of copies to be printed. Prints can easily be made by taking images to a DPOF photo printing store.

EV (Exposure Value)

Exposure value is determined by the combination of the aperture value and the shutter speed.

EV Compensation

Process of adjusting the image brightness by changing the shutter speed and aperture value.

Exif (Exchangeable image file format for digital still camera)

A standard digital camera file format established by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA).

204

Focus point

Position in the viewfinder that determines focus. In this camera, select from [Auto], [Select] and [Center].

Histogram

A graph that shows the darkest and brightest points in an image. The horizontal axis represents the brightness and the vertical axis represents the number of pixels. This is useful when you wish to refer to the exposure status of an image.

JPEG

An image compression method. The image is recorded in JPEG format when the quality level is set to

(Best),

(Better), or

(Good).

Images recorded in JPEG format are suited for viewing on your PC or for attaching to e-mail.

ND (Neutral Density) Filter

A filter with many saturation levels that adjusts the brightness without affecting the picture itself.

Noise Reduction

Process to reduce noise (image roughness or unevenness) caused by low shutter speed.

NTSC/PAL

These are video output formats. NTSC is mainly used in Japan, North

America, and South Korea. PAL is mainly used in Europe and in China.

Quality Level

This refers to the image compression ratio. The lower the compression, the more detailed the image. The image becomes rougher as the compression rate rises.

data

Unedited image data output from the CCD. RAW data is data before being internally processed by the camera. Camera settings at the time of capture, such as White Balance, Contrast, Saturation, Tone, Color Space,

Sensitivity and Sharpness can be set for each frame after shooting. In addition, RAW data is 12 bit data that contains 16 times the information of

8 bit JPEG and TIFF data. Rich gradations are possible. Transfer RAW data to your computer and use the provided software to create image data with different settings, such as JPEG or TIFF.

205

Recorded Pixels

Indicates the size of the image by the number of pixels. The more pixels that compose a picture, the larger the image size.

Sensitivity

The degree of light. With a high sensitivity, images can be shot with a high shutter speed even in dark places, reducing camera shake.

However, images with high sensitivity are more susceptible to noise.

Shutter Speed

The length of time that the shutter is open and light strikes the CCD. The amount of light that strikes the CCD can be changed by altering the shutter speed.

sRGB (standard RGB)

International standard of color space established by the IEC (International

Electrotechnical Commission). This is defined from color space for PC monitors and is also used as the standard color space for Exif.

Vignetting

Vignetting occurs when corners of pictures are blackened because the subject was blocked by the hood or filter or the flash was blocked.

White Balance

While shooting, color temperature is adjusted to match the light source so that the subject appears to have correct color.
