Cautions about using the battery
When the battery has fully discharged, the battery icon will turn
red and the "Low Battery" message will appear.
Protect batteries, chargers, and memory cards from
damage

can create a connection between the + and – terminals of your
battery and lead to temporary or permanent battery damage and
may cause a fire or electric shock.
Notes about using the battery
• Avoid exposing batteries to very cold or very hot temperatures
(below 0 °C/32 °F or above 40 °C/104 °F). Extreme
temperatures can reduce the charging capacity of your
batteries.
Notes about charging the battery
• If the status lamp is off, make sure that the battery is inserted
correctly.
• When you use the camera for an extended period, the area
around the battery chamber may become warm. This does not
affect the normal use of the camera.
• If the camera is on while charging, the battery may not fully
charge. Turn off the camera before charging the battery.
• Do not pull the power supply cord to disconnect the plug from
the power outlet, as this may cause a fire or electric shock.
• Do not use your camera when you are charging the battery.
This may cause a fire or electric shock.
• In temperatures below 0 °C/32 °F, battery capacity and battery
life may decrease.
• Do not pull the power supply cord to disconnect the plug from
the power outlet, as this may cause a fire or electric shock.
• Battery capacity may decrease in low temperatures but will
return to normal in milder temperatures.
• Let the battery charge for at least 10 minutes before turning on
the camera.
• If you connect the camera to an external power source when
the battery is depleted, using high energy-consuming functions
will cause the camera to turn off. To use the camera normally,
recharge the battery.

Camera maintenance
• If you reconnect the power cable when the battery is fully
charged, the status lamp turns on for approximately 30 minutes.
Handling and disposing of batteries and chargers
with care
• Using the flash or recording videos depletes the battery quickly.
Charge the battery until the red status lamp turns off.
• Never dispose of batteries in a fire. Follow all local regulations
when you dispose of used batteries.
• If the status lamp blinks in red, reconnect the cable, or remove
the battery and insert it again.
• Never place batteries or cameras on or in heating devices,
such as microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Batteries may
explode when they are overheated.
• If you charge the battery when the cable is overheated or

Glossary
ACB (Auto Contrast Balance)
Composition
This feature automatically improves the contrast of your images
when the subject is backlit or when there is a high contrast
between your subject and the background.
Composition in photography means arranging objects in a photo.
Usually, abiding by the rule of thirds leads to a good composition.
DIS (Digital Image Stabilization)
AEB (Auto Exposure Bracket)
This feature compensates in real-time for shaking and vibrating
while shooting. There can be a certain amount of image
degradation compare to Optical Image Stabilization.
This feature automatically captures several images at different
exposures to help you capture a properly-exposed image.
AF (Auto Focus)
DCF (Design rule for Camera File system)
A system that automatically focuses the camera lens on the
subject. Your camera uses the contrast to focus automatically.
A specification to define a file format and file system for digital
cameras created by the Japan Electronics and Information
Technology Industries Association (JEITA).
Aperture
Depth of field
The aperture controls the amount of light that reaches the
camera’s sensor.
The distance between the nearest and farthest points that can
be acceptably focused in a photograph. Depth of field varies with
lens aperture, focal length, and distance from the camera to the
subject. Selecting a smaller aperture, for example, will increase
the depth of field and blur the background of a composition.
Camera shake (Blur)
If the camera is moved while the shutter is open, the entire image
may appear blurred. This occurs more often when the shutter
speed is slow. Prevent camera shake by raising the sensitivity,
using the flash, or using a faster shutter speed. Alternately, use a
tripod, the OIS or DIS function to stabilize the camera.
Digital zoom
A feature that artificially increases the amount of zoom available
with a zoom lens (Optical zoom). When using the Digital zoom,
the image quality will deteriorate as the magnification increases.
Appendixes 121

Glossary
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)
Flash
A format for writing printing information, such as selected images
and number of prints, on a memory card. DPOF-compatible
printers, sometimes available at photo shops, can read the
information from the card for convenient printing.
A speed light that helps to create adequate exposure in low-light
conditions.
Focal length
The distance from the middle of the lens to its focal point (in
millimeters). Longer focal lengths result in narrower angles of view
and the subject is magnified. Shorter focal lengths result in wider
angles of view.
EV (Exposure Value)
All the combinations of the camera’s shutter speed and lens
aperture that result in the same exposure.
EV Compensation
Image sensor
This feature allows you to quickly adjust the exposure value
measured by the camera, in limited increments, to improve the
exposure of your photos. Set the EV compensation to -1.0 EV to
adjust the value one step darker and 1.0 EV to one step brighter.
The physical part of a digital camera that contains a photosite for
each pixel in the image. Each photosite records the brightness of
the light that strikes it during an exposure. Common sensor types
are CCD (Charge-coupled Device) and CMOS (Complementary
Metal Oxide Semiconductor).
Exif (Exchangeable Image File Format)
ISO sensitivity
A specification to define an image file format for digital cameras
created by the Japan Electronic Industries Development
Association (JEIDA).
The sensitivity of the camera to light, based on the equivalent film
speed used in a film camera. At higher ISO sensitivity settings,
the camera uses a higher shutter speed, which can reduce blur
caused by camera shake and low light. However, images with
high sensitivity are more susceptible to noise.
Exposure
The amount of light allowed to reach the camera’s sensor.
Exposure is controlled by a combination of the shutter speed, the
aperture value, and ISO sensitivity.

Glossary
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
Noise
A lossy method of compression for digital images. JPEG images
are compressed to reduce their overall file size with minimal
deterioration of the image resolution.
Misinterpreted pixels in a digital image that may appear as
misplaced or random, bright pixels. Noise usually occurs when
photos are shot with a high sensitivity or when a sensitivity is
automatically set in a dark place.
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
OIS (Optical Image Stabilization)
A visual display commonly used in consumer electronics. This
display needs a separate backlight, such as CCFL or LED, to
reproduce colors.
This feature compensates in real-time for shaking and vibrating
while shooting. There is no image degradation compared to
Digital Image Stabilization feature.
Macro
Optical zoom
This feature allows you to capture close-up photos of very small
objects. When using the macro feature, the camera can maintain
a sharp focus on small objects at a near life-size ratio (1:1).
This is a general zoom which can enlarge images with a lens and
does not deteriorate quality of images.
Metering
Quality
The metering refers to the way in which the camera measures the
quantity of light to set the exposure.
An expression of the rate of compression used in a digital image.
Higher quality images have a lower rate of compression, which
usually results in a larger file size.
MJPEG (Motion JPEG)
Resolution
A video format which is compressed as a JPEG image.
The number of pixels present in a digital image. High resolution
images contain more pixels and typically show more detail than
low resolution images.
Appendixes 123
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
Glossary
Shutter speed
Shutter speed refers to the amount of time it takes to open and
close the shutter, and it is an important factor in the brightness of
a photo, as it controls the amount of light which passes through
the aperture before it reaches the image sensor. A fast shutter
speed allows less time to let light in and the photo becomes
darker and more easily freezes subjects in motion.
Vignetting
A reduction of an image’s brightness or saturation at the periphery
(outer edges) compared to the center of the image. Vignetting
can draw interest to subjects positioned in the center of an
image.
White balance (color balance)
An adjustment of the intensities of colors (typically the primary
colors red, green, and blue), in an image. The goal of adjusting
the white balance, or color balance, is to correctly render the
colors in an image.
