Glossary  
ACB (Auto Contrast Balance)  
DCF (Design rule for Camera File system)  
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.  
A specification to define a file format and file system for digital cameras  
created by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries  
Association (JEITA).  
AEB (Auto Exposure Bracket)  
Depth of field  
This feature automatically captures several images at different  
exposures to help you capture a properly-exposed image.  
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.  
AF (Auto Focus)  
A system that automatically focuses the camera lens on the subject.  
Your camera uses the contrast to focus automatically.  
Digital zoom  
A feature that artificially increases the amount of zoom available with  
zoom lens (optical zoom). When using the digital zoom, the image  
quality will deteriorate as the magnification increases.  
Aperture  
The aperture controls the amount of light that reaches the camera’s  
sensor.  
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)  
Camera shake (Blur)  
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.  
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 DIS function to  
stabilize the camera.  
EV (Exposure Value)  
All the combinations of the camera’s shutter speed and lens aperture  
that result in the same exposure.  
Composition  
Composition in photography means arranging objects in a photo.  
Usually, abiding by the rule of thirds leads to a good composition.

Glossary  
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)  
A specification to define an image file format for digital cameras created  
by the Japan Electronic Industries Development Association (JEIDA).  
ISO sensitivity  
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.  
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)  
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.  
Flash  
A speed light that helps to create adequate exposure in low-light  
conditions.  
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)  
Focal length  
A visual display commonly used in consumer electronics. This display  
needs a separate backlight, such as CCFL or LED, to reproduce  
colors.  
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.  
Macro  
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).

Glossary  
Metering  
Shutter speed  
The metering refers to the way in which the camera measures the  
quantity of light to set the exposure.  
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 pass 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.  
MJPEG (Motion JPEG)  
A video format which is compressed as a JPEG image.  
Noise  
Vignetting  
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.  
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)  
Optical zoom  
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.  
This is a general zoom which can enlarge images with a lens and does  
not deteriorate quality of images.  
Quality  
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.  
Resolution  
The number of pixels present in a digital image. High resolution images  
contain more pixels and typically show more detail than low resolution  
images.
