About histograms

Setting the display type

You can select a display type for the Shooting or Playback mode. Each type displays

diﬀerent shooting or playback information. See the table below.

A histogram is a graph that illustrates how light is distributed in your photo. If the

histogram has a high peak on the left, the photo is underexposed and will appear

dark. A peak on the right of the graph means that the photo is overexposed and

will appear washed out. The height of the peaks is related to color information. The

more of a particular color, the taller the peak.

Low battery message

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

Prevent batteries from making contact with metal objects, as this 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.

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.

Do not pull the power supply cord to disconnect the plug from the power outlet,

as this may cause a ﬁre or electric shock.

In temperatures below 0 °C/32 °F, battery capacity and battery life may decrease.

Battery capacity may decrease in low temperatures but will return to normal in

milder temperatures.

Remove the batteries from your camera when storing it for an extended period.

Installed batteries may leak or corrode over time and cause serious damage

to your camera. Storing the camera for extended periods with the battery

installed causes the battery to discharge. You may not be able to recharge a fully

discharged battery.

Notes about charging the battery

•

If the status lamp is oﬀ, make sure that the battery is inserted correctly.

If the camera is on while charging, the battery may not fully charge. Turn oﬀ the

camera before charging the battery.

Do not use your camera when you are charging the battery. This may cause a ﬁre

or electric shock.

Do not pull the power supply cord to disconnect the plug from the power outlet,

as this may cause a ﬁre or electric shock.

•

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.

•

When you do not use the camera for an extended period (3 months or more),

check the battery and recharge it regularly. If you let the battery discharge

continually, its capacity and life may decrease, which can lead to a malfunction,

ﬁre, or explosion.

Camera maintenance

•

If you reconnect the power cable when the battery is fully charged, the status

lamp turns on for approximately 30 minutes.

Using the ﬂash or recording videos depletes the battery quickly. Charge the

battery until the red status lamp turns oﬀ.

If the status lamp blinks in red, reconnect the cable, or remove the battery and

insert it again.

If you charge the battery when the cable is overheated or the temperature is too

high, the status lamp may blink in red. Charging will start when the battery cools

down.

Handling and disposing of batteries and chargers with care

•

Never dispose of batteries in a ﬁre. Follow all local regulations when you dispose

of used batteries.

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.

AEB (Auto Exposure Bracket)

DCF (Design rule for Camera File system)

This feature automatically captures several images at diﬀerent exposures to help

you capture a properly-exposed image.

A speciﬁcation to deﬁne a ﬁle format and ﬁle system for digital cameras created by

the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA).

AF (Auto Focus)

Depth of ﬁeld

A system that automatically focuses the camera lens on the subject. Your camera

uses the contrast to focus automatically.

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.

The aperture controls the amount of light that reaches the camera’s sensor.

Digital zoom

Camera shake (Blur)

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.

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 or OIS function to stabilize the camera.

Glossary

DIS (Digital Image Stabilization)

Exposure

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.

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.

Flash

EV (Exposure Value)

A speed light that helps to create adequate exposure in low-light conditions.

All the combinations of the camera’s shutter speed and lens aperture that result in

the same exposure.

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 Compensation

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.

H.264/MPEG-4

A high-compression video format established by international standard

organizations ISO-IEC and ITU-T and developed by the Joint Video Team (JVT). This

codec is capable of providing good video quality at low bit rates.

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).

Image sensor

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).

Glossary

ISO sensitivity

MJPEG (Motion JPEG)

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.

A video format which is compressed as a JPEG image.

Noise

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.

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.

Optical zoom

This is a general zoom which can enlarge images with a lens and does not

deteriorate quality of images.

LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)

A visual display commonly used in consumer electronics. This display needs a

separate backlight, such as CCFL or LED, to reproduce colors.

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.

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).

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.

Metering

The metering refers to the way in which the camera measures the quantity of light

to set the exposure.

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.
