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.  
DCF (Design rule for Camera File system)  
AEB (Auto Exposure Bracket)  
A specification to define a file format and file system for digital  
cameras created by the Japan Electronics and Information  
Technology Industries Association (JEITA).  
This feature automatically captures several images at different  
exposures to help you capture a properly-exposed image.  
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.  
Aperture  
The aperture controls the amount of light that reaches the  
camera’s sensor.  
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.  
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 DIS or OIS function to stabilize the camera.  
Appendixes 153  
 
Glossary  
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)  
Exposure  
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.  
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  
EV Compensation  
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.  
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  
Exif (Exchangeable Image File Format)  
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.  
A specification to define an image file format for digital cameras  
created by the Japan Electronic Industries Development  
Association (JEIDA).  
Appendixes 154  
Glossary  
Image sensor  
Macro  
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).  
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).  
Metering  
The metering refers to the way in which the camera measures the  
quantity of light to set the exposure.  
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.  
MJPEG (Motion JPEG)  
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.  
OIS (Optical Image Stabilization)  
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)  
This feature compensates in real-time for shaking and vibrating  
while shooting. There is no image degradation compared to  
Digital Image Stabilization feature.  
A visual display commonly used in consumer electronics. This  
display needs a separate backlight, such as CCFL or LED, to  
reproduce colors.  
Appendixes 155  
Glossary  
Optical zoom  
Vignetting  
This is a general zoom which can enlarge images with a lens and  
does not deteriorate quality of images.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.  
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.
