Explanation of Terms
AF/AE Lock: On this camera, pressing the shutter button down halfway locks the exposure settings (AF/AE
lock). If you want to change the composition of your shot after you set the exposure, you can
get excellent results by using AF/AE lock before you compose your shot and take the picture.
Auto Power Off Function: If the camera is not used in any way for two minutes or more, the Auto Power Off function
switches the camera off. This is to prevent battery depletion and to avoid wasting power when
the camera is connected to the AC power adapter. Auto Power Off does not operate when the
Auto Power Off function is disabled or a USB connection is used.
DPOF: Digital Print Order Format
DPOF is a format used for recording information on a storage media (image memory card, etc.)
that allows you to specify which of the frames shot using a digital camera are printed and how
many prints are made of each image.
EV: A number that denotes exposure. The EV is determined by the brightness of the subject and
sensitivity (speed) of the film or CCD. The number is larger for bright subjects and smaller for
dark subjects. As the brightness of the subject changes, a digital camera maintains the amount
of light hitting the CCD at a constant level by adjusting the aperture and shutter speed.
When the amount of light striking the CCD doubles, the EV increases by 1. Likewise, when the
light is halved, the EV decreases by 1.
JPEG: Joint Photographics Experts Group
A file format used for compressing and saving color images. The compression ratio can be
selected, but the higher the compression ratio, the poorer the quality of the expanded image.
White Balance: Regardless of the type of lighting, the human eye adapts so that a white object still looks white.
On the other hand, devices such as digital still cameras register a white subject as white by first
adjusting their internal color balance to match the color of the ambient light around the subject.
This adjustment process is referred to as matching the white balance. A function that
automatically matches the white balance is called an auto white balance function.
Do not use in the
bathroom or shower.
