Color space
The color space option allows you to select methods for representing
colors. Digital imaging devices such as digital cameras, monitors, and
printers have their own methods for representing colors, which are called
color spaces.
Option Description
sRGB
sRGB (Standard RGB) is an international specication
to dene the color space created by IEC (International
Electrotechnical Commission). It is widely used for
creating colors on PC monitors and is also the standard
color space for Exif. sRGB is recommended for regular
images and images you intend to publish on the
Internet.
Adobe RGB
Adobe RGB is used for commercial printing and has a
larger color range than sRGB. Its wider range of colors
helps you to easily edit photos on a computer. Note
that individual programs are generally compatible
with a limited number of color spaces.

AP (Access Point)
An access point is a device that allows wireless devices to connect to a
wired network.
Ad-Hoc network
An ad-hoc network is a temporary connection for sharing les or an
internet connection and between computers and devices.
AdobeRGB
Adobe RGB is used for commercial printing and has a larger color range
than sRGB. Its wider range of colors helps you to easily edit photos on a
computer.
AEB (Auto Exposure Bracket)
This feature automatically captures several images at dierent exposures
to help you capture a properly-exposed image.
AEL/AFL (Auto Exposure Lock/Auto Focus Lock)
These features help you lock the exposure or focus on which you want to
focus or calculate the exposure.
AF (Auto Focus)
A system that automatically focuses the camera lens on the subject. Your
camera uses the contrast to focus automatically.
AMOLED (Active-matrix organic light-emitting diode) /
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
AMOLED is a visual display that is very thin and light, as it does not
need backlighting. LCD is a visual display commonly used in consumer
electronics. This display needs a separate backlight, such as CCFL or LED, to
reproduce colors.
Aperture
The aperture controls the amount of light that reaches the cameras sensor.

Composition
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)
A specication to dene a le format and le system for digital cameras
created by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries
Association (JEITA).
Depth of eld
The distance between the nearest and farthest points that can be
acceptably focused in a photograph. Depth of eld 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 eld
and blur the background of a composition.
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)
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.
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 ash, or using
a faster shutter speed. Alternatively, use a tripod or the OIS function to
stabilize the camera.
Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is a technology that allows you to store data on remote
servers and to use them from a device with internet access.
Color space
The range of colors that the camera can see.
Color temperature
Color Temperature is a measurement in degrees Kelvin (K) that indicates
the hue of a specic type of light source. As the color temperature
increases, the color of the light source has a more bluish quality. As the
color temperature decreases, the color of the light source has a more
reddish quality. At 5,500 degrees Kelvin, the color of the light source is
similar to the sun at midday.
