13Concepts in PhotographyStanding photographyCompose your shot; stand up straight with your feet shoulder-length apart, and keep your elbows pointed down.Shooting posturesA correct posture for stabilizing the camera is necessary for taking a good photo. Even if you hold a camera correctly, the wrong posture can cause the camera to shake. Stand up straight and remain still to maintain a steady base for your camera. When shooting with a slow shutter speed, hold your breath to minimize body movement.Holding the cameraHold the camera with your right hand and place your right index nger on the shutter button. Place your left hand under the lens for support.
14Concepts in PhotographyCrouching photographyCompose your shot, crouch with one knee touching the ground, and keep a straight posture.Using the displaySwing the display outwards 180° and rotate it up or down for high-and low-angle photos or self portraits ( ). You can rotate the display a maximum of 90° downward or 180° upward ( ). You can also rotate the display 180° upward and fold it ( ).• Keep the display closed when the camera is not in use.• Tilt the display only within the angle allowed. Failing to do so may damage your camera.• Use the Wi-Fi functions when the display is set as shown in illustrations and .
15Concepts in PhotographyLow-angle shotA low-angle shot is a shot from a camera positioned below your eyeline, looking up the subject.High-angle shotA high-angle shot is a shot from a camera positioned above your eyeline, looking down on the subject.
16Concepts in PhotographyApertureThe aperture, a hole that controls the amount of light that enters the camera, is one of the three factors that determine the exposure. The aperture housing contains thin, metal plates that open and close to let light through the aperture and into the camera. The size of the aperture is closely related to the brightness of a photo: the larger the aperture, the brighter the photo; the smaller the aperture, the darker the photo.Aperture sizesMinimum aperture Medium aperture Maximum apertureDarker photo (aperture opened slightly)Brighter photo (aperture opened wide)The size of the aperture is represented by a value known as an "F-number." The f-number represents the focal length divided by the diameter of the lens. For example, if a lens with a 50 mm focal length has an f-number of F2, the diameter of the aperture is 25 mm. (50 mm/25 mm = F2) The smaller the f-number, the greater the size of the aperture.The opening in the aperture is described as the Exposure Value (EV). Increasing the Exposure Value (+1 EV) means the amount of light doubles. Decreasing the Exposure Value (-1 EV) means the amount of light halves. You can also use the exposure compensation feature to ne-tune the amount of light by subdividing exposure values into 1/2, 1/3 EV, and so on.+1 EVF1.4 F2 F2.8 F4 F5.6 F8-1 EVExposure Value Steps
17Concepts in PhotographyAperture value and the depth of eldYou can blur or sharpen the background of a photo by controlling the aperture. It is closely related to the depth of eld (DOF), which can be expressed as small or large.A photo with a large DOF A photo with a small DOFThe aperture housing contains several blades. These blades move together and control the amount of light passing through the center of the aperture. The number of blades also aects the shape of light when shooting night scenes. If an aperture has an even number of blades, light divides into an equal number of sections. If the number of blades is odd, the number of sections is double the number of blades.For example, an aperture with 8 blades divides light into 8 sections and an aperture with 7 blades into 14 sections.7 blades 8 blades
18Concepts in PhotographyShutter speedShutter 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.Usually, the shutter speed is manually adjustable. The measurement of the shutter speed is known as the "Exposure Value" (EV), which is marked in intervals of 1 s, 1/2 s, 1/4 s, 1/8 s, 1/15 s, 1/1,000 s, 1/2,000 s, and so on.Exposure+1 EV-1 EV1 s 1/2 s 1/4 s 1/8 s 1/15 s 1/30 sShutter SpeedTherefore, the faster the shutter speed, the less light will be let in. Likewise, the slower the shutter speed, the more light will be let in.As the photos below illustrate, a slow shutter speed allows more time to let light in, so the photo becomes brighter. On the other hand, a fast shutter speed allows less time to let light in and the photo becomes darker and more easily freezes subjects in motion.0.8 s 0.004 s
19Concepts in PhotographyISO sensitivityThe exposure of an image is determined by the sensitivity of the camera. This sensitivity is based on international lm standards, known as ISO standards. On digital cameras, this sensitivity rating is used to represent the sensitivity of the digital mechanism that captures the image.ISO sensitivity doubles as the number doubles. For example, an ISO 200 setting is capable of capturing images at twice the speed of an ISO 100 setting. However, higher ISO settings can result in "noise"—small specks, spots, and other phenomena in a photo that give the shot a noisy or dirty appearance. As a general rule, it is best to use a low ISO setting to prevent noise in your photos, unless you are shooting in darkened environments or at night.Changes in the quality and brightness according to ISO sensitivityBecause a low ISO sensitivity means the camera will be less sensitive to light, you need more light to have an optimal exposure. When using a low ISO sensitivity, open the aperture more or reduce the shutter speed to allow more light to enter the camera. For example, on a sunny day when light is abundant, a low ISO sensitivity does not require a slow shutter speed. However, in a dark place or at night, a low ISO sensitivity will result in a blurry photo. Therefore, it is recommended to increase the ISO sensitivity by a moderate amount.A photo captured with a tripod and high ISO sensitivityA blurred photo with a low ISO sensitivity
20Concepts in PhotographyHow the aperture setting, shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity control exposureThe aperture setting, shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity are closely interconnected in photography. The aperture setting controls the opening that regulates the light that enters the camera, while the shutter speed determines the length of time that light is allowed to enter. ISO sensitivity determines the speed at which the lm reacts to light. Together, these three aspects are described as the triangle of exposure.A change in shutter speed, aperture value, or ISO sensitivity can be oset by adjustments to the others to maintain the amount of light. The results, however, change according to the settings. For example, shutter speed is useful in expressing movement, aperture can control the depth of eld, and ISO sensitivity can control the graininess of a photo.Settings ResultsAperture valueWide aperture = more lightNarrow aperture = less lightWide = small depth of eld Narrow = large depth of eldSettings ResultsShutter speedFast speed = less lightSlow speed = more lightFast = still Slow = blurryISO sensitivityHigh sensitivity = more sensitive to lightLow sensitivity = less sensitive to lightHigh = more grainy Low = less grainy
21Concepts in PhotographyCorrelation between focal length, angle, and perspectiveFocal length, which is measured in millimeters, is the distance between the middle of the lens to its focal point. It aects the angle and perspective of captured images. A short focal length translates into a wide angle, which allows you to capture a wide shot. A long focal length translates into a narrow angle, which allows you to capture telephoto shots.Short focal lengthwide shotwide anglewide-angle lensLong focal lengthtelephoto shotnarrow angletelephoto lensLook at these photos below and compare the changes.18 mm angle 55 mm angle 200 mm angleNormally, a lens with a wide angle is suitable for shooting landscapes and a lens with a narrow angle is recommended for shooting sports events or portraits.
22Concepts in PhotographyDepth of eldPortraits or still-life photos mostly acclaimed by people are the ones on which the background is out of focus so the subject looks pronounced. Depending on the focused areas, a photo can be blurred or sharpened. This is called ‘a low DOF’ or ‘a high DOF’.The depth of eld is the focused area around the subject. Therefore, a small DOF signies that the focused area is narrow and a large DOF means the focused area is wide.A photo with a small DOF, which stresses the subject and makes the rest of it blurred, can be obtained by using a telescope lens or selecting a low aperture value. Conversely, a photo with a large DOF which shows all the elements on the photo sharply focused can be achieved by using a wide angle lens or selecting a high aperture value.Small Depth of Field Large Depth of FieldWhat controls out-of-focus eects?DOF depends on aperture valueThe wider the aperture is (namely the lower the aperture value), the lower the DOF becomes. Under the condition where the other values including shutter speed and ISO sensitivity are equal, a low aperture value leads to a photo with a low DOF.55 mm F5.7 55 mm F22
23Concepts in PhotographyDOF depends on focal lengthThe longer the focal length is, the lower the DOF gets. A telescope lens with a longer focal length than a wide-angle lens with a short focal length is better to capture a photo of a low DOF. A photo captured with a 18 mm wide-angle lensA photo captured with a 100 mm telescope lensDOF depends on the distance between the subject and the cameraThe shorter the distance between the subject and the camera is, the lower the DOF gets. Therefore, taking a photo close to a subject can result in a photo of low DOF.A photo captured with a 100 mm telescope lensA photo captured close to the subject
24Concepts in PhotographyDOF previewYou can press [Depth preview] to get an idea of what your shot will look like before shooting. The camera adjusts the aperture to the predened settings and shows the results on the screen. Set the function of the Depth preview button to Optical Preview. (p. 161)CompositionIt is fun to capture a photo of the beauty of world with a camera. No matter how the world is beautiful, however, a poor composition cannot capture the beauty of it.When it comes to composition, it is very important to prioritize subjects. Composition in photography means arranging objects in a photo. Usually, abiding by the rule of thirds leads to a good composition.Rule of ThirdsTo use the rule of thirds, divide the image into a 3x3 pattern of equal rectangles.To compose photos that best emphasize the subject, make sure the subject is located at one of the corners of the center rectangle.
25Concepts in PhotographyUsing the rule of thirds will create photos with stable and compelling compositions. Below are a few examples.Photos with two subjectsIf your subject is in one corner of the photo, it creates an unbalanced composition. You can stabilize the photo by capturing a second subject in the opposite corner to balance the weight of the photo.Subject 1Subject 2Subject 1Subject 2Unstable StableWhen taking landscape photos, centering the horizon will create an unbalanced eect. Give more weight to the photo by moving the horizon up or down.Subject 1Subject 2Subject 1Subject 2Unstable Stable
26Concepts in PhotographyFlash guide numberThe model number of a ash refers to the ash’s power, and the maximum amount of light created is represented by a value known as a "guide number." The bigger the guide number, the more light is emitted from the ash. The guide number is achieved by multiplying the distance from the ash to the subject and the aperture value when the ISO sensitivity is set to 100.Guide number = Flash to Subject Distance X Aperture valueAperture value = Guide number/Flash to Subject DistanceFlash to Subject Distance = Guide number/Aperture valueTherefore, if you know the guide number of a ash, you can estimate an optimum ash to subject distance when setting the ash manually. For example, if a ash has a guide number of GN 20 and is 4 meters away from the subject, the optimal aperture value is F5.0.FlashLight is one of the most important components in photography. It is not easy, however, to have an enough amount of light anytime and anywhere. Making use of a ash allows you to optimize light settings and create a variety of eects.Flash, also known as strobe or speed light, helps to create adequate exposure in low-light conditions. It is also useful in light-abundant situations. For example, ash can be used in compensating the exposure of a subject’s shadow or capturing clearly both the subject and the background in backlit conditions.Before correction After correction
27Concepts in PhotographyBounce PhotographyBounce photography refers to the method of bouncing light o of the ceiling or walls so that the light spreads evenly over the subject. Normally, photos captured with ash may appear unnatural and cast shadows. Subjects in photos captured with bounce photography cast no shadows and look smooth due to evenly spread light.

Shooting Functions102102Shooting FunctionsShooting FunctionsThe metering mode refers to the way in which a camera measures the quantity of light.The camera measures the amount of light in a scene, and in many of its modes, uses the measurement to adjust various settings. For example, if a subject looks darker than its actual color, the camera captures an overexposed photo of it. If a subject looks lighter than its actual color, the camera captures an underexposed photo of it.The brightness and overall mood of the photo can also be aected by how the camera measures the amount of light. Select an appropriate setting for a shooting condition.To set a metering option, In Shooting mode, press [N] ĺ an option.MultiThe Multi mode calculates the amount of light in multiple areas. When light is sucient or insucient, the camera adjusts the exposure by averaging the overall brightness of the scene. This mode is suitable for general photos.Metering
103Shooting Functions > MeteringCenter-weightedThe Center-weighted mode calculates a broader area than the Spot mode does. It sums up the amount of light in the center portion of the shot (60–80 %) and that of the rest of the shot (20–40 %). It is recommended for situations where there is a slight dierence in brightness between a subject and a background or an area of the subject is large compared to the overall composition of the photo.SpotThe Spot mode calculates the amount of light in the center. When you capture a photo in conditions where there is a strong backlight behind a subject, the camera adjusts the exposure so as to shoot a subject correctly. For example, when you select the Multi mode in a strong backlight condition, the camera calculates that the overall amount of light is abundant, which results in a darker photo. The Spot mode can prevent this situation as it calculates the amount of light in a designated area.The subject is in bright color while the background is dark. The Spot mode is recommended for a situation like this where a huge dierence in the exposure exists between a subject and a background.
104Shooting Functions > MeteringMeasuring the exposure value of the focus area When this function is turned on, the camera automatically sets an optimal exposure by calculating the brightness of the focus area.

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.ApertureThe aperture controls the amount of light that reaches the camera’s sensor.
201Appendix > GlossaryCompositionComposition 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 eldThe 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.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 ComputingCloud computing is a technology that allows you to store data on remote servers and to use them from a device with internet access. Color spaceThe range of colors that the camera can see.Color temperatureColor 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.
202Appendix > GlossaryFlashA speed light that helps to create adequate exposure in low-light conditions.Focal lengthThe 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 magnied. Shorter focal lengths result in wider angles of view.HistogramA graphical representation of the brightness of an image. The horizontal axis represents the brightness and the vertical axis represents the number of pixels. High points at the left (too dark) and right (too bright) on the histogram indicate a photo that is improperly exposed.H.264/MPEG-4A high-compression video format established by international standard organizations ISO-IEC and ITU-T. This codec is capable of providing good video quality at low bit rates developed by the Joint Video Team (JVT).EV (Exposure Value)All the combinations of the camera’s shutter speed and lens aperture that result in the same exposure. EV CompensationThis feature allows you to quickly adjust the exposure value measured by the camera, in limited increments, to improve the exposure of your photos.Exif (Exchangeable Image File Format)A specication to dene an image le format for digital cameras created by the Japan Electronic Industries Development Association (JEIDA).ExposureThe 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.
203Appendix > GlossaryMeteringThe metering refers to the way in which the camera measures the quantity of light to set the exposure.MF (Manual Focus)A system that manually focuses the camera lens on the subject. You can use the focus ring to focus on a subject.MJPEG (Motion JPEG)A video format which is compressed as a JPEG image.MPO (Multi Picture Object)An image le format that contains multiple images in a le. An MPO le provides a 3D eect on MPO-compatible displays, such as 3D TVs or 3D monitors.Image sensorThe 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).IP (Internet protocol) addressAn IP address is a unique number that is assigned to every device that is connected to the internet.ISO sensitivityThe sensitivity of the camera to light, based on the equivalent lm speed used in a lm 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.JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)A lossy method of compression for digital images. JPEG images are compressed to reduce their overall le size with minimal deterioration of the image resolution.
204Appendix > GlossaryPAL (Phase Alternate Line)A video color encoding standard used in numerous countries throughout Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.QualityAn 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 le size.RAW (CCD raw data)The original, unprocessed data, collected directly from the camera’s image sensor. White Balance, contrast, saturation, sharpness, and other data can be manipulated with editing software before the image is compressed into a standard le format.ResolutionThe number of pixels present in a digital image. High resolution images contain more pixels and typically show more detail than low resolution images.NoiseMisinterpreted 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.NFC (Near Field Communication)NFC is a set of standards for radio communication at very close proximity. You can use NFC-enabled devices to activate features or exchange data with other devices.NTSC (National Television System Committee) A video color encoding standard used most commonly in Japan, North America, the Philippines, South America, South Korea, and Taiwan.Optical zoomThis is a general zoom which can enlarge images with a lens and does not deteriorate quality of images.
205Appendix > GlossaryShutter speedShutter 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.sRGB (Standard RGB)International standard of color space established by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission). This is dened from color space for PC monitors and is also used as the standard color space for Exif.VignettingA 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.Wi-FiWi-Fi is a technology that allows electronic devices to exchange data wirelessly over a network.WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)WPS is a technology that secures wireless home networks.
