Shooting Functions > Metering
Spot
The 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 dierence in the
exposure exists between a subject and a background.
Center-weighted
The 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 dierence in brightness between a
subject and a background or an area of the subject is large compared to
the overall composition of the photo.

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 camera’s sensor.

Appendix > Glossary
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 specication to dene 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.
For example, using a smaller f-number will create a large depth of eld
and blur the background in the 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 specic 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.
184
Appendix > Glossary
Flash
A speed light that helps to create adequate exposure in low-light
conditions.
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
magnied. Shorter focal lengths result in wider angles of view.
Histogram
A 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-4
A 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 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.
Exif (Exchangeable Image File Format)
A specication to dene an image le format for digital cameras created by
the Japan Electronic Industries Development Association (JEIDA).
Exposure
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.
185
Appendix > Glossary
Metering
The 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 eect on MPO-compatible displays, such as 3D TVs or 3D
monitors.
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).
IP (Internet protocol) address
An IP address is a unique number that is assigned to every device that is
connected to the internet.
ISO sensitivity
The 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.
186
Appendix > Glossary
PAL (Phase Alternate Line)
A video color encoding standard used in numerous countries throughout
Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
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 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.
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.
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.
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 zoom
This is a general zoom which can enlarge images with a lens and does not
deteriorate quality of images.
187
Appendix > 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.
sRGB (Standard RGB)
International standard of color space established by the IEC (International
Electrotechnical Commission). This is dened from color space for PC
monitors and is also used as the standard color space for Exif.
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.
Wi-Fi
Wi-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.
