Expressions used in this manual

Basic troubleshooting

Learn to solve common problems by setting shooting options.

The subject’s eyes

appear red.

Red eye is caused by the eyes reﬂecting light from the camera ﬂash.

•

Set the ﬂash option to Red-eye or Red-eye Fix. (p. 51)

•

If the photo has already been captured, select Red-eye Fix in the edit menu. (p. 82)

Photos have dust

spots.

If dust particles are present in the air, you may capture them in photos when you use the ﬂash.

•

Turn off the ﬂash or avoid capturing photos in a dusty place.

•

Set ISO sensitivity options. (p. 52)

Photos are blurred. Blurring can occur if may be caused if you capture photos in low light conditions or hold the camera

incorrectly.

Use the DIS function or half-press [Shutter] to ensure the subject is focused. (p. 29)

Photos are blurred

when shooting at

night.

As the camera tries to let in more light, the shutter speed slows. This can make it difﬁcult to hold the

camera steady long enough to take a clear picture and may result in camera shake.

•

Select Night in

mode. (p. 34)

•

Turn on the ﬂash. (p. 51)

•

Set ISO sensitivity options. (p. 52)

•

Use a tripod to prevent your camera from shaking.

Subjects come out

too dark because of

backlighting.

When the light source is behind the subject or when there is a high contrast between the light and dark

areas, the subject may appear too dark.

•

Avoid shooting toward the sun.

•

Select Backlight in

mode. (p. 34)

•

Set the ﬂash option to Fill in. (p. 51)

•

Adjust the exposure. (p. 60)

•

Set the Auto Contrast Balance (ACB) option. (p. 61)

•

Set the metering option to Spot if a bright subject is in the center of the frame. (p. 61)

the light source behind the subject is too bright

the subject is shiny or reﬂective

the subject includes horizontal patterns, such as blinds

the subject is not positioned in the center of the frame

Using the focus lock

Half-press [Shutter] to focus. When the subject is in focus,

you can reposition the frame to change the composition.

When you are ready, press [Shutter] to capture your photo.

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 speciﬁcation to deﬁne a ﬁle format and ﬁle system for digital

cameras created by the Japan Electronics and Information

Technology Industries Association (JEITA).

Depth of ﬁeld

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.

Digital zoom

A feature that artiﬁcially increases the amount of zoom available

with a zoom lens (Optical zoom). When you use the Digital zoom,

the image quality will deteriorate as the magniﬁcation increases.

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.

ACB (Auto Contrast Balance)

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.

AEB (Auto Exposure Bracket)

This feature automatically captures several images at different

exposures to help you capture a properly exposed image.

AF (Auto Focus)

A system that automatically focuses the camera lens on the

subject. Your camera uses the contrast to focus automatically.

Aperture

The aperture controls the amount of light that reaches the

camera’s sensor.

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

118

Glossary

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 magniﬁed. Shorter focal lengths result in wider

angles of view.

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).

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.

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.

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. Set the EV compensation to -1.0 EV to

adjust the value one step darker and 1.0 EV to one step brighter.

Exif (Exchangeable Image File Format)

A speciﬁcation to deﬁne an image ﬁle 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.

Flash

A speed light that helps to create adequate exposure in low-light

conditions.

Appendixes

119

Glossary

Optical zoom

This is a general zoom which can enlarge images with a lens and

does not degrade image quality.

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.

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.

LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)

A visual display commonly used in consumer electronics. This

display needs a separate backlight, such as CCFL or LED, to

reproduce colors.

Macro

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.

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.

Appendixes

120

Glossary

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.
