Glossary

Color space

A defined range of colors from the spectrum which are used. In digital cameras, [sRGB] is defined as the standard by Exif. In this camera, [AdobeRGB] is also used because of the richer color expression over sRGB.

Color Temperature

This numerically expresses the color of the light source illuminating the subject. This is indicated in absolute temperature, using Kelvin (K) units.

The color of light shifts to a bluish color as the color temperature rises, and to a reddish color as the color temperature falls.

DCF (Design Rule for Camera File System)

A digital camera file system standard established by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA).

Depth of Field

Area of focus. This depends on the aperture, lens focal length, and distance to the subject. For example, select a smaller aperture to increase the depth of field or use a larger aperture to decrease the depth of field.

DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)

Rules for writing information onto a card with recorded images regarding the specific images and number of copies to be printed. Prints can easily be made by taking images to a DPOF photo printing store.

EV (Exposure Value)

Exposure Value is determined by the combination of the aperture value and the shutter speed.

EV Compensation

Process of adjusting the image brightness by changing the shutter speed and aperture value.

Exif (Exchangeable image file format for digital still camera)

A standard digital camera file format established by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA).

Focus point

Position in the viewfinder that determines focus.
