White Balance

A setting in the Photo Assist menu that is used to correct the color applied to a captured image under

 

different lighting conditions in order to make the white areas in the image appear white without any color

 

cast.

wide angle

A lens that has a shorter focal length and a wider field of view (including more subject area) than a normal

 

lens. A wide angle lens makes a subject appear smaller than does a normal lens at the same camera-to-

 

subject distance. See also “telephoto” on page 122.

zoom

To enlarge the subject by changing the field of view and magnification of the lens by using the zoom

 

lever. Once the camera lens is at maximum optical zoom, you can switch into digital zoom mode, if the

 

image LCD is on. See also “optical zoom” on page 120 and “digital zoom” on page 116.

zoom lever

A lever on the back of the camera that moves the lens continuously between telephoto and wide angle

 

focal lengths. The zoom lever also controls the digital zoom. See also “digital zoom” on page 116, “focal

 

length” on page 117, “telephoto” on page 122, and “wide angle” on page 124.
