Memory card

A recording medium that uses flash memory on which data can be electrically erased (rewritten). SD memory cards and Multimedia cards can be used with this camera.

MF (Manual Focus)

Focusing performed manually rather than using AF.

Program AE

This is a type of AE in which the camera automatically selects a combination of shutter speed and aperture setting according to the brightness of the subject.

Shooting mark

The “B” mark displayed on the LCD monitor when the camera is ready to take the picture.

Shutter speed

This refers to the time for which the shutter opens and allows the light for the picture to strike the film or CCD.

Subject

This term refers to the person or object photographed by the camera. In portrait shots, the subject is the person. In shots of landscapes, the subject is the scenery.

TFT color LCD monitor

Refers to an LCD monitor that uses a thin film transistor (TFT). TFT monitors provide good resolution and excellent responsiveness.

White balance

To the human eye, the light from a white incandescent light globe or a fluorescent tube does not appear to differ particularly from sunlight. In fact, however, they are a quite different in color from the light of the sun. Without some adjustment, shots taken under an incandescent light globe have an orange cast, while shots taken under fluorescent lights have a blue or green cast. There is a range of methods for correcting the color casts caused by different light sources, but on digital cameras a white subject is used as a reference. For this reason, the function is referred to as “white balance”.

Zoom lens

This is a lens in which the photography scale can be changed gradually. In a zoom lens, the photography scale is varied by gradually changing the focal length.

Zooming

This refers to the gradual changing of the photography scale. Gradual enlargement of the subject is called “zooming in”, while gradual reduction of the subject is called “zooming out”.
