AdobeRGB

Color space recommended by Adobe Systems, Inc. for commercial printing. Wider range of color reproduction than sRGB. Covers most of the color range so colors only available when printed are not lost when editing images on a computer. When an image is opened by non-compatible software, the colors look lighter.

Auto Bracketing

For automatically changing exposure. When the shutter release button is pressed, several images are captured. One has no compensation, one or more are underexposed, and one or more are overexposed. This camera features Exposure Bracketing that captures images in different exposures, and Extended Bracketing that captures images with set White Balance, Saturation, Hue, High/Low Key Adjustment, Contrast and Sharpness levels.

 

AE Metering

 

Brightness of subject is measured to determine exposure. In this camera, select

 

from [Multi-segment Metering], [Center-weighted Metering] and [Spot Metering].

 

AF point

 

Position in the viewfinder that determines focus. In this camera, select

 

from [Auto], [Select] and [Center].

 

Aperture

 

The aperture increases or reduces the light beam (thickness) passing

 

through the lens to the CMOS sensor.

 

Bright Portion

 

Overexposed area in an image loses contrast and appears white.

Camera Shake (Blur)

Appendix

When the camera moves while the shutter is open, the entire image

appears blurred. This occurs more often when shutter speed is low.

 

 

Prevent camera shake by raising the sensitivity, using the flash, and

 

raising the shutter speed. Alternatively, use a tripod to stabilize the

 

camera. As camera shake is most likely to occur when pressing the shutter

 

release button, use the Shake Reduction function, Self-timer or Remote

 

Control shooting to prevent camera movement.
