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], which supports a wider color gamut than sRGB, can be also

 

used.

 

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.

 

Dark Portion

 

Underexposed area in an image loses contrast and appears black.

 

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 value, lens focal length, and

 

distance to the subject. For example, select a smaller aperture value

 

(higher number) to increase the depth of field or use a larger aperture

 

value (smaller number) to decrease the depth of field.

 

DNG RAW file

 

DNG (Digital Negative) is a general-purpose RAW file format designed by

 

Adobe Systems. When images captured in proprietary RAW formats are

 

converted to DNG format, support and compatibility for the images

 

increases significantly.

 

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

Appendix

be made by taking the images to a DPOF photo printing store.
