| Dynamic Range | |
| Indicated with a value expressing the light level reproducible in an image. | |
| This is the same as the term “Exposure latitude” used with silver halide | |
| film. | |
| Generally, when the dynamic range is wide, overexposed and/or | |
| underexposed areas are less likely to occur within the image, and when | |
| the dynamic range is narrow, all image tones can be reproduced sharply | |
| and accurately. | |
| 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/or 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). | |
| Exposure Bracketing | |
| For automatically changing exposure. When the shutter release button is | |
| pressed, three images are captured. The first one has no compensation, | |
| the second is underexposed and the third is | |
| Histogram | |
| A graph that shows the darkest and brightest points in an image. The | |
| horizontal axis represents the brightness and the vertical axis represents | |
| the number of pixels. This is useful when you wish to refer to the exposure | |
| status of an image. | |
11 | ISO Sensitivity | |
The level of sensitivity to light. With a high sensitivity, images can be shot | ||
Appendix | ||
with a high shutter speed even in dark places, reducing camera shake. | ||
| ||
| However, images taken with a high sensitivity are more susceptible to | |
| noise. |
