Glossary
AdobeRGB
Colour space recommended by Adobe Systems, Inc. for commercial printing. Wider range of colour
reproduction than sRGB. Covers most of the colour range so colours only available when printed are not
lost when editing images from a computer. When image is opened by non-compatible software, the
colours look lighter.
AE Metering
Brightness of subject is measured to determine exposure. In this camera, select from [Multi-segment
Metering], [Center-weighted Metering] and [Spot Metering].
Aperture
The aperture increases or reduces the light beam (the amount of light) that passes through the lens.
Auto Bracket
For automatically changing the shooting conditions. When the shutter button is pressed, three images
are shot. The first one has no compensation, the second is under-exposed and the third is over-
exposed.
Bright Portion
Over exposed area in the image loses contrast and appears white.
Camera Shake (Blur)
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, or by using a faster shutter speed.
Alternatively, use a tripod to stabilize the camera. Because camera motion causes camera shake, use
the self-timer, the remote control unit, and the cable switch to prevent.
CCD (Charge Coupled Devices)
Photography element which converts the light entering through the lens into electric signals.
