Release-Priority for autofocus
Shutter can be released anytime (i.e., even when subject is not in focus). Helps you
avoid missed opportunities when you are not concerned with absolute focusing
precision.
Release-Priority is given to Continuous Servo AF mode while Focus-Priority is
given to Single Servo AF. Using Custom Setting, however, you can change the
priority to Focus-Priority Continuous Servo AF or Release-Priority Single Servo
AF.
Single Servo AF
Once the subject is in focus, focus is locked. Useful for recomposing the picture.
Slow Sync
A flash technique for using the flash at a slow shutter speed. Flash shooting in dim
light or at night at a fast shutter speed often results in a flash-illuminated subject
against a dark background. Using a slower shutter speed with the flash brings out
the background details in the picture. Use of a slow shutter speed with Rear-
Curtain Sync is particularly effective for illustrating the movement of a stream of
light.
Slow Sync mode extends the automatically controlled shutter speed range (in
Programmed Auto and Aperture-Priority Auto) down to 30 seconds.
SLR
Single Lens Reflex. A type of camera that allows you to see through the camera
lens as you look in the viewfinder. Other camera functions, such as light metering
and flash control, also operate through the camera’s lens.
Vignetting
Progressively diminished illumination on the image from the center to the corners.
There are two kinds of vignetting—natural vignetting caused by the lens, and
vignetting that is caused by improper use of accessories such as a lens hood or
filter.
White balance
Provides adjustments to match the type of lighting used to capture an image.
