Glossary
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 image is opened by non-compatible
software, the colors look lighter.
Aperture
The aperture increases or reduces the light beam (thickness) passing
through the lens to the CMOS sensor.
Auto Bracket
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 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.
Bright portions
Overexposed 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, and
raising the shutter speed. Alternatively, use a tripod to stabilize the
camera. As camera shake is mostly likely to occur when pressing the
shutter release button, use the Shake Reduction function, the self-timer or
the remote control unit to prevent camera movement.
CMOS Sensor
Photography element which converts the light entering through the lens
into electric signals that create the image.
