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 available only when printed are not lost when editing 
images on a computer. When an image is opened by non-compatible 
software, the colors 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].
AF point
Position in the viewfinder that determines focus. In this camera, select 
from [Auto], [Select] and [Spot].
Aperture
The aperture increases or reduces the light beam (thickness) passing 
through the lens to the CMOS sensor.
Bright Portion
Overexposed area in an 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 most likely to occur when pressing the shutter 
release button, use the Shake Reduction function, Self-timer or Remote 
Control shooting to prevent camera movement.
CMOS sensor
Photography element which converts light entering through the lens into 
electric signals that create an image. 
						

							338
Appendix11Color 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 
be made by taking the images to a DPOF photo printing store.
