Glossary
Composition
Composition in photography means arranging objects in a photo. Usually, abiding 
by the rule of thirds leads to a good composition.
DCF (Design rule for Camera File system)
A specification to define a file format and file system for digital cameras created by 
the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA).
Depth of field
The distance between the nearest and farthest points that can be acceptably 
focused in a photograph. Depth of field varies with lens aperture, focal length, and 
distance from the camera to the subject. Selecting a smaller aperture, for example, 
will increase the depth of field and blur the background of a composition.
Digital zoom
A feature that artificially increases the amount of zoom available with a zoom lens 
(Optical zoom). When using the Digital zoom, the image quality will deteriorate as 
the magnification increases.
ACB (Auto Contrast Balance)
This feature automatically improves the contrast of your images when the subject is 
backlit or when there is a high contrast between your subject and the background.
AEB (Auto Exposure Bracket)
This feature automatically captures several images at different exposures to help 
you capture a properly-exposed image.
AF (Auto Focus)
A system that automatically focuses the camera lens on the subject. Your camera 
uses the contrast to focus automatically.
Aperture
The aperture controls the amount of light that reaches the camera’s sensor.
Camera shake (Blur)
If the camera is moved while the shutter is open, the entire image may appear 
blurred. This occurs more often when the shutter speed is slow. Prevent camera 
shake by raising the sensitivity, using the flash, or using a faster shutter speed. 
Alternately, use a tripod, the DIS or OIS function to stabilize the camera. 
						

							Glossary
Appendixes  153Exposure
The amount of light allowed to reach the camera’s sensor. Exposure is controlled by 
a combination of the shutter speed, the aperture value, and ISO sensitivity.
Flash
A speed light that helps to create adequate exposure in low-light conditions.
Focal length
The distance from the middle of the lens to its focal point (in millimeters). Longer 
focal lengths result in narrower angles of view and the subject is magnified. Shorter 
focal lengths result in wider angles of view.
H.264/MPEG-4
A high-compression video format established by international standard 
organizations ISO-IEC and ITU-T and developed by the Joint Video Team (JVT ). This 
codec is capable of providing good video quality at low bit rates.
Image sensor
The physical part of a digital camera that contains a photosite for each pixel in 
the image. Each photosite records the brightness of the light that strikes it during 
an exposure. Common sensor types are CCD (Charge-coupled Device) and CMOS 
(Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor).
DIS (Digital Image Stabilization)
This feature compensates in real-time for shaking and vibrating while shooting. 
There can be a certain amount of image degradation compare to Optical Image 
Stabilization.
EV (Exposure Value)
This feature allows you to quickly adjust the exposure value measured by the 
camera, in limited increments, to improve the exposure of your photos. Set the EV 
compensation to -1.0 EV to adjust the value one step darker and 1.0 EV to one step 
brighter.
EV Compensation
All the combinations of the camera’s shutter speed and lens aperture that result in 
the same exposure.
Exif (Exchangeable Image File Format)
A specification to define an image file format for digital cameras created by the 
Japan Electronic Industries Development Association (JEIDA). 
						

							Glossary
Appendixes  154MJPEG (Motion JPEG)
A video format which is compressed as a JPEG image.
Noise
Misinterpreted pixels in a digital image that may appear as misplaced or random, 
bright pixels. Noise usually occurs when photos are shot with a high sensitivity or 
when a sensitivity is automatically set in a dark place.
Optical zoom
This is a general zoom which can enlarge images with a lens and does not degrade 
the quality of images.
Quality
An expression of the rate of compression used in a digital image. Higher quality 
images have a lower rate of compression, which usually results in a larger file size.
Resolution
The number of pixels present in a digital image. High resolution images contain 
more pixels and typically show more detail than low resolution images.
ISO sensitivity
The sensitivity of the camera to light, based on the equivalent film speed used in 
a film camera. At higher ISO sensitivity settings, the camera uses a higher shutter 
speed, which can reduce blur caused by camera shake and low light. However, 
images with high sensitivity are more susceptible to noise.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
A lossy method of compression for digital images. JPEG images are compressed to 
reduce their overall file size with minimal deterioration of the image resolution.
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
A visual display commonly used in consumer electronics. This display needs a 
separate backlight, such as CCFL or LED, to reproduce colors.
Macro
This feature allows you to capture close-up photos of very small objects. When 
using the macro feature, the camera can maintain a sharp focus on small objects at 
a near life-size ratio (1:1).
Metering
The metering refers to the way in which the camera measures the quantity of light 
to set the exposure. 
						

							Glossary
Appendixes  155
Shutter speed
Shutter speed refers to the amount of time it takes to open and close the shutter, 
and it is an important factor in the brightness of a photo, as it controls the amount 
of light which passes through the aperture before it reaches the image sensor. A 
fast shutter speed allows less time to let light in and the photo becomes darker and 
more easily freezes subjects in motion.
Vignetting
A reduction of an image’s brightness or saturation at the periphery (outer edges) 
compared to the center of the image. Vignetting can draw interest to subjects 
positioned in the center of an image.
White balance (color balance)
An adjustment of the intensities of colors (typically the primary colors red, green, 
and blue), in an image. The goal of adjusting the white balance, or color balance, is 
to correctly render the colors in an image.
