Attach the strap to the strap mounts on the camera.
Once you have attached both ends of the strap,
check carefully to ensure that the strap is firmly
secured.

!

Failure to attach the strap correctly can result in the camera

●

being dropped.

Pull the lens cap cord through the strap.

!

Attach the lens cap cord to avoid losing the lens cap.

●

Screw the adapter ring in the direction of the arrow
to mount it on the camera.

Mounting the adapter ring on the camera not only
blocks unwanted external light but also protects the
lens and allows the optional conversion lens to be
attached.
Mount the adapter ring on the camera at all times.

Attaching the lens cap

To prevent the lens cap from appearing in the shot
when you take pictures, attach the lens cap to the
strap.

Compatible batteries

h AA-size alkaline batteries (4), or optional AA-size Ni-MH batteries (4).

!

Please use the same brand and grade AA-size alkaline batteries as those supplied with the camera.

●

How to use the battery

◆

h Never use the following types of battery, as this could cause serious

problems such as battery fluid leakage or overheating :

1. Batteries with split or peeling outer casings

2. Combinations of different types of batteries or new and used batteries
together

h Do not use manganese or Ni-Cd batteries.
h Soil, such as fingermarks on the poles of the batteries can significantly reduce the amount of time

for which the batteries can be used.

h The time for which AA-size alkaline batteries (referred to hereafter simply as alkaline batteries)

can be used varies depending on the brand, and some alkaline batteries may stop providing
power more quickly than those supplied with the camera. Note also that due to their nature, the
time for which alkaline batteries can be used decreases in cold conditions (0°C to +10°C). The
use of AA-size Ni-MH batteries is recommended for this reason.

h Use Fujifilm Battery charger (sold separately) to charge AA-size Ni-MH batteries.
h See P.97-99 for other notes on using batteries.
h When first purchased or if left unused for a log period, the time for which AA-size Ni-MH

batteries or rechargeable Battery NH-10 can be used may be shorter. See P.98 for details.

The table below shows the standard number of available frames for a new xD-Picture Card formatted on the camera. The
larger the xD-Picture Card capacity, the greater the divergence between the actual number of available frames and the
number shown here. Also, because the amount of data recorded varies depending on the subject, the number of available
frames may not decrease or may decrease by 2 when a frame is taken. Consequently, the actual number of available frames
may be more or less than what is displayed.

In a shot with this type of composition, the subjects
(two people in this case) are not in the AF frame. If
the shot is taken at this point, the subjects will not
be in focus.

Move the camera slightly so that one of the
subjects is in the AF frame.

When you press the Shutter button down halfway,
the camera emits a short double-beep and focuses
on your subject. At that point, the AF frame on the
screen becomes smaller and the camera sets the
shutter speed and aperture (the indicator lamp
(green) changes from blinking to lit.).

Continue to hold the Shutter button down halfway
(AF/AE lock). Move the camera back to the original
image and then fully press down on the Shutter
button.

You can reapply the AF/AE lock as many times as you like

●

before releasing the shutter.

!

The AF/AE lock operates in all Photography modes and can

●

be used to ensure excellent results.

AF-ASSIST ILLUMINATOR

When the Shutter button is pressed down halfway
in dimly lit conditions, the camera fires the AF­Assist Illuminator (green) to allow easier focusing at
shooting distances of up to roughly 2 m depending
on subject.
However, the AF-Assist Illuminator is not effective
when the zoom is set to telephoto (high
magnification : 6× or more). Wherever possible,
pictures should be taken using a wide-angle zoom
setting (low magnification).

!

When “{” is displayed even with the AF-Assist Illuminator

used, the camera cannot focus. When this occurs, take the
picture at a distance of around 2 m from the subject.

FOCUSING

The distance from the subject to the camera is referred to as the shooting distance.
The image is said to be focused when the image appears sharp at the correct shooting distance.

■ Three focusing methods

The FinePix S5000 now offers a choice of 3 focusing mechanisms : Auto focus (S-AF),
Continuous AF (C-AF) and Manual focus (M-AF).

S-AF : Allows the camera to focus on the subject automatically. The camera focuses when the

Shutter button is pressed down halfway.

C-AF : The camera focuses continuously on the main subject in the AF frame. Use this mode to

photograph moving subjects. See P.51 for details.

MF : With the “

details.

■ Causes of focusing errors and the solutions

The subject is not suited to AF.
The subject is outside the shooting range.
The subject is moving too quickly. Use MF (pre-setting the shooting distance for a shot (lock pin))

Press the Shutter button down
halfway to focus.

Recompose the shot and take the picture.

0.1 m to 2.0 m (0.3 ft. t o 6.6 ft.)

EXPOSURE

Exposure refers to the light that hits the CCD or the total amount of captured light and determines
the brightness of the image.
The exposure is determined by the combination of aperture and shutter speed. In AE (automatic
exposure), the camera automatically determines the correct exposure, allowing for factors such as
the brightness of the subject and the ISO setting.

The graph at left shows the way the aperture and shutter speed settings can
be changed while maintaining the same exposure level.

h When the exposure is decreased by one step, the shutter speed also

decreases by one step (the dot moves up and left).

h When the exposure is increased by one step, the shutter speed also

increases by one step (the dot moves down and right).

h Combinations that result in the shutter speed or aperture being outside the

available range of settings cannot be selected (white dots).

N”, “M” and “<” photography modes, it is easy to select different

h In the “

settings along this line.

h Selecting settings that run parallel to this line by adjusting the brightness of

the photographed image is referred to as exposure compensation.

When you cannot get the correct exposure

◆

–0+

Exposure compensation :

This function uses the exposure level set by the AE
function as a reference (0) and then brightens (+) or
darkens (–) the image. By selecting Auto bracketing,
you can shoot 3 frames, one underexposed (–), one
at the reference exposure (0) and one overexposed
(+).

◆

Shutter speed

When you are shooting a moving subject, you can either “freeze the motion” or “capture the sense
of movement” by adjusting the shutter speed.

Fast Slow

Freezes the motion of the
subject.

Photographs the traces left
by the subject's movement.

TAKING PICTURES —SELECTING THE CAMERA SETTINGS

Consider the scene you are photographing and the sort of image you want to
achieve when you specify the camera settings. A general guide to the procedure
is given below.

Select the Photography mode (➡P.38-42, 58-59).

1

B

All settings other than the Quality, ISO sensitivity and FinePix COLOR
are specified on the camera.

? Select the best Scene position setting (mPORTRAIT, ,SCENE,

.SPORT or /NIGHT) for the scene being shot.

N/M/< Allows you to change the aperture or shutter speed setting so that the

action is frozen, so that the flow of the motion is conveyed, or so that
the background is out of focus.

> Allows you to adjust all the camera settings yourself.
r Shoots a movie.

Specify the required photography function settings (➡P.43-52).

2

Macro Use these functions for close-up shots.

e

Flash Use the flash for shots in dark locations or for backlit

d

subjects, etc.

Continuous shooting Allows you to take a series of continuous shots or to

f

use auto bracketing (with exposure compensation).

Exposure compensation

D

Using the AE exposure as a reference value of 0, this
function brightens (+) or darkens (–) the shot.

Take the photograph (check the exposure and focus ➡ adjust

3

the shot composition ➡ press the Shutter button down fully).

★

You can use the menus for more detailed settings (➡P.30-33, 53-57).

The table below provides a number of sample settings. You can achieve any number of other effects
by using the settings effectively. Try changing different settings to see what kind of shots you can take.

To express the motion of the subject (the flow of time)

To freeze the subject's movement
To make the subject stand out by having the background

out of focus
To get a very large depth of focus
To prevent the image having a red or blue cast due to

the light source
To avoid missing snapshot opportunities Take pictures in AUTO mode (see “Using the Camera”).
To prevent the subject from being overexposed or

underexposed and to show the substance and textures
of the subject clearly.

To achieve this result Sample settings

Set the Mode dial to “M” and select a slow shutter speed. (Use a
tripod to avoid camera shake.)

Set the Mode dial to “M” and select a fast shutter speed.
Set the Mode dial to “<” and select a wide aperture setting.

Set the Mode dial to “<” and select a narrow aperture setting.
Change the “White balance” setting in the photography menu.

Use exposure compensation.

printed.

This section gives a detailed description of how to order your prints with the FinePix
S5000.
On the FinePix S5000, you can specify only one print per image in the DPOF settings.

✽ Note that some printers do not support date and time imprinting or specification of the

number of prints.

✽ Note that the warnings shown below may be displayed while you are specifying the

prints.

«

÷ (➡P.62)

When you erase the image, the DPOF setting for that image is deleted at the same time.

6.1.1 Using the optional AC Power Adapter (sold separately

It is strongly recommended for using a FUJIFILM AC Power Adapter AC-5VH/AC-5VHS (➡P.95) in
order to avoid losing power at inconvenient times, such as when you are downloading
photographed images to your computer. Using the AC power adapter also allows you to take
pictures and play back images without worrying about depleting the batteries.

!

Only connect or disconnect the AC power adapter when the camera is switched off.

●

Connecting or disconnecting the AC power adapter while the camera is switched on temporarily interrupts the power
supply to the camera, so that images or movies being shot at the time are not recorded. Failing to switch the camera off
first can also result in damage to the xD-Picture Card or malfunctions during PC connection.

Check that the camera is switched off. Plug the AC
power adapter connector into the “DC IN 5V”
socket and then plug the AC power adapter into the
power outlet.

!

The socket-outlet shall be installed near the equipment and

●

shall be easily accessible.

!

The shape of the plug and socket-outlet depends on the

●

country of use.

!

See P.98 for notes on using the AC power adapter.

●

Connecting the AC power adapter does not allow
you to charge the Ni-MH batteries. Use the optional
charger (➡P.95) to charge the Ni-MH batteries.

)

6.1.2 Connecting to a TV

Switch off the camera and TV. Plug the A/V cable

1

(provided with the camera) into the “A/V OUT”
(audio/visual output) socket.

6.1.3 Connecting to a computer

The “Camera Connection” section explains how to connect the camera to your computer using the
USB cable (Mini-B) and describes the functions you can use once the camera and computer are
connected.

If the power cuts out during data transmission, the data will not be transmitted correctly. Always use the
AC power adapter when connecting the camera to a computer.

Refer to Section 5 the first time you connect the camera to your computer.

Do not connect the camera with the computer before
installing all the software.

e Be sure to read this information in conjunction with “Safety Notes” (➡P.108), to ensure that you

use your camera correctly.

■ Places to avoid

Do not store or use the camera in the following types
of locations :

h In the rain or in very humid, dirty or dusty places
h In direct sunlight or in places subject to extreme

temperature rises, such as in a closed car in
summer

h Extremely cold places
h Places subject to strong vibration
h Places affected by smoke or steam
h Places subject to strong magnetic fields (such as

near motors, transformers or magnets)

h In contact with chemicals such as pesticides or next

to rubber or vinyl products for long periods of time

■ Notes on immersion in water or sand

The FinePix S5000 is particularly adversely affected
by water and sand. When you are at the beach or
close to water, ensure that the camera is not exposed
to water or sand. Take care not to place the camera
on a wet surface. Water or sand inside the camera
can cause faults that may be irreparable.

■ Notes on condensation

If the camera is carried suddenly from a cold location
into a warm place, water droplets (condensation) may
form on the inside of the camera or on the lens. When
this occurs, switch the camera off and wait an hour
before using the camera. Condensation may also form
on the xD-Picture Card. In this event, remove the xD-

Picture Card and wait a short time before using it
again.

■ When the camera is unused for long
periods

If you do not intend to use the camera for a long
period of time, remove the battery and the xD-Picture
Card before storing the camera.

■ Cleaning your camera

h Use a blower brush to remove dust from the lens,

LCD monitor screen or viewfinder, and then wipe
lightly with a soft, dry cloth. If any soil remains, apply
a small amount of lens cleaning liquid to a piece of
FUJIFILM lens cleaning paper and wipe gently.

h Do not scratch hard objects against the lens, LCD

monitor screen or viewfinder as these surfaces are
easily damaged.

h Clean the body of the camera with a soft, dry cloth.

Do not use volatile substances such as thinners,
benzine or insecticide, as these may react with
camera body and cause deformation or remove the
coating.

■ Using the camera overseas

When travelling overseas, do not place your camera in
the check-in baggage. Baggage handling at airports
may subject baggage to violent shocks, and the
camera may be damaged internally even when no
external damage is visible.

Notes on the Power Supply

Applicable Batteries

h In the camera, use AA-size alkaline or nickel-metal

hydride batteries.
Do not use AA-size manganese or nickel-cadmium
(Ni-Cd) batteries in your FinePix S5000 because the
heat generated by the batteries could damage the
camera or cause malfunctions.

h The operating lives of alkaline batteries vary

between brands and the life of batteries you
purchase may be shorter than the alkaline batteries
provided with the camera.

Notes on the Batteries

Incorrect use of the batteries could cause them to
leak, become hot, ignite or burst. Always observe the
precautions given below.

h Do not heat the batteries or throw them into a fire.
h Do not carry or store a battery with metal objects

such as necklaces or hairpins that could come into
contact with the metal positive ≠ and negative –
poles of the battery.

h Do not expose the batteries to fresh or sea water,

and take particular care to keep the terminals dry.

h Do not attempt to deform, disassemble or modify the

batteries.

h Do not attempt to peel off or cut the battery outer

casing.

h Do not drop, strike or otherwise subject the batteries

to strong impacts.

h Do not use batteries that are leaking, deformed,

discolored or exhibit any other obvious abnormality.

h Do not store batteries in very warm or moist

locations.

h Keep the batteries out of reach of babies and small

children.

h When loading the batteries into the camera, ensure

that the battery polarity (≠ and –) is as indicated on
the camera.

h Do not use a new battery together with a used

battery. In the case of rechargeable batteries, do not
use charged and discharged batteries together. Do
not use batteries of different types or brands
together.

h If you do not intend to use the camera for a long

period of time, remove the batteries from the
camera. (Note that if the camera is left with the
batteries removed, the time and date settings are
cleared.)

h The batteries may feel warm immediately after being

used. Before removing the batteries, switch the
camera off and wait until the batteries cool down.

h When replacing the batteries, always fit 4 new

batteries.
Here, “new batteries” denotes newly purchased
unused alkaline batteries or a pair of fully charged
AA-size Ni-MH batteries that were charged at the
same time.

h In cold locations (at temperatures of +10°C/+50°F or

below), battery performance deteriorates and the
time for which they can be used shortens markedly.
This is particularly true of alkaline batteries. In cold

conditions, put the batteries in your pocket or a
similar place to warm them before loading them into
the camera. If you use a body warmer to warm the
batteries, ensure that they are not in direct contact
with the warmer.

h Soil (such as fingerprints) on the battery terminals

can markedly reduce the number of available
frames. Carefully wipe the battery terminals clean
with a soft dry cloth before loading the batteries.

If any liquid at all leaks from the batteries, wipe
the battery compartment thoroughly and then
load new batteries.
If any battery fluid comes into contact with your
hands or clothing, flush the area thoroughly
with water. Note that battery fluid can cause
loss of eyesight if it gets into your eyes. If this
occurs, do not rub your eyes. Flush the fluid
out with clean water and contact your physician
for treatment.

Notes on using the AA-size Ni-MH
batteries correctly

h As a power source in digital cameras, AA-size Ni-

MH batteries are superior to alkaline batteries in
several ways, such as allowing more shots to be
taken with the camera. However, care must be taken
with the way Ni-MH batteries are used if their
original performance is to be maintained.

h Ni-MH batteries left unused in storage for long

periods can become “deactivated”. Also, repeatedly
charging Ni-MH batteries that are only partially
discharged can cause them to suffer from the
“memory effect”.
Ni-MH batteries that are “deactivated” or affected by
“memory” suffer from the problem of only providing
power for a short time after being charged. To
prevent this problem, discharge and recharge them
several times using the camera’s “Discharging
rechargeable batteries” function. By repeating this
cycle several times, the temporary reduction in
performance caused by “memory” or “deactivation”
can be remedied and the batteries can be restored
to their original performance levels.
Deactivation and memory are specific to Ni-MH
batteries and are not in fact battery faults. See P.99
for the procedure for “Discharging rechargeable
batteries”.

Do not use the “Discharging rechargeable batteries”
function when alkaline batteries are being used.

h To charge Ni-MH batteries, use the quick battery

charger (sold separately). Refer to the instructions
supplied with the charger to ensure that the charger
is used correctly.

h Do not use the battery charger to charge batteries

other than those specified for use with the charger.

h Note that the batteries may feel warm immediately

after being charged.

h Due to the way the camera is constructed, a small

amount of current is used even when the camera is
switched off. Note in particular that leaving Ni-MH
batteries in the camera for a long period will
overdischarge the batteries and may render them
unusable even after recharging.

h Ni-MH batteries will self-discharge even when not

used, and the time for which they can be used may

be shortened as a result.

h Ni-MH batteries will deteriorate rapidly if

overdischarged (eg. by discharging the batteries in a
flashlight). Use the "Discharging rechargeable
batteries" function provided in the camera to
discharge the batteries.

h Ni-MH batteries have a limited service life. If a

battery can only be used for a short time even after
repeated discharge-charge cycles, it may have
reached the end of its service life.

■ Disposing of Batteries

When disposing of batteries, do so in accordance with
your local waste disposal regulations.

AC Power Adapter

Always use the AC-5VH/AC-5VHS AC Power Adapter
with the camera.
The use of an AC power adapter other than AC-5VH/
AC-5VHS could result in damage to your digital
camera.
h This AC power adapter is designed exclusively for

indoor use.

h Plug the connection cord plug securely into the DC

input terminal of the FUJIFILM Digital camera.

h Turn off the power switch of the FUJIFILM Digital

camera before disconnecting the connection cord
from the FUJIFILM Digital camera’s DC input
terminal. To disconnect, take hold of the plug and
pull it out (do not disconnect it by pulling on the
cord).

h Do not use this AC power adapter with any device

except the specified device.

h During use, this AC power adapter will become hot

to the touch, but this is normal.

h Do not disassemble the AC power adapter. Doing so

could be dangerous.

h Do not use this device in a place with high

temperature and high humidity.

h Do not drop or subject this device to strong shocks.
h This device may emit a humming noise, but this is

normal.

h If used near a radio, this device may cause static, so

play the radio in a distant place.

Procedure for discharging rechargeable Ni-MH batteries

Only use the “Discharging rechargeable batteries” function with Ni-MH batteries
(rechargeable batteries).
The “Discharging rechargeable batteries” function should not be used with
alkaline batteries as it will completely drain the battery charge.

Use the “Discharging rechargeable batteries” function in the following situations :

i When the batteries can only be used for a short time after being charged normally
i When the batteries have not been used for a long period
i When you purchase new Ni-MH batteries

Do not use the “Discharging rechargeable batteries” function while using the AC power adapter. In
these situations, the Ni-MH batteries will not be discharged due to the external power supply.

Notes on the xD-Picture Card™

Warning Displays eThe table below lists the warnings that are displayed on the monitor.

■ Image memory card

h This Image Memory Card is a new image recording

media (xD-Picture Card) developed for digital
cameras. The Image Memory Card consists of a
semiconductor memory (NAND-type flash memory)
to record digital image data.
The recording process is electrically performed and
enables erasure of existing image data as well as re­recording of new image data.

h When using a new Memory Card, or a Memory Card

that has been initialized by a PC, be sure to initialize
(format/initialize) the card with your digital camera
before using it.

■ Protecting your data

h Data may be lost or destroyed in the following

situations. Please note that FUJIFILM assumes no
responsibility for data that is lost or destroyed.

1. Removal of the memory card or turning the power
off while the memory card is being accessed (i.e.,
during record, erase, initialization, and playback
operations).

2. Improper handling and use of the memory card by
the user or third party.

h We recommend saving your important data to

another media (i.e., MO disk, CD-R, hard disk, etc.).

■ Notes on handling xD-Picture Card

h Keep xD-Picture Cards out of the reach of small

children. When storing xD-Picture Cards, ensure
that they are kept in a location out of the reach of
small children to prevent a card being accidentally
swallowed. An xD-Picture Card could cause
suffocation if accidentally swallowed. If a child
swallows an xD-Picture Card, seek medical advice
immediately.

h Make sure that the memory card is straight when

you insert into the camera etc.

h The memory card is a precision electronic

instrument. Do not apply pressure or shock, and
avoid bending.

h Do not use the memory card in a hot, humid, or

corrosive environment.

h If the contact area on the card is soiled (dust,

fingerprints, etc.), wipe it clean with a soft, dry cloth.

h Clean the memory card with a soft dry piece of cloth

when dirty.

h xD-Picture Cards should be kept in their special

cases or carrying cases when being stored or
carried around.

h The memory card can be used reliably for a long

period of time, but will eventually lose its ability to
store and play back image data. At this point,
replace with a new memory card.

h Never remove the xD-Picture Card or switch the

camera off during data recording, during data
erasing (xD-Picture Card formatting) or during
frame advance when images are being played back.
These actions could result in damage to the xD-
Picture Card.

h The use of xD-Picture Cards is recommended with

the FinePix S5000.
The camera quality cannot be guaranteed when
cards other than those manufactured by FUJIFILM
are used.

h The xD-Picture Card may feel warm when it is

removed from the camera after extended periods of
picture taking or image viewing. This is normal and
does not indicate a fault.

h Do not affix labels to the xD-Picture Card.

This could result in the label peeling off and causing
a fault when the card is inserted or removed.

■ Notes on using xD-Picture Card with a

PC

h If you intend to take photos using an xD-Picture

Card that has been used on a PC, format the xD­Picture Card on your camera.

h When you format an xD-Picture Card in the camera

and then shoot and record images, a directory
(folder) is automatically created. Image data is then
recorded in this directory.

h Do not change or delete the directory (folder) names

or file names on the xD-Picture Card from your PC
as this will make it impossible to use the xD-Picture
Card in your camera.

AF/AE Lock :

On the FinePix S5000, pressing the shutter button down half way locks the focus and exposure settings (AF and AE lock). If
you want to focus on a subject that is not centered in the frame or change the picture composition after the exposure is set,
you can obtain good results by changing the composition after the AF and AE settings are locked.

Auto Power Save Function :

If the camera is not used in any way for 30 seconds, this function switches features such as the monitor off (Sleep mode) to
prevent battery depletion and the waste of power when the AC power adapter is connected. If the camera is then left unused
for a further period, the Auto Power Save function switches the camera off. This period can be set to 2 minutes or 5 minutes
on this camera.
h The Auto Power Off function does not operate in PC mode, during automatic playback, or if it is disabled during setup.

Deactivated batteries :

Leaving an Ni-MH battery unused in storage for a long period may cause a rise in the level of substances that inhibit current
flow inside the battery and result in a dormant battery. A battery in this state is referred to as deactivated.
Because current flow is inhibited in a deactivated Ni-MH battery, the battery's original level of performance cannot be
achieved.

DPOF :

Digital Print Order Format
DPOF is a format used for recording information on a storage media (image memory card, etc.) that allows you to specify
which of the frames shot using a digital camera are to be printed and how many prints are made of each image.

EV :

A number that denotes Exposure Value. The EV is determined by the brightness of the subject and sensitivity (speed) of the
film or CCD. The number is larger for bright subjects and smaller for dark subjects. As the brightness of the subject changes,
a digital camera maintains the amount of light hitting the CCD at a constant level by adjusting the aperture and shutter
speed.
When the amount of light striking the CCD doubles, the EV increases by 1. Likewise, when the light is halved, the EV
decreases by 1.

Frame rate (fps) :

The frame rate refers to the number of images (frames) that are photographed or played back per second. For example,
when 10 frames are continuously photographed in a 1-second interval, the frame rate is expressed as 10 fps.
For reference, TV images are displayed at 30 fps.

JPEG :

Joint Photographics Experts Group
A file format used for compressing and saving color images. The higher the compression rate, the greater the loss of quality
in the decompressed (restored) image.

Memory effect :

If an Ni-MH battery is repeatedly charged without first being fully discharged, its performance may drop below its original
level. This is referred to as the “memory effect”.

Motion JPEG :

A type of AVI (Audio Video Interleave) file format that handles images and sound as a single file. Images in the file are
recorded in JPEG format. Motion JPEG can be played back by QuickTime 3.0 or later.

PC Card :

A generic term for cards that meet the PC Card Standard.

PC Card Standard :

A standard for PC cards determined by the PCMCIA.

PCMCIA :

Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (US).

Smear :

A phenomenon specific to CCDs whereby white streaks appear on the image when there is a very strong light source, such
as the sun or reflected sunlight, in the photography screen.

WAVE :

A standard format used on Windows systems for saving audio data. WAVE files have the “.WAV” file extension and the data
can be saved in either compressed or uncompressed format. Uncompressed recording is used on this camera.
WAVE files can be played back on a personal computer using the following software:
Windows : MediaPlayer
Macintosh : QuickTime Player

White Balance :

Whatever the kind of the light, the human eye adapts to it so that a white object still looks white. On the other hand, devices
such as digital cameras see a white subject as white by first adjusting the color balance to suit the color of the ambient light
around the subject. This adjustment is called matching the white balance. A function that automatically matches the white
balance is called an Automatic White Balance function.

Exif Print Format is a newly revised digital camera file format that contains a variety of shooting information for optimal
printing.
