Shooting Functions > Metering

Spot

The Spot mode calculates the amount of light in the center. When you capture a photo in conditions where there is a strong backlight behind a subject, the camera adjusts the exposure so as to shoot a subject correctly. For example, when you select the Multi mode in a strong backlight condition, the camera calculates that the overall amount of light is abundant, which results in a darker photo. The Spot mode can prevent this situation as it calculates the amount of light in a designated area.

Center-weighted

The Center-weighted mode calculates a broader area than the Spot mode does. It sums up the amount of light in the center portion of the shot (60–80 %) and that of the rest of the shot (20–40 %). It is recommended for situations where there is a slight dierence in brightness between a subject and a background or an area of the subject is large compared to the overall composition of the photo.

The subject is in bright color while the background is dark. The Spot mode is recommended for a situation like this where a huge dierence in the exposure exists between a subject and a background.

Using Adobe Photoshop Lightroom

Photos captured by a camera are often transformed to JPEG formats and stored in the memory according to the settings of the camera at the time of shooting. RAW ﬁles are not transformed to JPEG formats and are stored in the memory without any changes. With Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, you can calibrate exposures, White Balances, tones, contrasts, and colors of photos. You can also edit JPEG or TIFF les as well as RAW les. For more information, refer to the program guide.

•

Depending on your version of Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, you may not be able to open RAW les. In this case, update the program from the Adobe website.

•

In Adobe Photoshop Lightroom, an image’s brightness, color and other eects may be displayed dierently. This occurs because the original camera settings and options applied during image capture are removed, ready for it to be processed in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom.

Camera lens and display

Use a brush to remove dust and wipe the lens gently with a soft cloth. If any dust remains, apply lens cleaning liquid to a piece of cleaning paper and wipe gently.

Image sensor

Depending on dierent shooting conditions, dust may appear in photos because the image sensor is exposed to the external environment. This problem is normal, and the exposure to dust occurs in everyday use of the camera. You can remove dust from the sensor by operating the sensor cleaning function. (p. 149) If dust remains after cleaning the sensor, contact a service center. Do not insert the blower into the mounting opening of the lens.

Camera body

Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth.

Never use benzene, thinners, or alcohol to clean the device. These solutions can damage the camera or cause it to malfunction.

Notes about using the battery

•

Avoid exposing batteries to very cold or very hot temperatures (below 0 °C/32 °F or above 40 °C/104 °F). Extreme temperatures can reduce the charging capacity of your batteries.

•

When you use the camera for an extended period, the area around the battery chamber may become warm. This does not aect the normal use of the camera.

•

Do not pull the power supply cord to disconnect the plug from the power outlet, as this may cause a re or electric shock.

•

In temperatures below 0 °C/32 °F, battery capacity and battery life may decrease.

•

Battery capacity may decrease in low temperatures, but will return to normal in milder temperatures.

•

Remove the batteries from your camera when storing it for an extended period. Installed batteries may leak or corrode over time and cause serious damage to your camera. Storing the camera for extended periods with the battery installed causes the battery to discharge. You may not be able to recharge a fully discharged battery.

•

•

Do not pull the power supply cord to disconnect the plug from the power outlet, as this may cause a re or electric shock.

•

Let the battery charge for at least 10 minutes before turning on the camera.

•

If you reconnect the power cable when the battery is fully charged, the status lamp turns on for approximately 30 minutes.

•

Using the ash or recording videos depletes the battery quickly. Charge the battery until the red status lamp turns o.

•

If the status lamp blinks in red, reconnect the cable, or remove the battery and insert it again.

•

If you charge the battery when the cable is overheated or the temperature is too high, the status lamp may blink in red. Charging will start when the battery cools down.

•

Overcharging batteries may shorten battery life. After charging is nished, disconnect the cable from your camera.

AEL/AFL (Auto Exposure Lock/Auto Focus Lock)

These features help you lock the exposure or focus on which you want to focus or calculate the exposure.

AF (Auto Focus)

A system that automatically focuses the camera lens on the subject. Your camera uses the contrast to focus automatically.

AMOLED (Active-matrix organic light-emitting diode) / LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)

AMOLED is a visual display that is very thin and light, as it does not need backlighting. LCD is a visual display commonly used in consumer electronics. This display needs a separate backlight, such as CCFL or LED, to reproduce colors.

Aperture

The aperture controls the amount of light that reaches the camera’s sensor.

182

Page 93

Appendix > Glossary

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 ash, or using a faster shutter speed. Alternatively, use a tripod or the OIS function to stabilize the camera.

Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is a technology that allows you to store data on remote servers and to use them from a device with internet access.

Color space

The range of colors that the camera can see.

Color temperature

Color Temperature is a measurement in degrees Kelvin (K) that indicates the hue of a specic type of light source. As the color temperature increases, the color of the light source has a more bluish quality. As the color temperature decreases, the color of the light source has a more reddish quality. At 5,500 degrees Kelvin, the color of the light source is similar to the sun at midday.

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 specication to dene a le format and le system for digital cameras created by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA).

Depth of eld

The distance between the nearest and farthest points that can be acceptably focused in a photograph. Depth of eld varies with lens aperture, focal length, and distance from the camera to the subject. For example, using a smaller f-number will create a large depth of eld and blur the background in the composition.

DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)

A format for writing printing information, such as selected images and number of prints, on a memory card. DPOF-compatible printers, sometimes available at photo shops, can read the information from the card for convenient printing.

183

EV (Exposure Value)

All the combinations of the camera’s shutter speed and lens aperture that result in the same exposure.

EV Compensation

This feature allows you to quickly adjust the exposure value measured by the camera, in limited increments, to improve the exposure of your photos.

Exif (Exchangeable Image File Format)

A specication to dene an image le format for digital cameras created by the Japan Electronic Industries Development Association (JEIDA).

Exposure

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 magnied. Shorter focal lengths result in wider angles of view.

Histogram

A graphical representation of the brightness of an image. The horizontal axis represents the brightness and the vertical axis represents the number of pixels. High points at the left (too dark) and right (too bright) on the histogram indicate a photo that is improperly exposed.

H.264/MPEG-4

A high-compression video format established by international standard organizations ISO-IEC and ITU-T. This codec is capable of providing good video quality at low bit rates developed by the Joint Video Team (JVT).

184

Page 95

Appendix > Glossary

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 (Chargecoupled Device) and CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor).

IP (Internet protocol) address

An IP address is a unique number that is assigned to every device that is connected to the internet.

ISO sensitivity

The sensitivity of the camera to light, based on the equivalent lm speed used in a lm 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)

Metering

The metering refers to the way in which the camera measures the quantity of light to set the exposure.

MF (Manual Focus)

A system that manually focuses the camera lens on the subject. You can use the focus ring to focus on a subject.

MJPEG (Motion JPEG)

A video format which is compressed as a JPEG image.

MPO (Multi Picture Object)

An image le format that contains multiple images in a le. An MPO le provides a 3D eect on MPO-compatible displays, such as 3D TVs or 3D monitors.

A lossy method of compression for digital images. JPEG images are compressed to reduce their overall le size with minimal deterioration of the image resolution.

185

PAL (Phase Alternate Line)

A video color encoding standard used in numerous countries throughout Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.

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 le size.

RAW (CCD raw data)

The original, unprocessed data, collected directly from the camera’s image sensor. White Balance, contrast, saturation, sharpness, and other data can be manipulated with editing software before the image is compressed into a standard le format.

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.

186

Page 97

Appendix > Glossary

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.
