Glossary

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 magnified. 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.

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.

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. Set the EV compensation to -1.0 EV to

adjust the value one step darker and 1.0 EV to one step brighter.

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).
