AE (Automatic Exposure) The camera's built-in exposure meter automatically sets the exposure. The 3 AE modes available on this camera are P mode, in which the camera selects both the aperture and shutter speed, A mode, in which the user selects the aperture and the camera sets the shutter speed, and S mode, in which the user selects the shutter speed and the camera sets the aperture. In M mode, the user selects both the aperture and the shutter speed. Aperture The adjustable lens opening which controls the amount of light that enters the camera. The larger the aperture, the shorter the depth of field and the fuzzier the background. The smaller the aperture, the greater the depth of field and the sharper the background. Aperture is measured in f/stops. Larger aperture values indicate smaller apertures, and smaller aperture values indicate larger apertures. AUTO mode Program AE mode (see "P (Program) Mode"). In addition, this mode features automatic flash pop up when shooting in low-light conditions. Center weighted averaging metering A light metering mode or technique that uses an average of the center and periphery of the image area but is biased toward the information at the center of the image area. This method is best used when the brightness of the center and periphery of the image area does not vary greatly. See also digital ESP metering and spot metering. Information Color space A model that describes colors using more than three coordinates. Color spaces such as sRGB, Adobe RGB are occasionally used for encoding/reproducing colors. Color temperature The spectral balance of different white light sources is rated numerically by color temperature - a concept of theoretical physics that, with incandescent lighting, corresponds roughly to the absolute lamp filament temperature, expressed on the Kelvin (K) temperature scale. The 13 higher the color temperature, the richer the light in bluish tones and the poorer in reddish; the lower the color temperature, the richer the light in reddish tones and the poorer in bluish. You may encounter difficulties with color reproduction when shooting indoors under fluorescent lighting, or where sunlight and fluorescent lighting are both present. Your camera is provided with a white balance adjustment feature that you can use to compensate for the odd effects of combinations of color you may occasionally see in your pictures. 133 EN
