Glossary of terms Eclipsing (Vignetting) This refers to when an object obscures part of the field of view so that the whole subject is not photographed. Vignetting also refers to when the image seen through the viewfinder does not exactly match the image shot through the objective lens, so the photographed image includes objects not seen through the viewfinder. In addition, vignetting can occur when an incorrect lens hood is used, causing shadowing to appear in the corners of the image. ESP (Electro-Selective Pattern) Light Metering/Digital ESP Light Metering This determines the exposure by metering and calculating the light levels in the center and other areas of the image separately. EV (Exposure Value) A system for measuring exposure. EV0 is when the aperture is at F1 and the shutter speed is 1 second. The EV then increases by 1 each time the aperture increases by one F stop or the shutter speed increases by one increment. EV can also be used to indicate brightness and ISO settings. Exposure The amount of light used to capture an image. The exposure is determined by the time the shutter is open (shutter speed) and the amount of light that passes through the lens (aperture). Flash Bracket A mount used to attach an external flash to the camera. Shadows on the subject can be changed by detaching the flash. The flash is used in combination with the flash cable. ISO A method for indicating film speed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) (e.g. "ISO100"). Higher ISO values indicate greater sensitivity to light, so images can be exposed even in low-light conditions. JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) A compression format for still images. Photographs (images) shot using this 11 camera are recorded onto the card in JPEG format when the Record mode is set to SHQ, HQ, SQ1 or SQ2. By downloading these images to a personal computer, users can edit them using graphics application software or view the images using an Internet web browser. M (Manual) Mode The user sets both the aperture and shutter speed. 220 Miscellaneous

Miscellaneous

Eclipsing (Vignetting)

This refers to when an object obscures part of the field of view so that the

whole subject is not photographed. Vignetting also refers to when the image

seen through the viewfinder does not exactly match the image shot through

the objective lens, so the photographed image includes objects not seen

through the viewfinder. In addition, vignetting can occur when an incorrect

lens hood is used, causing shadowing to appear in the corners of the image.

ESP (Electro-Selective Pattern) Light Metering/Digital ESP

Light Metering

This determines the exposure by metering and calculating the light levels in

the center and other areas of the image separately.

EV (Exposure Value)

A system for measuring exposure. EV0 is when the aperture is at F1 and the

shutter speed is 1 second. The EV then increases by 1 each time the aperture

increases by one F stop or the shutter speed increases by one increment. EV

can also be used to indicate brightness and ISO settings.

Exposure

The amount of light used to capture an image. The exposure is determined

by the time the shutter is open (shutter speed) and the amount of light that

passes through the lens (aperture).

Flash Bracket

A mount used to attach an external flash to the camera. Shadows on the

subject can be changed by detaching the flash. The flash is used in

combination with the flash cable.

ISO

A method for indicating film speed by the International Organization for

Standardization (ISO) (e.g. “ISO100”). Higher ISO values indicate greater

sensitivity to light, so images can be exposed even in low-light conditions.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

A compression format for still images. Photographs (images) shot using this

camera are recorded onto the card in JPEG format when the Record mode is

set to SHQ, HQ, SQ1 or SQ2. By downloading these images to a personal

computer, users can edit them using graphics application software or view the

images using an Internet web browser.

M (Manual) Mode

The user sets both the aperture and shutter speed.
