202 Glossary AdobeRGB Color space recommended by Adobe Systems, Inc. for commercial printing. Wider range of color reproduction than sRGB. Covers most of the color range so colors only available when printed are not lost when editing images on a computer. When image is opened by non-compatible software, the colors look lighter. AE Metering Brightness of subject is measured to determine exposure. In this camera, select from [Multi-segment Metering], [Center-weighted Metering] and [Spot Metering]. Aperture The aperture increases or reduces the light beam (thickness) passing through the lens to the CCD. 6 Auto Bracket For automatically changing the shooting conditions. When the shutter button is pressed, three images are shot. The first one has no compensation, the second is underexposed and the third is over-exposed. Bright Portion Overexposed area in the image loses contrast and appears white. Camera Shake (Blur) When the camera moves while the shutter is open, the entire image appears blurred. This occurs more often when shutter speed is low. Prevent camera shake by raising the sensitivity, using the flash, and raising the shutter speed. Alternatively, use a tripod to stabilize the camera. As camera shakes are mostly likely to occur when pressing the shutter release button, use the Shake Reduction function, the self-timer, the remote control unit, and the cable switch to prevent camera movement. CCD (Charge Coupled Devices) Photography element which converts the light entering through the lens into electric signals that create the image. Appendix
