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.
Auto Bracket
For automatically changing the shooting conditions. An image with no
compensation, an underexposed image and an over-exposed image are
captured. Features exposure bracket that captures images in different
exposures, and extended bracket that captures images with set white
balance, saturation, sharpness, and contrast levels.
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 shake is 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.
