Appendix
Glossary
Anaglyph mode
Anaglyph mode enables a 3D effect to be applied to images when they 
are viewed through optical devices such as special glasses. The camera 
captures two separate images in red and cyan (chromatically opposite 
colors). The images are combined and when viewed through special 
glasses, with red and cyan colored filters, a 3D effect is achieved.
AP (Access Point)
An access point is a device that allows wireless devices to connect to a 
wired network.
Ad-Hoc network
An ad-hoc network is a temporary connection for sharing files or an 
internet connection and between computers and devices.
AdobeRGB
Adobe RGB is used for commercial printing and has a larger color range 
than sRGB. Its wider range of colors helps you easily edit photos on a 
computer.
AEB (Auto Exposure Bracket)
This feature automatically captures several images at different exposures 
to help you capture a properly-exposed image.
AEL/AFL (Auto Exposure Lock/Auto Focus Lock)
These features help you to lock the exposure or focus settings for a subject.
AF (Auto Focus)
A system that automatically focuses the camera lens on the subject. Your 
camera uses contrast to focus automatically.
AMOLED (Active-matrix organic light-emitting diode)/ 
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
AMOLED is a very thin and light visual display that does not require 
backlighting. LCD is a visual display commonly used in consumer 
electronics. An LCD display needs a separate backlight, such as CCFL or 
LED lights, to reproduce colors. 
						

							227
Appendix > Glossary
Color space
The range of colors that the camera can identify and reproduce in photos.
Color temperature
Color Temperature is a measurement in degrees Kelvin (K) that indicates 
the hue of a specific type of light source. As the color temperature 
increases, the color of the light source has a more bluish quality. As the 
color temperature decreases, the color of the light source has a more 
reddish quality. At 5,500 degrees Kelvin, the color of the light source is 
similar to the sun at midday.
Composition
Composition in photography means arranging objects in a photo. Usually, 
abiding by the rule of thirds leads to a good composition.
DCF (Design rule for Camera File system)
A specification that defines a file format and file system for digital cameras 
created by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries 
Association (JEITA).
Aperture
The aperture controls the amount of light that reaches the camera’s sensor.
Bluetooth
This feature allows you to exchange files with other devices.
Camera shake (Blur)
If the camera is moved while the shutter is open, the entire image may 
appear blurred. This occurs more often when the shutter speed is slow. 
Prevent camera shake by raising the sensitivity, using the flash, or using 
a faster shutter speed. Alternatively, use a tripod or the OIS function to 
stabilize the camera.
Cloud Computing
Cloud computing is a technology that allows you to store data on remote 
servers and to use it from a device with Internet access.

Appendix > Glossary
Exif (Exchangeable Image File Format)
A specification that defines an image file format for digital cameras created 
by the Japan Electronic Industries Development Association (JEIDA).
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.
Depth of field
The distance between the nearest and farthest points that can be 
acceptably focused in a photograph. Depth of field varies with lens 
aperture, focal length, and distance from the camera to the subject. 
Selecting a smaller aperture, for example, will increase the depth of field 
and blur the background of a composition.
Electronic first curtain shutter
The sensor acts as the first curtain of the shutter. With this function, 
the shutter reacts faster because no process is needed to operate the 
mechanical curtain.
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. 
						

							229
Appendix > Glossary
ISO sensitivity
The sensitivity of the camera to light, based on the equivalent film speed 
used in a film camera. At higher ISO settings, the camera can use a higher 
shutter speed to reduce blur caused by camera shake and low light. 
However, images with a high ISO setting are more susceptible to noise.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
A lossy method of compression for digital images. JPEG images are 
compressed to reduce their overall file size with minimal deterioration of 
the image resolution.
Metering
The metering refers to the way in which the camera measures the quantity 
of light to set the exposure.
MF (Manual Focus)
A system that manually focuses the camera lens on the subject.  
You can use the focus ring to focus on a subject.
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.
HEVC
High-efficiency Video Coding format, established by the international 
standard organizations ISO-IEC and ITU-T. This codec is capable of 
providing good video quality at low bit rates.
Image sensor
The physical part of a digital camera that contains a photosite for each 
pixel in the image. Each photosite records the brightness of the light that 
strikes it during an exposure. Common sensor types are CCD (Charge-
coupled Device) and CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor).
IP (Internet protocol) address
An IP address is a unique number that is assigned to every device that is 
connected to the internet.
