Glossary<br />

Compression rate<br />

Compression is a method of reducing file size by abbreviating some contents of<br />

data, and compression rate denotes the amount of compression. The actual effect<br />

of the selected compression rate could vary with the content of the image. The<br />

numbers for the compression rate selected with this camera provide only a<br />

general scale for reference and are not precise measurements.<br />

Conventional Photograph<br />

This refers to recording images using silver halide (the method for recording<br />

images in conventional, non-digital photography). This system is in contrast to still<br />

video and digital photography.<br />

DCF (Design rule for Camera File system)<br />

A standard for image files by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology<br />

Industries Association (JEITA).<br />

Depth of Field<br />

Depth of Field refers to the distance from the nearest to the furthest point of<br />

perceived "sharp" focus in a picture.<br />

Digital ESP (Electro-Selective Pattern) Light Metering<br />

This determines the exposure by metering and calculating the light levels in the<br />

center and other areas of the image separately.<br />

DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)<br />

This is for saving desired print settings on digital cameras. By entering which<br />

images to print and the number of copies of each, the user can easily have the<br />

desired images printed by a printer or print lab that supports the DPOF format.<br />

Eclipsing (Vignetting)<br />

This refers to when an object obscures part of the field of view so that the whole<br />

subject is not photographed. Vignetting also refers to when the image seen<br />

through the viewfinder does not exactly match the image shot through the<br />

objective lens, so the photographed image includes objects not seen through the<br />

viewfinder. In addition, vignetting can occur when an incorrect lens hood is used,<br />

causing shadowing to appear in the corners of the image.<br />

EV (Exposure Value)<br />

A system for measuring exposure. EV0 is when the aperture is at F1 and the<br />

shutter speed is 1 second. The EV then increases by 1 each time the aperture<br />

increases by one F stop or the shutter speed increases by one increment. EV can<br />

also be used to indicate brightness and ISO settings.<br />
