Important Information

Wa rn in g s

Sa fe t y Wa rn in g s

• To prevent fire or shock hazard, use only the recommended accessories

and attachments.

Op e ra t io n a l Wa rn in g s

• Do not use IEEE 1394 repeaters when connecting your camera. Doing

so can damage the camera.

• Be sure the connector orientation is correct when you connect the IEEE

1394 cable to the computer. Connecting incorrectly can damage your

camera or computer. At the computer connection, the point on the 6-pin

plug must align with the point on the computer port.

• Use extreme care when handling memory cards as they are easily

damaged. If a card is dropped, all data on the card can be lost.

• Do not remove a memory card, the KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Pro

Battery, or the KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Pro DC Power Module from

the camera while the memory card icon on the Digital Status LCD or the

Card Busy LED are blinking. The blinking indicates that data is being

read from or written to the card. You may lose data if you remove a card

at this time.

• Operate your camera only from the type of power source indicated on

the name plate of the KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Pro DC Power

Module. A line voltage outside this range can destroy the power module

and/or the camera.

• Use only the KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Pro DC Power Module included

with your camera or available from Kodak as an accessory. Do not plug

other adapters into the camera.

• The KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Pro DC Power Module is for indoor use

only.

The depth of field is the zone of acceptable focus in front of and behind the

subject.

• Press the Depth of Field Preview button to confirm the depth of field

through the viewfinder.

Pressing the Depth of Field Preview button stops the lens down to the

aperture controlled in Programmed Auto or Shutter-Priority Auto

Exposure mode, and down to the aperture selected in Aperture-Priority

Auto or Manual Exposure mode. By looking through the viewfinder, you

can confirm the approximate depth of field with the given aperture.

De p t h o f Fie ld

Your camera is equipped with autofocus where focusing is automatically

executed.

When focusing, you should consider depth of field. Depth of field is the

zone of sharpest focus in front of and behind the subject on which the lens

is focused. Depth of field varies according to shooting distance, focal

length, and especially aperture.

Smaller apertures (larger f-numbers) produce a deeper depth of field

where the background and foreground become sharper. Larger apertures

(smaller f-numbers) produce a shallower depth of field where the

background becomes blurred.

Similarly, shorter shooting distance or longer focal length produce a

shallower depth of field, and longer shooting distance or shorter focal

length produce a deeper depth of field. Note that depth of field tends to be

shallower in front of the subject in focus and deeper behind the subject.

NOTE: Confirm the depth of field with the Depth of Field Preview button.

Continuous Shooting Drive mode Notes:

• When AF mode is set to AF

(Single AF mode) mode and the focus

indicator in the viewfinder is on, focus distance and exposure values are

fixed at the setting for the first image. If the subject moves or the scene

brightness changes, the lens focus and camera’s exposure may not be

correct for subsequent images. When AF mode is set to AF

mode

(Continuous AF mode), the camera continuously focuses on the subject.

However, you can release the Shutter button even if the Auto Focus

function has not completed. Therefore, images may be out of focus.

• When you use Continuous Shooting mode with external flash on the Hot

shoe, the camera’s frame rate may slow down. This is because the

camera will not capture images while the flash is re-charging.

• Images captured in rapid succession are initially stored in the camera's

internal memory buffer. This lets you continue shooting without having

to wait for images to be written to the CF card. The internal memory

buffer can store about 20 images (at Raw 13.5 MP resolution). Once the

memory buffer is full, the shutter will be disabled until some images

have been transferred to the CF card.

Configuring your Camera

Le n s Op t im iza t io n

Ove rvie w

Some lenses produce a color shift in the corners of images. Your camera

has a feature that corrects this color shift to create a more uniform image.

There are three methods for controlling the strength of this correction.

Method one: Auto—(see page 5-32) This method automatically

determines the correction strength for each image based on analysis of the

image data. This feature works with m ost lenses and may be the only

method you ever need to use. When the camera is in Auto, all of the work is

done for you.

NOTE: The Auto method is recommended if your images are not showing

anomalies.

Method two: Manual—(see page 5-33) This method allows you to

directly input the correction strength. This method is provided for testing,

and is not for daily use.

Method three: Lens Selection—(see page 5-33) This method

determines the correction strength by selecting the specific lens you are

using. Since the camera cannot uniquely identify every lens attached, you

must select the lens from a list. Your camera contains a master list of

commonly used, current model lenses from several manufacturers. You

can easily add additional lenses to the master list. There is a conveniently

accessible user list for the lenses you use most often. The camera can

usually automatically identify and select the current lens if it is in the user

list. It is easy to maintain this list by adding and removing lenses.

The master list includes default correction strengths for each lens.

Sometimes these defaults are not ideal. You can adjust the strength for any

lens in the master list. If you define new lenses (see page 5-39), you will

need to set the strengths for them as well.

We recommend that you try the Auto method first and only use the Lens

Selection method if you are not satisfied with the results of the automatic

optimization.

If you have selected a lens from the user list and you later change the lens,

you should select the new lens before shooting. If you capture an image

and the lens does not match your selection, the camera will attempt to

automatically select the new lens. The camera will ask you for help if it is

uncertain which lens you are using. One of the following events will occur:

• If there is one possible match in the user list or the master list, that lens

is automatically selected.

• If there are two or more possible matches in the user list or the master

list, the list of possible matches appears.

• If there are no possible matches in the user list or the master list, the

camera switches to Auto.

NOTE: If you use the wrong lens in Basic mode, the Auto method will be

used.

With two or more matches:

1. Press the OK button to dismiss the screen.

2. Select a lens and press the OK button.

Sa vin g a List

If you have made any chages to a list in the camera, we recommend that

you save it to a memory card. This combines the user list and master list

and provides a backup copy. If your camera needs repair and the original

list cannot be saved, your backup copy can be loaded.

If you use more than one KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Pro SLR/c Digital

Camera, you can save time by creating the user list of commonly used

lenses on one camera, then loading it into the others.

1. Insert a memory card in the camera.

2. Choose Lens Optimization from the Capture menu, choose Setup, then

choose Save List.

3. Press the OK button.

The list is saved to the root directory of the memory card as lens.txt.

IMPORTANT: Do not edit or rename this file. If you do, it may not

work properly in the camera.

Lo a d in g a List

IMPORTANT: Save your current user list to your computer before

loading a new one. The new list will be merged with

your current list and new lenses or changes not already

in the camera will be applied. If you change the

strengths for a lens, and there are changes for that lens

in the new list, your changes will be overwritten.

1. Insert the memory card containing the list in the camera.

2. Choose Lens Optimization from the Capture menu, choose Setup, then

choose Load List.

3. Press the OK button.

4. Press OK in response to the confirmation screen.

Ch a n g in g t h e St re n g t h

You can change the strength of a lens in the user list two ways:

• Reset the lens to factory defaults (see page 5-46). (This feature is

available only for lenses that were in the master list.)

• Determine the optimum strengths using Photo Desk (see page 5-44),

then assign the strengths to the camera (see page 5-45).

De t e rm in in g t h e Op t im u m

St re n g t h

Do the following when you are changing the strengths of a lens in the user

list or when you are using the Manual method (see page 5-32):

1. Capture an image of a gray card at normal exposure. (Fill the frame

with the gray card.)

2. On your computer, open the image in Photo Desk.

If the lens optimization strength is too low, the corners of the image

appear green or yellow.

If the lens optimization strength is too high, the corners of the image

appear blue or magenta.

3. In Photo Desk, use Click Balance at the center of the image.

4. Click Lens Optimization, then adjust the slider to make the corners

neutral. The number for the appropriate strength appears. Click OK.

5. Make a note of this number so you can assign it to the lens

(see page 5-45).

6. Repeat steps 1 - 5 for all combinations of minimum/maximum focal

length, and minimum/maximum aperture.

NOTE: Refer to the Help for Photo Desk for more information.

File Typ e s

Your camera can save images as Raw or JPEG files.

Raw (.dcr) files can be opened by KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Photo

Desk. Raw images can be thought of as "digital negatives." They preserve all

image information so you can apply the DCS-specific image enhancements

available in DCS Photo Desk.

JPEG (.jpg) files are smaller and can be opened directly by any image

editing software. You can choose ERI (Extended Range Imaging) JPEG or

Standard JPEG.

NOTE: Repeated saves of any JPEG image can degrade image quality.

NOTE: No more than 2000 files, including hidden system files, can be

stored on memory cards inside the camera.

Ch o o sin g t h e File Typ e t o When you use one memory card, you can specify that captured images are

b e Writ t e n t o a Ca rd

saved to the card as Raw, JPEG, or Raw+JPEG. (With Raw+JPEG, both file

types are written to the card.)

When you use two cards, you can specify that one card is standby or that

captured images are saved to both cards as Raw, JPEG, or Raw+JPEG.

When one card is set to standby, no images are written to that card until the

other card is full. When the other card is full, subsequently captured

images are written to the standby card using the same file type. When

neither card is standby, captured images are written to both cards. (You

can write different file types to two cards, for example, Raw to one card and

JPEG to the other.) You can also choose the JPEG file type.

The following table provides examples of some ways to set up file types:

File Typ e a n d ISO

The ISO range for Raw files is 160 to 1600. The ISO range for JPEG files is

160 to 800. This difference can affect your ISO settings when you change

file types.

This effect is demonstrated in the following example:

1. Choose Raw and set an ISO greater than 800 (for example, 1600).

2. Choose JPEG or Raw + JPEG.

The ISO changes to 800 for the Raw and the JPEG files.

3. Choose Raw.

The ISO remains at 800. You will need to reset the ISO if you want a

higher setting.

Fo rm a t t in g Ca rd s

You may need to format a card if it was formatted incorrectly or if the data

on the card becomes corrupted. If you have used a card for several

sessions (for example, two or three dozen), you may want to format it on

the camera you will be using so that the full capacity of the card is

available. (Deleting images does not reclaim all space on the card.)

There are two ways to format a card:

Quick Format—Removes the directory structure but does not erase data.

This type of format takes relatively little time to complete. It may be

possible to recover files after a quick format if they have not been

overwritten.

Secure Erase—Erases all information and "cleans up" the card. This type

of format takes longer to complete. You cannot recover files after a secure

erase.

NOTE: Cards are formatted in PC DOS format.

1. Choose CF Card or SD Card from the Capture menu, then highlight

Quick Format or Secure Erase.

2. Press the OK button to format the card and dismiss the confirmation

screen. (Press the Cancel button to dismiss the confirmation screen

capturing images. Your KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Pro SLR/c Digital

Camera (DCS Pro SLR/c) offers two types of White Balance: Preset and

Click. When you specify a Preset or Click Balance option, that setting is

applied to subsequently captured images.

Preset options include Auto, Daylight, Tungsten, Fluorescent, and Flash.

Click Balance lets you:

• Specify an area on the currently selected image from which the RGB

values are used to color balance subsequently captured images

• Use a previously saved setting

• Save a click balance setting

• Load a click balance setting from a card

• Delete a click balance setting from the camera

Shortcut:

• You can also access this function using the Digital Status LCD shortcut.

Controlling Exposure

Exp o su re

Exp o su re Me t e rin g Mo d e s You can choose from three Exposure metering modes. Select the mode

which best suits your subject’s lighting and the exposure effect you desire.

Ch o o sin g a Me t e rin g Mo d e

• Press and hold the Metering Mode button, then turn the C-Dial to select

a Metering mode.

8 Segment metering:

Your camera measures the scene brightness by independently

measuring eight areas of the scene. It then analyzes the data and

sets the correct exposure for the main subject.

Even under strong back lighting or complex lighting situations,

your camera will give you the correct exposure.

Center Area metering:

Your camera measures the scene brightness only within the

circle in the viewfinder. This mode is suitable when you wish to

base the exposure on a very small portion of the scene and

ignore the lighting or brightness of rest of the scene.

Average metering:

[ ]

Your camera measures the average brightness of the entire

scene with special emphasis on the center area. It then

calculates the best exposure for this average brightness.

Exp o su re Mo d e s

In selecting the Exposure mode, you can choose whether you want to set

the shutter speed and/or lens aperture automatically or manually.

Your camera has four exposure modes:

• Program Auto Exposure (P)

• Aperture Priority AE (A)

• Shutter Speed Priority AE (S)

• Manual (M)

Pro g ra m Au t o Exp o su re

Mo d e

In Program AE mode, the camera automatically selects an appropriate

combination of shutter speed and aperture values. The combination is

based on a variety of factors, including the selected Exposure Metering

mode, the brightness of the scene, and the ISO setting.

1. Rotate the D-Dial to the desired setting in the Drive area.

2. Set the Mode Selector lever to P.

3. Lightly press the Shutter button to verify the focus and exposure

display in the viewfinder.

If the subject is too bright or dark, both shutter speed and aperture

value indicators blink and will show the limit values. If you capture an

image with these settings, the image will be overexposed or

underexposed.

When the blinks, the shutter speed is slow and the image can be

blurred. In this case, increase the ISO or use a flash.

Ap e rt u re Prio rit y Au t o

Exp o su re Mo d e

In Aperture Priority AE mode, you control the depth of field by varying the

aperture. After you set the aperture, the camera determines the appropriate

shutter speed. When you select smaller apertures (larger f-numbers), the

depth of field is greater, which is desirable for landscape photography. A

larger aperture has a smaller depth of field, tending to blur the

background. This would be appropriate for portrait photography.

1. Rotate the D-Dial to the desired setting in the Drive area.

2. Set the Mode Selector lever to A.

3. Lightly press the Shutter button to verify the focus, and select the

desired aperture value by rotating the C-Dial.

4. Verify the setting in the viewfinder.

If the appropriate shutter speed is out of the range due to the subject

being too bright or too dark, the shutter speed indicator blinks. If the

subject is too bright, set the aperture value to a smaller one (larger

f-number). If the subject is too dark, set the aperture value to a larger

one (smaller f-number) until the indicator stops blinking. You may

also adjust the ISO setting, which causes the exposure value to

change.

Flash Photography

Ava ila b le Fe a t u re s

The following features are available when y o u use a compatible flash unit

with the DCS Pro SLR/c:

• E-TTL autoflash

• High-Speed sync (see page 10-4)

• Flash Exposure lock (see page 10-4)

• Flash Exposure compensation (see page 10-5)

• Flash Exposure bracketing (see page 10-5)

• E-TTL wireless autoflash with multiple flash units (see page 10-5)

NOTE: The maximum flash sync speed is at a shutter speed of 1/180 sec.

When you are performing flash photography using a flash mounted

on the Hot Shoe, if the Top Status LCD displays a value of 200, the

actual shutter speed is 1/180 sec.

E-TTL Au t o fla sh

With E-TTL (Evaluative Through the Lens) Autoflash, the correct flash

exposure is determined by the DCS Pro SL R /c. T h e E-TTL Autoflash works in

any Auto Exposure mode. However, you may w a nt to use a tripod to avoid

camera shake for situations where a slow sync speed has been set. The

standard shutter speed range for all flash units is 30 sec. to 1/180 sec.

1. Select one of the following:

Program AE mode (see page 7-8)

Aperture Priority AE mode (see page 7-11).

Shutter Speed Priority AE mode (see page 7-12)

Manual mode (see page 7-13)

2. Turn on the flash and verify that the flash charges and its ready light

comes on. Follow the instructions in the flash manual to put it into

E-TTL mode.

The Viewfinder Flash indicator should be on and not flashing.

3. In Program Auto Exposure mode:

• Focus the subject.

In Aperture Priority AE, Shutter Speed Priority AE, or Manual mode:

• Lightly press the Shutter button to verify settings.

4. Fully press the Shutter button to capture the image.

Flash Photography

Hig h Sp e e d Syn c Mo d e

Use High Speed Sync mode (FP Flash) when you want a shutter speed

higher than 1/180 sec. For example, you might use this mode in daylight to

blur the background by using a larger aperture, to create a catchlight in the

subject’s eyes, or to fill in the shadows on the subject’s face.

1. Set the flash to High Speed Sync mode.

2. Set the Exposure mode to either S or M, then set the desired shutter

speed.

Fla sh Exp o su re Lo ck

Use Flash Exposure Lock (FE Lock) to control the exposure of a specific

area within a scene.

1. Select Normal or High Speed Sync mode on your hot shoe mounted

flash.

2. Turn on the flash and verify that the flash charges and its ready light,

turns on.

3. Focus on the subject.

4. Aim the camera so that the area of the scene where flash exposure is

to be locked appears in the Center Area Metering circle in the

Viewfinder.

5. Press and hold the AEL button on the camera and lightly press the

Shutter button.

The flash fires and the camera calculates the Flash Exposure Lock.

6. Continue to press the AEL button and release the Shutter button.

The AEL icon in the viewfinder will be on.

7. R e compose the scene. L i ghtly press the Shutter button, then capture

the image.

There are two ways to access KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Pro SLR/c Digital

Camera (DCS Pro SLR/c) images from your computer:

• Connect the camera to the computer using an IEEE 1394 cable, then

capture images using the KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Camera Manager

software. If you use DCS Camera Manager’s Capture Preview mode, you

can view images on your computer as they are captured. Once DCS

Camera Manager transfers images to your computer, you can open,

adjust, and process them using the KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Photo

Desk software.

• Remove the memory card from the camera, insert it into a card reader,

then open the images using DCS Photo Desk.

CAUTION:

Do not use IEEE 1394 repeaters when connecting your

camera. Doing so can damage the camera.

Connect your camera to the computer using an IEEE 1394 cable. This cable

is needed to quickly transfer images from the camera to the computer. You

can leave the camera and computer on while connecting or disconnecting

the two.

You must have an IEEE 1394 connection available on your computer.

1. Connect the KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Pro Charger/AC Adapter or

charge and insert the KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Pro Battery.

NOTE: Although you can use a battery, it is highly recommended that you

use the charger/adapter as insurance against possible loss of data

if the battery should lose its charge.

2. Install the KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Host Software for Macintosh or

Windows-based computers if you have not already done so.

3. Connect the 6-pin end of the cable into any available port on the IEEE

1394 adapter card on your computer.

CAUTION:

Be sure the connector orientation is correct when you

connect the IEEE 1394 cable to the computer. Connecting

incorrectly can damage your camera or computer. At the

computer connection, the point on the 6-pin plug must align

with the point on the computer port.

NOTE: The adapter card may have multiple ports.

4. Connect the 4-pin end of the IEEE 1394 cable to the IEEE 1394 port on

your camera.

NOTE: If the camera has an IEEE 1394 connection to a computer that is

turned on, the camera never enters the Battery Save state. As long

as the IEEE 1394 connection remains, the camera stays "awake",

checking to see if the KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Camera

Manager is running on the computer.

Ha n d lin g

With careful handling, your KODAK PROFESSIONAL DCS Pro SLR/c Digital

Camera (DCS Pro SLR/c) should produce images of the highest quality for

years to come.

• Be careful not to drop your camera or subject it to shock. (While the

camera has been designed for durability, it is a precision instrument and

should be handled with care.)

• Keep the camera out of salt spray and protect it from excessive moisture.

If you use it at the beach, clean it thoroughly afterward with a dry cloth.

• Do not leave the camera in an excessively hot place.

• Do not touch the camera’s electronic contacts with your fingers.

Touching the contacts can cause corrosion and affect proper camera

operation.

• After removing a lens from the camera, place the lens face down on a flat

surface to avoid damaging the electronic contacts on the lens mount.

• Condensation is a problem when bringing cold equipment into a warm

place. If the autofocus optics cloud over, accuracy may be seriously

affected. Before entering a warm place, put equipment in a plastic bag so

that condensation forms on the outside of the bag.

• A spray gun-type blower may damage the optical glass if used to clean

the lens. To avoid damage, hold the blower upright with its nozzle more

than 30 cm (approximately 12 in.) from the lens surface, and keep the

nozzle moving so that the stream of air is not concentrated in one spot.

Camera Care

Cle a n in g

CAUTION:

Remove the lens from the camera before cleaning.

1. Turn off the camera.

2. Disconnect the camera from the AC adapter and from the computer.

3. Using a clean, damp cloth, clean only the outside of the camera body,

the Top Status LCD, the Back Status LCD, and the Image LCD.

NOTE: Do not use liquid cleaners or aerosol cleaners on the outside of

the camera.

4. Clean the viewfinder eyepiece with a soft, clean cloth. Do not use

alcohol.

5. To remove dust from the mirror or the focusing screen, gently blow

the dust away using a commercially available bulb-type blower. Avoid

directly touching any of these surfaces.

6. Clean the lens surface with a blower brush. To remove dirt and

smudges, remove the lens from the camera, then use a soft, clean

cotton cloth or lens tissue moistened with lens cleaner. Wipe in a

circular motion from center to outer edge, taking care not to leave

traces and not to touch the other lens parts.

NOTE: Do not lubricate the camera, lens, or lens contacts.

Camera Care

Th e Im a g e r

Light from the scene you are photographing strikes the imager when the

camera’s shutter is open. The imager converts this light into a digital image.

If the imager’s cover glass gets dirty, the quality of your images will be

affected.

De t e rm in in g if t h e Im a g e r Even though the imager is located inside the camera, it can get dirty. There

are two ways to determine whether it needs cleaning:

• Examine a test image and look for imperfections that indicate dirt on the

imager.

• Visually inspect the imager for dirt.

Exa m in in g a Te st Im a g e

1. Capture an image of a plain white object, such as a clean, white wall.

2. Examine the image on the computer using the KODAK PROFESSIONAL

DCS Photo Desk software. Imperfections in the image, such as dark

clusters or streaks, may indicate a dirty imager.

Camera Care

St o rin g

Carefully check the camera’s operation after lengthy storage, when the

camera has not been used for a long time, or before an important trip or

shooting assignment.

• When storing your camera, wrap it in a clean, soft cloth and place it in a

well-ventilated, cool, dry, dust-free place.

• Keep the camera out of direct sunlight and away from hot spots such as

the trunk or rear window shelf of a car.

• Avoid places where chemical agents such as moth balls are used.

• To prevent corrosion, avoid storing the camera in a laboratory or other

location where chemicals are used.

• Do not store the camera in a drawer or other non-ventilated place.

• Remove the battery if you do not expect to use the camera for several

days.

• Take the camera out and release the shutter occasionally to assure

camera function.

• In a humid environment, store the camera inside a vinyl bag with a

desiccant to keep out dust, moisture and salt.

IMPORTANT: A minute amount of battery power is used even when

the camera is turned off. This will affect the camera’s

shooting capacity after several days of storage.

Glo ssa ry

AE (Au t o m a t ic Exp o su re )

By using a built-in exposure meter, the camera determines the correct

exposure value, which is combinations of shutter speed and/or aperture

value.

AE (Au t o m a t ic Exp o su re )

lo ck

The camera fixes and memorizes the exposure value with AE lock. For

example, if a photographic subject is placed in the center and exposure

value of the composition is fixed, the brightness of the background will not

influence the exposure, even if the composition changes and the subject is

moved from the center of a screen. (Use the AE lock button.)

AF (Au t o Fo cu s)

AF Lo ck

Using a built-in sensor, the camera adjusts the focusing automatically.

In AF mode, you can lock the focus on the main subject. For example,

compose the desired subject in the center of the viewfinder. With the focus

locked at the same setting, you can re-compose the picture with the subject

off-center and capture images.(Press the Shutter button half-way to use this

feature.)

Ap e rt u re

The lens opening of the iris diaphragm inside the lens. The amount of light,

which strikes the image sensor, is adjusted by the iris diaphragm. The

f-number (focal length/diameter of the aperture) indicates the size of this

opening. The aperture size can be made larger or smaller. A large aperture

(low f-number) gives bright results and a small aperture (high f-number)

gives darker results.

Au t o Po w e r-Off

CMOS

For saving the battery power, your camera automatically turns off if you do

not touch any camera controls.

Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) can perform signal

amplification on a per-pixel basis. Significant current flows only during the

switching operation. Therefore a CMOS image sensor can scan data rapidly,

sustain high-speed operation and consume less energy.

Co lo r t e m p e ra t u re

The numerical expression of the tone of the light, produced by a light

source. The standard unit for color temperature is degrees Kelvin (K). Low

color temperature implies warmer, more yellow/red light while high color

temperature implies a colder, more blue light. The typical color

temperature of tungsten light is 3200 K, a personal computer is 9300 K.

April 28, 2004

Glossary-1

De p t h o f fie ld

The zone of sharpest focus in front of, behind, and around the subject.

EV (Exp o su re va lu e )

A numeric value that expresses the amount of light for a given exposure. It

depends on the brightness of the photographic subject and the sensitivity of

the imager. If a photographic subject is bright, the EV will be large, and if

the subject is dark, the EV will be small. If twice the amount of light reaches

the imager’s surface, the difference in exposure value will be +1, and if half

the amount of light reaches the imager’s surface, the exposure value

changes by -1.

Exp o su re

The amount of light reaching the image's surface. The exposure is

controlled by the combination of aperture and shutter speed.

Exp o su re Co m p e n sa t io n

Exp o su re m o d e s

This function lets you intentionally overexpose or underexpose a picture.

Program Auto: Camera sets both shutter speed and aperture for correct

exposure.

Shutter Priority Auto: You select the shutter speed and the camera sets

the appropriate aperture for correct exposure.

Aperture Priority Auto: You select the aperture and the camera sets

appropriate shutter speed for correct exposure.

Manual: You select both shutter speed and aperture, according to

indications on the exposure meter

f-n u m b e r

Hist o g ra m

The numbers on the lens aperture ring that indicate the relative size of the

lens aperture opening.

The image histogram shows the range and distribution of tonal values for an

image. The tick marks at the bottom of the histogram represent

photographic stops relative to the factory-determined 18% gray level. The

range of stops is from +3 to -7. The double bar tick mark indicates the

exposure value associated with 18% gray. Tick marks to the right of the

double mark indicate one-stop increments brighter than 18% gray, and tick

marks to the left indicate one-stop increments darker than 18% gray.

ISO

ISO is the international standard for representing film sensitivity. The higher

the number, the greater the sensitivity, and vice versa. For example, ISO 200

is twice as sensitive as ISO 100, and half that of ISO 400. When you change

the ISO setting on your camera, you adjust the sensitivity of the imager

equivalent to the corresponding film sensitivity.

JPEG

Joint Photographic Experts Group has established a standard method for

compressing and decompressing digitized images. If the rate of

compression is high, the file size will be small but picture quality will be

decreased.

LCD

Liquid Crystal Display. Your camera has four: the Top Status LCD panel,

Back Status LCD panel, Image LCD panel, and the LCD inside the viewfinder.

Micro d rive

Developed by IBM, Microdrives are small, hard disks that can fit in a

CompactCard memory slot. The Microdrive is built into a Type II

CompactFlash form factor.

NTST

National Television Standards Committee (NTSC) video format is primarily

used in the United States, Japan, Canada etc. NTSC is a standard for

television and videos, which defines a composite video signal with a refresh

rate of 60 half-frames (interlaced) per second. Each frame contains 525

lines and can contain 16 million different colors.

PAL

Phase Alternating Line (PAL), video format primarily used in Europe,

excluding France, as well as Australia and parts of the Far East. PAL delivers

625 lines at 50 half-frames per second.

RAW

The RAW image format is the data as it comes directly from the image

sensor of the camera. No in-camera processing is performed before

transferring the image to computer.

Sh u t t e r Sp e e d

Wh it e b a la n ce

The camera's shutter opens for a length of time to control the amount of

light that reaches the imaging element. The length of time the shutter blinds

are open allowing light to strike the image sensor is called shutter speed.

The human eye and brain adapt to changes in lighting conditions, not only

to intensity, but also to the color characteristic of the light source, so that

colors of the objects look normal or accurate. For example, a white object

will appear white whether it is viewed under sunlight, tungsten or

fluorescent illumination. Your camera must be adjusted, so that colors will

be represented accurately, under different types of illumination. This

adjustment is called white balance.
