The subject’s eyes  
appear red.  
This is caused by a reflection from the camera flash.  
Set the flash option to  
Red-eye or  
Red-eye Fix. (p. 54)  
If the photo has already been captured, select Red-eye Fix in the edit menu. (p. 95)  
Photos have dust  
spots.  
If dust particles are present in the air, you may capture them in photos when you use the flash.  
Turn off the flash or avoid capturing photos in a dusty place.  
Photos are blurred.  
This may be caused if you capture photos in low light conditions or hold the camera incorrectly. Use the  
DIS function or half-press [Shutter] to ensure the subject is focused. (p. 30)  
Photos are blurred  
when shooting at  
night.  
As the camera tries to let in more light, the shutter speed slows. This can make it difficult to steady the  
camera and may result in camera shake.  
Use a tripod to prevent your camera from shaking.

Cautions about using the battery  
When the battery charge has fully discharged, the battery icon will  
turn red and the "Low Battery" message will appear.  
Protect batteries, chargers, and memory cards from  
damage  
Prevent batteries from making contact with metal objects, as this  
can create a connection between the + and – terminals of your  
battery and lead to temporary or permanent battery damage and  
may cause a fire or electric shock.  
Notes about using the battery  
Avoid exposing batteries or memory cards to very cold or very  
hot temperatures (below 0 ºC/32 ºF or above 40 ºC/104 ºF).  
Extreme temperatures can reduce the charging capacity of your  
batteries and can cause memory cards to malfunction.  
Notes about charging the battery  
If the indicator light is off, make sure that the battery is inserted  
correctly.  
When you use the camera for an extended period, the area  
around the battery chamber may become warm. This does not  
affect the normal use of the camera.  
If the camera is on while charging, the battery may not fully  
charge. Turn off the camera before charging the battery.  
Do not pull the power supply cord to disconnect the plug from  
the power outlet, as this may cause a fire or electric shock.  
Do not use your camera when you charge the battery. This may  
cause a fire or electric shock.  
In temperatures below 0 ºC/32 ºF, battery capacity and battery  
life may decrease.  
Do not pull the power supply cord to disconnect the plug from  
the power outlet, as this may cause a fire or electric shock.  
Battery capacity may decrease in low temperatures but will  
return to normal in milder temperatures.  
Wait to turn on the camera until after the battery has charged for  
at least 10 minutes.  
If you connect the camera to an external power source while  
the battery is depleted, using some high energy-consuming  
functions will cause the camera to turn off. To use the camera  
normally, recharge the battery.

ACB (Auto Contrast Balance)  
Composition  
This feature automatically improves the contrast of your images  
when the subject is backlit or when there is a high contrast  
between your subject and the background.  
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)  
AEB (Auto Exposure Bracket)  
A specification to define a file format and file system for digital  
cameras created by the Japan Electronics and Information  
Technology Industries Association (JEITA).  
This feature automatically captures several images at different  
exposures to help you capture a properly-exposed image.  
AF (Auto Focus)  
Depth of field  
A system that automatically focuses the camera lens on the  
subject. Your camera uses the contrast to focus automatically.  
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.  
Aperture  
The aperture controls the amount of light that reaches the  
camera’s sensor.  
Digital zoom  
A feature that artificially increases the amount of zoom available  
with a zoom lens (Optical zoom). When using the Digital zoom,  
the image quality will deteriorate as the magnification increases.  
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. Alternately, use a  
tripod, the DIS or OIS function to stabilize the camera.  
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)  
A format for writing printing information, such as selected images  
and number of prints, on a memory card. DPOF-compatible  
printers, sometimes available at photo shops, can read the  
information from the card for convenient printing.  
Appendixes 128  
 
Glossary  
EV (Exposure Value)  
Focal length  
All the combinations of the camera’s shutter speed and lens  
aperture that result in the same exposure.  
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.  
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. Set the EV compensation to -1.0 EV to  
adjust the value one step darker and 1.0 EV to one step brighter.  
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.  
Exif (Exchangeable Image File Format)  
A specification to define an image file format for digital cameras  
created by the Japan Electronic Industries Development  
Association (JEIDA).  
H.264/MPEG-4  
A high-compression video format established by international  
standard organizations ISO-IEC and ITU-T. This codec is capable  
of providing good video quality at low bit rates developed by the  
Joint Video Team (JVT).  
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.  
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).  
Flash  
A speed light that helps to create adequate exposure in low-light  
conditions.  
Appendixes 129  
Glossary  
ISO sensitivity  
MJPEG (Motion JPEG)  
The sensitivity of the camera to light, based on the equivalent film  
speed used in a film camera. At higher ISO sensitivity settings,  
the camera uses a higher shutter speed, which can reduce blur  
caused by camera shake and low light. However, images with  
high sensitivity are more susceptible to noise.  
A video format which is compressed as a JPEG image.  
Noise  
Misinterpreted pixels in a digital image that may appear as  
misplaced or random, bright pixels. Noise usually occurs when  
photos are shot with a high sensitivity or when a sensitivity is  
automatically set in a dark place.  
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.  
Optical zoom  
This is a general zoom which can enlarge images with a lens and  
does not deteriorate quality of images.  
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)  
A visual display commonly used in consumer electronics. This  
display needs a separate backlight, such as CCFL or LED, to  
reproduce colors.  
Quality  
An expression of the rate of compression used in a digital image.  
Higher quality images have a lower rate of compression, which  
usually results in a larger file size.  
Macro  
This feature allows you to capture close-up photos of very small  
objects. When using the macro feature, the camera can maintain  
a sharp focus on small objects at a near life-size ratio (1:1).  
Resolution  
The number of pixels present in a digital image. High resolution  
images contain more pixels and typically show more detail than  
low resolution images.  
Metering  
The metering refers to the way in which the camera measures the  
quantity of light to set the exposure.  
Appendixes 130  
Glossary  
Shutter speed  
Shutter speed refers to the amount of time it takes to open and  
close the shutter, and it is an important factor in the brightness of  
a photo, as it controls the amount of light which passes through  
the aperture before it reaches the image sensor. A fast shutter  
speed allows less time to let light in and the photo becomes  
darker and more easily freezes subjects in motion.  
Vignetting  
A reduction of an image’s brightness or saturation at the periphery  
(outer edges) compared to the center of the image. Vignetting  
can draw interest to subjects positioned in the center of an  
image.  
White balance (color balance)  
An adjustment of the intensities of colors (typically the primary  
colors red, green, and blue), in an image. The goal of adjusting  
the white balance, or color balance, is to correctly render the  
colors in an image.
