Standing photography
Compose your shot; stand up straight with your feet shoulder-length
apart, and keep your elbows pointed down.
Shooting postures
A correct posture for stabilizing the camera is necessary for taking a
good photo. Even if you hold a camera correctly, the wrong posture
can cause the camera to shake. Stand up straight and remain still to
maintain a steady base for your camera. When shooting with a low
shutter speed, hold your breath to minimize body movement.
Holding the camera
Hold the camera with your right hand and place you right index nger
on the shutter button. Place your left hand under the lens for support.
14
Crouching photography
Compose your shot, crouch with one knee touching the ground, and
keep a straight posture.
Aperture
The aperture, a hole that controls the amount of light that enters the
camera, is one of the three factors that determine the exposure. The
aperture housing contains thin, metal plates that open and close to let
light through the aperture and into the camera. The size of the aperture
is closely related to the brightness of a photo: the larger the aperture,
the brighter the photo; the smaller the aperture, the darker the photo.
Aperture sizes
Minimum aperture Medium aperture Maximum aperture
Darker photo
(aperture opened slightly)
Brighter photo
(aperture opened wide)
15
The size of the aperture is represented by a value known as an
F-number. The f-number represents the focal length divided by the
diameter of the lens. For example, if a lens with a 50 mm focal length
has an f-number of F2, the diameter of the aperture is 25 mm.
(50 mm/25 mm=F2) The smaller the f-number, the greater the size of
the aperture.
The opening in the aperture is described as the Exposure Value (EV).
Increasing the Exposure Value (+1 EV) means the amount of light
doubles. Decreasing the Exposure Value (-1 EV) means the amount of
light halves. You can also use the exposure compensation feature to
ne-tune the amount of light by subdividing exposure values into 1/2,
1/3 EV, and so on.
+1 EV
F1.4 F2 F2.8 F4 F5.6 F8
-1 EV
Exposure Value Steps
Aperture value and the depth of eld
You can blur or sharpen the background of a photo by controlling the
aperture. It is closely related to the depth of eld (DOF), which can be
expressed as small or large.
A photo with a large DOF A photo with a small DOF
The aperture housing contains several blades. These blades move together
and control the amount of light passing through the center of the aperture.
The number of blades also affects the shape of light when shooting night
scenes. If an aperture has an even number of blades, light divides into an
equal number of sections. If the number of blades is odd, the number of
sections is double the number of blades.
For example, an aperture with 8 blades divides light into 8 sections and an
aperture with 7 blades into 14 sections.
7 blades 8 blades
16
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.
Usually, the shutter speed is manually adjustable. The measurement
of the shutter speed is known as the Exposure Value (EV), which is
marked in intervals of 1 s, 1/2 s, 1/4 s, 1/8 s, 1/15 s, 1/1000 s,
1/2000 s, and so on.
Exposure
+1 EV
-1 EV
1s 1/2 s 1/4 s 1/8 s 1/15 s 1/30 s
Shutter Speed
Therefore, the faster the shutter speed, the less light will be let in.
Likewise, the slower the shutter speed, the more light will be let in.
As the photos below illustrate, a slow shutter speed allows more time
to let light in, so the photo becomes brighter. On the other hand, a fast
shutter speed allows less time to let light in and the photo becomes
darker and more easily freezes subjects in motion.
0.8 s 0.004 s
17
ISO sensitivity
The exposure of an image is determined by the sensitivity of the
camera. This sensitivity is based on international lm standards, known
as ISO standards. On digital cameras, this sensitivity rating is used
to represent the sensitivity of the digital mechanism that captures the
image.
ISO sensitivity doubles as the number doubles. For example, an
ISO 200 setting is capable of capturing images at twice the speed of an
ISO 100 setting. However, higher ISO settings can result in noise
small specks, spots, and other phenomena in a photo that give the shot
a noisy or dirty appearance. As a general rule, it is best to use a low
ISO setting to prevent noise in your photos, unless you are shooting in
darkened environments or at night.
Changes in the quality and brightness according to ISO sensitivity
Because a low ISO sensitivity means the camera will be less sensitive
to light, you need more light to have an optimal exposure. When using
a low ISO sensitivity, open the aperture more or reduce the shutter
speed to allow more light to enter the camera. For example, on a sunny
day when light is abundant, a low ISO sensitivity does not require a low
shutter speed. However, in a dark place or at night, a low ISO sensitivity
and a fast shutter speed will result in a blurry photo.

high sensitivity

18
How the aperture setting, shutter speed,
and ISO sensitivity control exposure
The aperture setting, shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity are closely
interconnected in photography. The aperture setting controls the
opening that regulates the light that enters the camera, while the shutter
speed determines the length of time that light is allowed to enter.
ISO sensitivity determines the speed at which the lm reacts to light.
Together, these three aspects are described as the triangle of exposure.
A change in shutter speed, aperture value, or ISO sensitivity can be
offset by adjustments to the others to maintain the amount of light.
The results, however, change according to the settings. For example,
shutter speed is useful in expressing movement, aperture can control
the depth of eld, and ISO sensitivity can control the graininess of a
photo.
Settings Results
Aperture
Wide aperture
= more light
Narrow aperture
= less light
Wide = small depth of eld
Narrow = large depth of eld
Settings Results

Correlation between focal length, angle,
and perspective
Focal length, which is measured in millimeters, is the distance between
the middle of the lens to its focal point. It affects the angle and
perspective of captured images. A short focal length translates into a
wide angle, which allows you to capture a wide shot. A long focal length
translates into a narrow angle, which allows you to capture telephoto
shots.

Long focal length

Look at these photos below and compare the changes.

Normally, a lens with a wide angle is suitable for shooting landscapes and
a lens with a narrow angle is recommended for shooting sports events or
portraits.
20
Depth of eld
Portraits or still-life photos mostly acclaimed by people are the ones on
which the background is out of focus so the subject looks pronounced.
Depending on the focused areas, a photo can be blurred or sharpened.
This is called a low DOF or a high DOF.
The depth of eld is the focused area around the subject. Therefore,
a small DOF signies that the focused area is narrow and a large DOF
means the focused area is wide.
A photo with a small DOF, which stresses the subject and makes the
rest of it blurred, can be obtained by using a telescope lens or selecting
a low aperture value. Conversely, a photo with a large DOF which
shows all the elements on the photo sharply focused can be achieved
by using a wide angle lens or selecting a high aperture value.
Small Depth of Field Large Depth of Field
What controls out-of-focus effects?
DOF depends on aperture value
The wider the aperture is (namely the lower the aperture value), the
lower the DOF becomes. Under the condition where the other values
including shutter speed and ISO sensitivity are equal, a low aperture
value leads to a photo with a low DOF.
55 mm F5.7 55 mm F22
21
DOF depends on focal length
The longer the focal length is, the lower the DOF gets. A telescope lens
with a longer focal length than a telescope lens with a short focal length
is better to capture a photo of a low DOF.
A photo captured with a 18 mm
telescope lens
A photo captured with a 100 mm
telescope lens
DOF depends on the distance between the subject and
the camera
The shorter the distance between the subject and the camera is, the
lower the DOF gets. Therefore, taking a photo close to a subject can
result in a photo of low DOF.

You can use the Custom button to get an idea of what your shot will
look like before shooting. When you press the button, the camera
adjusts the aperture to the predened settings and shows the results on
the screen. Set the function of the Custom button to Optical Preview.
(p. 127)
Composition
It is fun to capture a photo of the beauty of world with a camera. No
matter how the world is beautiful, however, a poor composition cannot
capture the beauty of it.
When it comes to composition, it is very important to prioritize subjects.
Composition in photography means arranging objects in a photo.
Usually, abiding by the rule of thirds leads to a good composition.
Rule of Thirds
To use the rule of thirds, divide the image into a 3x3 pattern of equal
rectangles.
To compose photos that best emphasize the subject, make sure the
subject is located at one of the corners of the center rectangle.
23
Using the rule of thirds will create photos with stable and compelling
compositions. Below are a few examples.
Photos with two subjects
If your subject is in one corner of the photo, it creates an unbalanced
composition. You can stabilize the photo by capturing a second subject
in the opposite corner to balance the weight of the photo.
Subject 1
Subject 2

Subject 2
Unstable Stable
When taking landscape photos, centering the horizon will create an
unbalanced effect. Give more weight to the photo by moving the
horizon up or down.

Light is one of the most important components in photography. Its
not easy, however, to have an enough amount of light anytime and
anywhere. Making use of a ash allows you to optimize light settings
and create a variety of effects.
Flash, also known as strobe or speed light, helps to create adequate
exposure in low-light conditions. It is also useful in light-abundant
situations. For example, ash can be used in compensating the
exposure of a subjects shadow or capturing clearly both the subject
and the background in backlit conditions.
Before correction After correction
Flash guide number
The model number of a ash refers to the ashs power, and the
maximum amount of light created is represented by a value known
as a guide number. The bigger the guide number, the more light is
emitted from the ash. The guide number is achieved by multiplying the
distance from the ash to the subject and the aperture value when the
ISO sensitivity is set to 100.
Guide number = Flash to Subject Distance X Aperture value
Aperture value = Guide number / Flash to Subject Distance
Flash to Subject Distance = Guide number / Aperture value
Therefore, if you know the guide number of a ash, you can estimate an
optimum ash to subject distance when setting the ash manually. For
example, if a ash has a guide number of GN 20 and is 4 meters away
from the subject, the optimal aperture value is F5.0.
25
Bounce Photography
Bounce photography refers to the method of bouncing light off of
the ceiling or walls so that the light spreads evenly over the subject.
Normally, photos captured with ash may appear unnatural and cast
shadows. Subjects in photos captured with bounce photography cast
no shadows and look smooth due to evenly spread light.

t Smart Auto mode
In Smart Auto mode, the camera recognizes surrounding conditions
and automatically adjusts factors that contribute to exposure, including
shutter speed, aperture value, metering, White Balance, and exposure
compensation. As the camera controls most of the functions, some
shooting functions are limited. This mode is useful for capturing quick
snapshots with the least amount of adjustment.
The camera may detect different scenes, even the same subjects, depending
on external factors such as camera shake, lighting, and distance to the
subject.
My Camera > Shooting modes
44
P Program mode
The camera automatically adjusts shutter speed and aperture value so
that an optimal exposure value can be achieved.
This mode is useful when you want to capture shots of constant
exposure while being able to adjust other settings.
Program Shift
Program Shift function lets you adjust the shutter speed and aperture
value while the camera maintains the same exposure. When you scroll
the jog dial to the left or rotate the navigation button counter-clockwise,
the shutter speed decreases and the aperture value increases. When
you scroll the jog dial to the right or rotate the navigation button
clockwise, the shutter speed increases and the aperture value
decreases.
45
A Aperture Priority mode
In Aperture Priority mode, the camera automatically calculates shutter
speed according to the aperture value you choose. You can adjust the
depth of eld (DOF) by changing the aperture value. This mode is useful
for taking portraits and landscape shots.

Large Depth of Field Small Depth of Field
In low-light settings, you may need to increase the ISO sensitivity to prevent
blurred photos.
S Shutter Priority mode
In Shutter Priority mode, the camera automatically adjusts the aperture
value according to the shutter speed you choose. This mode is useful
for capturing photos of fast-moving subjects or for creating tracer
effects in a photo.
For example, set the shutter speed to over 1/500 s to freeze the
subject. To make the subject appear blurred set the shutter speed to
below 1/30 s.
Slow shutter speed Fast shutter speed
In order to compensate for the reduced amount of light allowed by fast
shutter speeds, open the aperture and let in more light. If your photos are still
too dark, increase the ISO value.
46
M Manual mode
Manual mode lets you adjust the shutter speed and aperture value
manually. In this mode, you can fully control the exposure of your
photos.
This mode is useful in controlled shooting environments, such as a
studio, or when it is necessary to ne-tune camera settings. The Manual
mode is also recommended for shooting night scenes or reworks.
Framing mode
When you adjust the aperture value or shutter speed, the exposure
changes according to the settings, so the display may darken. With this
function on, the brightness of the display is constant regardless of the
settings, so you can better frame your shot.

v Movie mode
In Movie mode, you can shoot videos in Full High Denition (1920X1080)
and capture sound via the cameras microphone.
In order to adjust the exposure level, you can select Program in the
Movie AE Mode options menu so that the aperture value and shutter
speed can be automatically set or select Aperture Priority to manually
set the aperture value. You can also select Shutter Priority to manually
set the shutter speed or select Manual to manually set both the
aperture value and shutter speed. While shooting a video, press [F] to
activate or deactivate the AF function.
Select Fader to fade in or out a scene. You can also select Voice to
mute or un-mute voice.
The camera lets you capture video les up to 25 minutes in length at
30 or 24 fps, and saves the les in MP4 (H.264) format. 24 fps is
available only with 1920X810.
H.264 (MPEG-4 part10/AVC) is the latest video coding format established
in 2003 collaboratively by ISO-IEC and ITU-T. Since this format uses a high
compression rate, more data can be saved in less memory space.
If you have the image stabilizer option on when shooting a movie, the
camera may record the image stabilizer sound.
The zoom sound or other lens sounds may be recorded if you adjust the
lens while recording a video.
When using an optional video lens, the autofocus noise is not recorded.
If you remove the camera lens while recording a movie, the recording will
be interrupted. Do not change the lens while recording.
If you attach an external microphone while recording a movie, sound will
not be recorded through the external microphone. (The previous settings
are maintained.) If you remove the external microphone while recording a
movie, sound will not be recorded. Turn off the camera before attaching or
removing the external microphone.
If you change the shooting angle of the camera suddenly while shooting
a movie, the camera may not be able to record images accurately. Use a
tripod to minimize camera shake.
In Movie mode, the camera supports only the Multi AF function. You
cannot use any other focus area setting functions, such as Face Detection
AF.
When the size of a movie le exceeds 4 GB, the camera automatically
stops recording. If this occurs, continue shooting by starting a new movie
le.
If you use a slow writing memory card, the recording of your movie can be
interrupted because the card cannot process data at the rate the video is
being shot. If this occurs, replace the card with a faster memory card or
reduce the image size (for example, from 1280X720 to 640X480).
When formatting a memory card, always format using the camera. If you
format on another camera or a PC, you can lose les on the card or cause
a change in the capacity of the card.

The camera saves photos in either the JPEG or RAW format.
Photos captured by a camera are often transformed to the JPEG format
and stored in the memory according to the settings of the camera at the
time of shooting. RAW les are not transformed to the JPEG format and
are stored in the memory without any changes.
RAW les have the le extension SRW. To adjust and calibrate
exposures, White Balances, tones, contrasts, and colors of the RAW
les, or to convert them into JPEG or TIFF format, use the Samsung
RAW Converter program found on the supplied CD-ROM. Ensure you
have enough available memory to save photos in the RAW format.

The ISO sensitivity value represents the sensitivity of camera to light.
The larger the ISO value, the more sensitive the camera is to light.
Consequently, by selecting a higher ISO sensitivity value, you can
capture photos in dim or dark places at faster shutter speeds. However,
this may increase electronic noise and result in a grainy photo.
To set ISO sensitivity, In Shooting mode, press [I] an option.
Examples
ISO 100 ISO 400
ISO 800 ISO 3200
Increase the ISO value in places where ash use is prohibited. You can
capture a clear photo by setting a high ISO value without having to secure
more light.
Use the Noise Reduction function in order to reduce the visual noise that
can appear on photos of a high ISO value. (p. 124)

The metering mode refers to the way in which a camera measures the
quantity of light.
The camera measures the amount of light in a scene, and in many of its
modes, uses the measurement to adjust various settings. For example,
if a subject looks darker than its actual color, the camera captures an
overexposed photo of it. If a subject looks lighter than its actual color,
the camera captures an underexposed photo of it.
The brightness and overall mood of the photo can also be affected by
how the camera measures the amount of light. Select an appropriate
setting for a shooting condition.
To set a metering
option,
In Shooting mode, press [f] Metering an option.
Multi
The Multi mode calculates the amount of light in multiple areas. When
light is sufcient or insufcient, the camera adjusts the exposure by
averaging the overall brightness of the scene. This mode is suitable for
general photos.
Metering
80
Shooting Functions > Metering
Center-weighted
The Center-weighted mode calculates a broader area than the
Spot mode does. It sums up the amount of light in the center portion
of the shot (60 ~ 80 %) and that of the rest of the shot (20 ~ 40 %).
It is recommended for situations where there is a slight difference in
brightness between a subject and a background or an area of the
subject is large compared to the overall composition of the photo.
Spot
The Spot mode calculates the amount of light in the center. When you
capture a photo in conditions where there is a strong backlight behind
a subject, the camera adjusts the exposure so as to shoot a subject
correctly. For example, when you select the Multi mode in a strong
backlight condition, the camera calculates that the overall amount of
light is abundant, which results in a darker photo. The Spot mode can
prevent this situation as it calculates the amount of light in a designated
area.
The subject is in bright color while the background is dark. The Spot
mode is recommended for a situation like this where a huge difference in
the exposure exists between a subject and a background.

Digital imaging devices such as digital cameras, monitors, and printers
have their own methods for representing colors, which are called color
spaces.
Your camera lets you select two color spaces: sRGB or Adobe RGB.
sRGB is widely used for creating colors on PC monitors and is also the
standard color space for Exif. sRGB is recommended for regular images
and images you intend to publish on the Internet.
Adobe RGB is used for commercial printing and has a larger color range
than sRGB. Its wider range of colors helps you to easily edit photos on a
computer. Note that individual programs are generally compatible with a
limited number of color spaces. If you open an image in a program that
is not compatible with the images color space, the colors will appear
lighter.

Network connection tips
The quality of the network connection will be determined by the AP.
The further the distance between your camera and the AP, the longer
it will take to connect to the network.
If a nearby device is using the same radio frequency signal as your
camera, it may interrupt your connection.
If your AP name is not in English, the camera may not be able to
locate the device or the name may appear incorrectly.
For network settings or a password, contact your network
administrator or network service provider.
If a WLAN requires authentication from the service provider, you may
not be able to connect to it. To connect the WLAN, contact your
network service provider.
Depending on the encryption type, the number of digits in the
password may differ.
A WLAN connection may not be possible in all surroundings.
The camera may display a WLAN enabled printer on the AP List.
You cannot connect to the network via a printer.
You cannot connect your camera to a network and a TV
simultaneously. Also, you cannot view photos or videos on a TV while
connected to a network.
Connecting to a network may incur additional charges. Costs will vary
based on the conditions of your contract.
If you cannot connect to a WLAN, try another AP from the available AP
list.
You can also connect to free WLANs in some foreign countries.
A login page may appear when you select free WLANs provided
by some network service providers. Enter your ID and password to
connect to the WLAN. For information about registering or the service,
contact the network service providers.
Be cautious when you enter personal information for an AP connection.
Do not enter any payment or credit card information on your camera.
The manufacturer is not liable for any problem caused by entering such
information.
Available network connections may differ by country.
The WLAN feature of your camera must comply with radio transmission
laws in your region. To ensure compliance, use the WLAN feature only
in the country where you purchased the camera.
The process for adjusting network settings may differ, depending on
network conditions.
Do not access a network that you are not authorized to use.
Before you connect to a network, ensure your battery is fully charged.
When a DHCP server is not available you must make an autoip.txt le
and copy it to the inserted memory card to connect to the network
using Auto IP.

one, condensation can form on the lens or internal components of the
camera. In this situation, turn off the camera and wait for at least 1 hour.
If condensation forms on the memory card, remove the memory card
from the camera and wait until all moisture has evaporated before
reinserting it.
Other cautions
Do not swing your camera by the strap. This may cause injury to
yourself or others or damage to your camera.
Do not paint your camera, as paint can clog moving parts and prevent
proper operation.
Turn off the camera when not using it.
Your camera consists of delicate parts. Avoid impacts to the camera.
Protect the display from external force by keeping it in the case when
not in use. Protect the camera from scratches by keeping it away from
sand, sharp implements, or loose change.
Do not use the camera if the screen is cracked or broken. Broken
glass or acrylic could cause injury to your hands and face. Take the
camera to a Samsung service center to have it repaired.
Never place cameras, batteries, chargers, or accessories near, on,
or in heating devices, such as microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators.
These devices may be deformed and can overheat and cause a re or
explosion.
Do not expose the lens to direct sunlight, as this may discolor the
image sensor or cause it to malfunction.
Protect your lens from ngerprints and scratches. Clean your lens with
a soft, clean, debris-free lens cloth.
The camera may turn off if impacted from the outside. This is to
protect the memory card. Turn on the camera to use it again.
While you use the camera, it may heat up. This is normal and should
not affect your cameras lifespan or performance.
When you use the camera in low temperatures, it may take some time
to turn on, the color of the display may be changed temporarily, or
after-images may appear. These conditions are not malfunctions and
they will correct themselves when the camera is returned to normal
temperatures.
Paint or metal on the outside of the camera may cause allergies,
itchy skin, eczema, or swelling for people with sensitive skin.
If you experience any of these symptoms, stop using the camera
immediately and consult a doctor.

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 les 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 to 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 (Auto Exposure Lock)
This feature helps you lock the exposure on which you want to calculate
the exposure.
AF (Auto Focus)
A system that automatically focuses the camera lens on the subject.
Your camera uses the contrast to focus automatically.
AMOLED (Active-matrix organic light-emitting diode) /
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)
AMOLED is a visual display that is very thin and light, as it does not
need backlighting. LCD is a visual display commonly used in consumer
electronics. This display needs a separate backlight, such as CCFL or

Usually, abiding by the rule of thirds leads to a good composition.
DCF (Design rule for Camera File system)
A specication to dene a le format and le system for digital cameras
created by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries
Association (JEITA).
Depth of eld
The distance between the nearest and farthest points that can be
acceptably focused in a photograph. Depth of eld 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 eld
and blur the background of a composition.
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.
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 ash, or using
a faster shutter speed. Alternatively, use a tripod or the OIS function to
stabilize the camera.

Color Temperature is a measurement in degrees Kelvin (K) that indicates
the hue of a specic 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.

Appendix > Glossary
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
magnied. Shorter focal lengths result in wider angles of view.
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.
EV (Exposure Value)
All the combinations of the cameras 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.
Exif (Exchangeable Image File Format)
A specication to dene an image le format for digital cameras created
by the Japan Electronic Industries Development Association (JEIDA).
Exposure
The amount of light allowed to reach the cameras sensor. Exposure is
controlled by a combination of the shutter speed, the aperture value,
and ISO sensitivity.
169
Appendix > Glossary
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
A lossy method of compression for digital images. JPEG images are
compressed to reduce their overall le 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.
MJPEG (Motion JPEG)
A video format which is compressed as a JPEG image.
MPO (Multi Picture Object)
An image le format that contains multiple images in a le. An MPO le
provides a 3D effect on MPO-compatible displays, such as 3D TVs or
3D monitors.
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).
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.
ISO sensitivity
The sensitivity of the camera to light, based on the equivalent lm speed
used in a lm 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.
170
Appendix > Glossary
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 le size.
RAW (Sensor raw data)
The original, unprocessed data, collected directly from the cameras
image sensor. White Balance, contrast, saturation, sharpness, and
other data can be manipulated with editing software before the image is
compressed into a standard le format.
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.
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.
NTSC (National Television System Committee)
A video color encoding standard used most commonly in Japan, North
America, the Philippines, South America, South Korea, and Taiwan.
Optical zoom
This is a general zoom which can enlarge images with a lens and does
not deteriorate quality of images.
PAL (Phase Alternate Line)
A video color encoding standard used in numerous countries throughout
Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.
171
Appendix > 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.
sRGB (Standard RGB)
International standard of color space established by the IEC
(International Electrotechnical Commission). This is dened from color
space for PC monitors and is also used as the standard color space for
Exif.
Vignetting
A reduction of an images 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.
Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is a technology that allows electronic devices to exchange data
wirelessly over a network.
WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)
WPS is a technology that secures wireless home networks.
