2 Tips before you start taking pictures
Tips before you start
taking pictures
Your pictures are almost guaranteed to
come out well just by setting the mode dial
to P and pressing the shutter button. But
occasionally, you can’t focus on your
subject, or the subject is too dark, or the
picture doesn’t come out the way you
want…
Just knowing which button to press or which
setting to change can help you solve these
problems.
And did you know that by selecting an
image size according to how you plan to use
the pictures afterwards, you can store more
pictures on the memory card? These are
just some of the hints provided in this
chapter.

Tips before you start taking pictures
Holding the camera
Sometimes when you look at a picture you have taken, the contours of the
subject are blurred. This is often caused by movement of the camera at the
precise moment that the shutter button is pressed.
Picture where subject is not clearly defined
To prevent the camera from moving, hold the camera firmly with both
hands while keeping your elbows at your sides. When taking pictures
with the camera in the vertical position, hold the camera so that the flash
is positioned higher than the lens. Keep your fingers and the strap away
from the lens and flash.
Horizontal grip Vertical grip

Turning the monitor on/off
You can take pictures with or without using the monitor.
MONITOR ON For taking pictures using the monitor (factory default setting)
MONITOR OFF For taking pictures using the viewfinder

(Features of the monitor and viewfinder
Monitor Viewfinder
Advantages
You can check the picture area
that the camera actually
records.
Camera movement does not
occur easily and subjects can be
seen clearly even in bright places.
Little battery power is used.
Disadvantages
Camera movement occurs easily
and subjects may be difficult to
see in bright/dark places. The
monitor uses more battery power
than the viewfinder.
When close to a subject, the
image in the viewfinder differs
slightly from the picture that the
camera actually records.
Tips
Use the monitor when you need to
know the exact area the camera
records, or to take a close-up of a
person or flower (macro shooting).
Use the viewfinder for general
snapshots, landscape pictures
and other casual shots.
Viewfinder
• The camera records a wider area than the image in the
viewfinder.
• As you get closer to the subject, the actual image recorded
(the shaded area in the illustration on the left) differs
slightly from the image in the viewfinder.
TIPS
The monitor turns off automatically.
→ If the camera is not used for over 3 minutes, the monitor turns off automatically.
Press the shutter button or zoom lever to turn the monitor on.
To adjust the brightness of the monitor.
→ Adjust the brightness with the [s] settings. g“Monitor brightness
adjustment” (P.114)
The monitor is hard to see.
→
Bright light, such as direct sunlight, may cause vertical lines (smears) to appear
on the image in the monitor. This does not affect recorded pictures.

Tips before you start taking pictures
If correct focus cannot be obtained
The camera automatically detects the focus target in the frame. The level
of contrast is one of the criteria it uses to detect the subject. The camera
may fail to determine subjects with lower contrast than the surroundings or
with an area of extremely strong contrast in the frame. If this happens, the
simplest solution is to use the focus lock.
1 Position the AF target mark on
the subject you want to focus on.
• When shooting a hard-to-focus subject
or a fast-moving subject, point the
camera at an object about the same
distance away as the subject.
2 Press the shutter button halfway
until the green lamp lights.
• When the focus and exposure are
locked, the green lamp lights.
• The AF target mark moves to the focus
position.
• When the green lamp blinks, the focus
and exposure are not locked. Release your finger from the shutter button,
re-position the AF target mark on the subject and press the shutter button
halfway again.
3 Keeping the shutter button
pressed halfway, recompose
your shot.

4 Press the shutter button fully.
Under certain types of conditions, the auto focus may not work properly.
If this happens, focus on an object with high contrast at the same distance as the
intended subject (focus lock), recompose your shot and then take the picture. If the
subject has no vertical lines, hold the camera vertically and focus the camera using
the focus lock function by pressing the shutter button halfway, then return the
camera to the horizontal position while keeping the button pressed halfway and take
the picture.
If the subject still cannot be focused on, use the manual focus. g“Manual

Record mode
You can select a record mode in which to take pictures or shoot movies.
Select the best record mode for your purpose (printing, editing on a
computer, website editing, etc.). For information on the image sizes for
each record mode and the memory capacity of the card, see the table on
P.28.
Record mode depicts the image size and compression rate of pictures you wish to
record.
Pictures are made from thousands of dots (pixels). If a picture with relatively few
pixels is enlarged, it looks like a mosaic. A picture with many pixels is denser and
clearer, but requires a larger file size (data size), decreasing the number of pictures
that can be saved on a card. Increasing the compression rate reduces the file size,
but makes the pictures appear grainy.

TIPS
• When a picture is transferred to a computer, the size of the picture on the
computer screen varies depending on the computer’s monitor setting. For
instance, a picture taken with an image size of 1,024 × 768 fills as the screen
if you set the picture to 1× when the monitor setting is 1,024 × 768. However, if
the monitor setting is over 1,024 × 768 (such as 1,280 × 1,024), the picture only
takes up part of the screen.
• The number of storable still pictures/recording time is displayed on the monitor
when a card is inserted in the camera.
Note
• The number of storable still pictures and movie recording times listed in the
table are approximate.
• The number of storable still pictures may change according to the subject or
factors like whether print reservations have been made or not. In certain
instances, the number of remaining pictures does not change even when you
take pictures or stored images are erased.
• If movies are shot with [VIDEO OUT] set to [PAL] and the AV cable connected,
the movie recording time will differ from the time listed in the “Card capacity in
number of pictures/remaining recording time” table.

A professional photographer adjusts the
exposure to the optimal setting, chooses the
best focusing method and even selects the
type of film according to the subject.
With a digital camera, you don’t need to
learn how to make them. Your camera will
adjust the settings for you! All you have to
do is choose a scene mode according to
whether you are taking a landscape, a night
scene, a portrait-style image or whatever,
and the camera will set the best exposure
and white balance.
There’s nothing to it – just press the shutter

Zooming in on a distant subject
You can zoom in on your subject using the optical zoom and digital zoom.
With the optical zoom, the image is enlarged by the CCD when the lens
magnification is changed, and the image is formed by all the CCD pixels.
With the digital zoom, the area at the center of the image captured by the
CCD is cropped and enlarged back to size. When you zoom in on a
subject, you are essentially taking a small area of the picture and making
it bigger. Therefore, the greater the magnification with the digital zoom, the
grainier the resulting picture will be.
The following zoom magnifications are available on this camera.
Optical zoom 5× (equivalent to 38 mm to 190 mm on a
35 mm camera)
Digital zoom 6×
Optical zoom + digital zoom Max. 30×
Note that camera movement is likely to occur at higher magnifications.

Taking close-up pictures (macro/super macro mode)
Focusing is usually slow when you get close to a subject (W: 8 cm/3.2" to
60 cm/23.6", T: 60 cm/23.6" to 120 cm/47.2"). However, in macro mode
focusing is performed quickly.
& When the optical zoom lever is at the maximum wide position and you are as
close as 8 cm/3.2" to your subject, you can fill the entire frame with a 9.0 × 6.6
cm (3.5" × 2.6") subject.
% This mode lets you shoot from as close as 2 cm/0.8" to your subject. Subjects
measuring approximately 3.4 × 2.5 cm (1.3" × 1.0") can be captured on the
monitor. In the % mode, normal shooting is also possible, but the position of

Flash shooting
Select the flash mode best suited to the light conditions and the effect you want to
achieve. You can also adjust the amount of light emitted using the flash intensity control.
Flash working range
W (max.): Approx. 15 cm to 3.8 m (0.5 ft. to 12.5 ft.)
T (max.): Approx. 60 cm to 2.2 m (2.0 ft. to 7.2 ft.)
Auto-flash (No indication)
The flash fires automatically in low light or backlight conditions.
Red-eye reduction flash (!)
The light from the flash may make the
subject’s eyes appear red in the picture.
The red-eye reduction flash mode
reduces this phenomenon by emitting
pre-flashes before firing the regular flash.
Fill-in flash (#)
The flash fires regardless of the available light.
This mode is useful for eliminating shadows on
the subject’s face (such as shadows from tree
leaves), in a backlight situation, or for
correcting the color shift produced by artificial
lighting (especially fluorescent light).
Flash off ($)
The flash does not fire even in low light conditions. Use this mode in situations where flash
photography is not desired or is prohibited, such as in a museum or art gallery. You can
also use this mode when you want to shoot a natural-looking twilight or night scene. The
flash does not fire when the flash is closed as well as when the flash mode is set to off.
Note
• After the pre-flashes, it takes about 1 second before the shutter is released.
Hold the camera firmly to avoid camera movement.
•
Effectiveness may be limited if the subject is not looking directly at the pre-flashes, or if the
shooting range is too far. Individual physical characteristics may also limit effectiveness.
Note
• The fill-in flash may not have the desired effect under excessively bright light.
Note
•
Since a slow shutter speed is automatically selected in low light situations when in the flash off mode,
the use of a tripod is recommended to prevent your pictures from being blurred by camera movement.

Basic shooting functions
Slow synchronization (#SLOW1/#SLOW2/HSLOW1)
The slow synchronization flash is designed for slow shutter speeds. Normally, when
shooting with a flash, shutter speeds cannot go below a certain level to prevent
camera movement. But when shooting a night scene background, fast shutter
speeds can make the background too dark. Slow synchronization flash allows both
a slow shutter speed for the background and a flash for the subject. Since the shutter
speed is slow, make sure you stabilize the camera by using a tripod, otherwise,
camera movement may cause the picture to be blurred. The factory default setting
is [#SLOW1]. You can change the setting.
g“Slow synchronization” (P.41)
1st curtain (front curtain) #SLOW1
Usually, regardless of the shutter speed, the flash fires right after the shutter fully
opens. This is called 1st curtain. Unless you change it, this is how the flash always
fires.
2nd curtain (rear curtain) #SLOW2
With 2nd curtain, the flash fires just before the shutter closes. Changing the flash
timing can create interesting effects in your picture, such as expressing the
movement of a car by showing the tail-lights streaming backwards. The slower the
shutter speed, the better the effects turn out.
The slowest possible shutter speed depends on the shooting mode:

4 Advanced shooting functions
Letting the camera select the optimal settings
is simple and easy, but if you want, you can
be a lot more creative. Now that you have
mastered basic operation, you can start
enjoying your camera’s more advanced
functions. You can adjust the shooting
conditions manually and try out different
effects. For example, when taking pictures of
flowers, by reducing the aperture value and
focusing on the branch of the tree nearest to
you, you can make the flowers stand out
against a blurred background.
If it is evening, you can add a touch of color
to the night sky. By setting the white
balance to 1 (tungsten light), you can give

Aperture priority shooting
This function allows you to set the aperture manually. The camera sets the
shutter speed automatically. By decreasing the aperture value (F-
number), the camera will focus within a smaller range, producing a picture
with a blurred background. Increasing the value forces the camera to focus
over a wider range, resulting in increased “depth of field”, in which both the
subject and the background are in focus.
1 Select the aperture value.
a : Increases the aperture value.
c : Decreases the aperture value.
Aperture range:
W: f2.8 to f8.0 T: f4.8 to f8.0
If the aperture value is displayed in red, the setting is unsuitable for the conditions.
Take the following steps. (When the aperture value is displayed in green, the setting
will provide optimum exposure.)
Note
• When the flash is set to the auto-flash mode, the slowest shutter speed is fixed
at the level at which # lights. (gP.40)

This function allows you to set the shutter speed manually. The camera
sets the aperture automatically. Set the shutter speed according to the
subject and the type of effect you want.

Note
• The shutter speeds that can be set vary depending on the flash setting and
aperture value.
Setting the shutter speed higher lets
you capture fast-moving action without
blur. The subject will be clear and
sharp, as if it is not moving.
Setting the shutter speed lower blurs a

• When the shutter button is halfway
pressed, the difference (ranging from
-3.0 to +3.0 EV) between the exposure
determined by the currently selected
aperture and shutter speed compared to
the exposure level considered optimal
by the camera is displayed.
• If the exposure differential appears in
red, it indicates that the exposure
differential is less than -3.0 EV or more
than +3.0 EV.
TIPS
• When AE lock is registered to the
custom button and you press the
x button, the screen on the right
appears with the bar indicating the

Metering
There are three ways of measuring the brightness of a subject.
ESP Meters the center of the subject and the surrounding area
separately.
n Exposure is determined by metering within the AF target area.
In this mode, a subject can be shot with optimal exposure
regardless of the background light.
MULTI METERING Meters the brightness of the subject at up to 8 different points
to set the optimal exposure based on the average brightness.
This method is useful with a high contrast subject.

ISO sensitivity
The higher the ISO value, the greater the camera’s light sensitivity and the
better its ability to shoot in low light conditions. However, higher values
also introduce electrical noise into the resulting image, which may give it a
grainy appearance.
AUTO Sensitivity is automatically adjusted according to the light
conditions and the subject brightness.
80/100/200/400 With a lower ISO setting, you can shoot clear, sharp images
in daylight. With a higher ISO setting, you can use faster
shutter speeds with the same amount of light.

•
When [ISO] is set to

steps.
• Adjust toward –: Press

TIPS
• Often bright subjects (such as snow) will turn out darker than their natural
colors. Adjusting toward + makes these subjects closer to their real shades. For
the same reason, adjust toward – when shooting dark subjects.
• In some situations, you may get better results when the exposure that the
camera sets is compensated (adjusted) manually.
Note
• If the flash is used, the image brightness (exposure) may differ from the
intended brightness.
• Exposure compensation cannot correct the image if the surroundings of the

Color reproduction differs depending on the light conditions. For instance,
when daylight, the setting sun or tungsten lighting are reflected on white
paper, the shade of white produced will be slightly different for each. By
setting the WB (white balance), you can achieve more natural-looking
colors.
AUTO Automatically adjusts the white balance for any light source.

Noise reduction
When shooting in dark places, shutter speeds become slower as there is
less light focused on the CCD. During long exposures, signals are
generated by parts of the CCD where no light is focused and are recorded
on the image as noise. When [NOISE REDUCTION] is set to [ON], the
camera automatically reduces the noise to produce clearer images.
ON Noise is reduced. Shooting time is twice as
long as usual. Noise reduction can only be
used when the shutter speed is slower than
1/2 sec.
OFF Noise is not reduced. Noise may be
conspicuous with slow shutter speeds.

With film-type cameras, you cannot see the
pictures you have taken until the film has
been developed. And aren’t you sometimes
disappointed with the results when you do
eventually see them? Pictures of blurred
scenery or someone with their eyes shut. Or
maybe you took several pictures of the
same scene because you weren’t sure
whether they would come out or not. That’s
no way to record important memories!
With a digital camera, you can review your
pictures immediately.
Just play the picture back as soon as you’ve
taken it. If you don’t like what you see, erase
and take it again. So don’t be afraid of
pictures not coming out well – just keep on

One of the key features of a digital camera
is that you can view the pictures you have
taken immediately.
But that isn’t all. Another advantage is that
you can customize the camera
to your own personal taste.
For example, you can set the startup screen
so that one of the pictures you have taken is
displayed when you turn the camera on.
That’s originality for you!
And if you lend the camera to friends from
abroad, you can select the appropriate
language for on-screen display.
If you find it easier to press a button than
going to the menu every time for a favorite
function, set it on the custom button.
Making use of these functions will make
such a difference to how much fun you get
out of your camera. Why not try them out?

File name
The camera automatically creates file names and folder names for images
to be stored in. Files can be numbered from 0001 to 9999 and folders can
be numbered from 100 to 999. Examples are shown below.
There are two settings from which you can choose: [RESET] or [AUTO]. Choose the
one that is best for you when transferring images to a computer.
File name settings
RESET The file number and folder number are reset every time a new card is
inserted in the camera. The folder number returns to No. 100 and the file
number returns to No. 0001. This method is useful when grouping files
on separate cards.
AUTO Even if a new card is inserted, the folder number and file number are
retained from the previous card, so the same file number is not used on
different cards. This helps you to manage multiple cards. This method is
useful when you want to manage all your files with sequential numbers.
Top menu [MODE MENU] [SETUP] [FILE NAME] [RESET] / [AUTO]
g“Menus” (P.17)
Note
• When the File No. reaches 9999, the file number returns to 0001 and the folder
number changes.
• When both the Folder and File No. reach their respective maximum number
(999/9999), the number of storable pictures becomes 0 even if the card is not
full. No more pictures can be taken. Replace the card with a new one.

You can print out the pictures you have
taken either at a photo store or at home on
your own printer.
If you go to a photo store, it is a good idea to
store the print reservation data on the card
first. This lets you select the pictures you
want to print and decide how many prints
you want.
If you print the pictures at home, you can
either connect the camera directly to the
printer or you can connect the camera to a

TIPS
• For details of printing paper types, ink cassettes, etc., refer to the printer’s
instruction manual.
Note
• You are recommended to use the optional AC adapter when printing pictures.
If you use the battery, make sure that it is fully charged. If the camera stops
operating while communicating with the printer, the printer may malfunction or
image data may be lost.

Print settings (DPOF)
Print reservation allows you to save printing data (the number of prints and the date/
time information) with the pictures stored on the card.
With print reservation, you can print out pictures easily either at home using a
personal DPOF-compatible printer or at a print shop that supports DPOF. DPOF is
a standard format used to record automatic print information from digital cameras.
You can print out pictures automatically, at home or at a photo shop, by storing data,
such as which pictures you want to print and the number of prints, on the card.
Pictures with print reservations can be printed using the following procedures.
Printing using a DPOF-compatible print shop.
You can print the pictures using the print reservation data.
Printing using a DPOF-compatible printer.
Printing is possible directly from a card containing print reservation data without
using a computer. For more details, refer to the printer’s instruction manual. A
PC card adapter may also be necessary.
How to make print reservations
TIPS
Relation between printing and record mode when shooting
The resolution of a computer/printer is generally based on the number of dots
(pixels) per square inch. This is called dpi (dots per inch). The higher the dpi
value, the better the printed results. Keep in mind, however, that the dpi of the
picture does not change. This means that when you print an image with a
higher resolution, the size of the printed picture will be smaller. Although you
can print magnified images, picture quality will decrease.
If you want to print large, high-quality pictures, set the record mode as high as
possible when taking the pictures. g“Record mode” (P.26)

Safety Precautions
WARNING
( Do not use the camera near flammable or explosive gases.
• To avoid causing a fire or explosion, never use the camera near
flammable or explosive gases.
( Do not use the flash on people (infants, small children, etc.) at
close range.
•
Use caution when taking flash pictures at close range. When you fire the
flash, you must be at least 1 m (3 ft.) away from the faces of your subjects,
especially when taking pictures of infants and small children. Firing the flash
too close to the subject’s eyes could cause a momentary loss of vision.
( Keep young children and infants away from the camera.
• Always use and store the camera out of the reach of young children and
infants to prevent the following dangerous situations which could cause
serious injury:
• Becoming entangled in the camera strap, causing strangulation.
• Accidentally swallowing the battery, cards or other small parts.
•
Accidentally firing the flash into their own eyes or those of another child.
• Accidentally being injured by the moving parts of the camera.
( Do not look at the sun or strong lights with the camera.
• To avoid damaging your eyes, never aim the camera directly into the
sun, or any other extremely bright light source.
( Do not touch a charging battery or the battery charger until
charging is finished and the battery has cooled.
• The battery and battery charger become hot while charging. A specified
AC adapter also becomes hot during long use. At these times, they may
cause minor burns.
( Do not use or store the camera in dusty or humid places.
• Using or storing the camera in dusty or humid places may result in a fire
or electric shock.

Appendix
( Do not cover the flash with a hand while firing.
• Do not cover the flash with a hand while firing or touch it after it has just
been fired. It may be hot and cause minor burns. Avoid using the flash
for extended periods.
( Do not take apart or modify the camera.
• Never attempt to disassemble the camera. The internal circuits contain
high voltage points which could cause serious burns or electrical shock.
( Do not let water or foreign objects inside the camera.
• If the camera is accidentally dropped in water, or if liquid is spilled into
the camera, stop using it, allow it to dry, and then remove the battery.
Contact the nearest authorized Olympus service center.
CAUTION
( Stop using the camera immediately if you notice any unusual
odors, noise, or smoke around it.
• If you notice any unusual odors, noise, or smoke around the camera
during operation, switch it off immediately – and disconnect a specified
AC adapter (if attached). Allow the camera to sit idle for a few minutes to
cool. Take the camera outdoors, away from flammable objects, and
carefully remove the battery. Never remove the battery with bare hands,
which may cause a fire or burn your hands. Contact the nearest Olympus
service center immediately.
( Do not use the camera with wet hands.
• To avoid dangerous electrical shock, never hold or operate the camera
with wet hands.
( Do not leave the camera in places where it may be subject to
extremely high temperatures.
• Doing so may cause parts to deteriorate and, in some circumstances,
cause the camera to catch fire. Do not use the charger or AC adapter if
it is covered (such as a blanket). This could cause overheating, resulting
in fire.
( Handle the camera with care to avoid getting a low-
temperature burn.
• When the camera contains metal parts, overheating can result in a low-
temperature burn. Pay attention to the following:
•
When used for a long period, the camera will get hot. If you hold on to
the camera in this state, a low-temperature burn may be caused.
•
In places subject to extremely cold temperatures, the temperature of the
camera’s body may be lower than the environmental temperature. If
possible, wear gloves when handling the camera in cold temperatures.
( Be careful with the strap.
• Be careful with the strap when you carry the camera. It could easily catch
on stray objects – and cause serious damage.
Safety Precautions
168

• Never drop the camera or subject it to severe shocks or vibrations.
• When mounted on a tripod, adjust the position of the camera with the tripod
head. Do not twist the camera.
• Do not touch electric contacts on cameras.
• Do not leave the camera pointed directly at the sun. This may cause lens or
shutter curtain damage, color failure, ghosting on the CCD, or may possibly
cause fires.
• Do not push or pull severely on the lens.
• Before storing the camera for a long period, remove the battery. Select a
cool, dry location for storage to prevent condensation or mold from forming
inside the camera. After storage, test the camera by turning it on and
pressing the shutter release button to make sure that it is operating normally.
• Always observe the operating environment restrictions described in the
camera’s manual.
• The card is a precision electronic device. Do not bend it or subject it to impact
and keep it away from static electricity. The data stored on the card is saved
in a nonvolatile semiconductor memory, but it can be accidentally destroyed.
• Do not expose the card to water or leave it where there is a lot of dust.
• Avoid using or storing the card in places of high temperature and high
humidity.
• Avoid using near heat-generating or combustible materials.
• Fingerprints or dirt on the card contacts may prevent correct reading/writing
of data. Wipe the contacts gently with a soft dry cloth.
• The card has a limited product life. Eventually, writing or erasing data
from the card no longer becomes possible.
• Olympus is not responsible for any damage to data saved in other
media or loss of data stored on the card.

Appendix
• Do not push the monitor forcibly; otherwise the image may become vague,
resulting in a Display mode failure or damage to the monitor.
• A strip of light may appear on the top/bottom of the monitor, but this is not a
malfunction.
• When a subject is viewed diagonally in the camera, the edges may appear
zigzagged on the monitor. This is not a malfunction; it will be less noticeable
in playback mode.
• In places subject to low temperatures, the LCD monitor may take a long time
to turn on or its color may change temporarily. When using the camera in
extremely cold places, it is a good idea to occasionally place it in a warm
place. An LCD monitor exhibiting poor performance due to low temperatures
will recover in normal temperatures.
• The LCD used for the monitor is made with high-precision technology.
However, black spots or bright spots of light may appear constantly on the
LCD Monitor. Due to its characteristics or the angle at which you are viewing
the monitor, the spot may not be uniform in color and brightness. This is not
a malfunction.

Glossary of terms
A (Aperture Priority) Mode
You set the aperture yourself and the camera automatically varies the shutter speed
so that the picture is taken with the best exposure.
AE (Automatic Exposure)
The camera automatically sets the exposure. The 3 AE modes available on this
camera are P mode, in which the camera selects both the aperture and shutter
speed, A mode, in which the user selects the aperture and the camera sets the
shutter speed, and S mode, in which the user selects the shutter speed and the
camera sets the aperture. In M mode, the user selects both the aperture and the
shutter speed.
Aperture
The adjustable lens opening which controls the amount of light that enters the
camera. The larger the aperture, the shorter the depth of field and the fuzzier the
background. The smaller the aperture, the greater the depth of field and the sharper
the background. Larger aperture values indicate smaller apertures, and smaller
aperture values indicate larger apertures.
CCD (Charge-Coupled Device)
This converts light passing through the lens into electrical signals. On this camera,
light is picked up and converted into RGB signals to build a single image.
Contrast Detection Method
This is used to measure the distance to the subject. The camera determines if the
image is focused by the level of contrast in the subject.
Conventional Photograph
This refers to recording images using silver halide (the method for recording images
in conventional, non-digital photography). This system is in contrast to still video and
digital photography.
DCF (Design Rule for Camera File System)
A standard for image files by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology
Industries Association (JEITA).
Depth of Field
The subject itself as well as some area to the front and rear of the subject are
focused. The entire depth of this focused area, from the front to the rear of the
subject, is called “depth of field”.
DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)
This is for saving desired print settings on digital cameras. By entering which images
to print and the number of copies of each, the user can easily have the desired
images printed by a printer or print lab that supports the DPOF format.
Glossary of terms
173

Appendix
Eclipsing (Vignetting)
This refers to when an object obscures part of the field of view so that the whole
subject is not photographed. Vignetting also refers to when the image seen through
the viewfinder does not exactly match the image shot through the objective lens, so
the photographed image includes objects not seen through the viewfinder. In
addition, vignetting can occur when an incorrect lens hood is used, causing
shadowing to appear in the corners of the image.
ESP (Electro-Selective Pattern) Light Metering/Digital ESP Light
Metering
This determines the exposure by metering and calculating the light levels in the
center and other areas of the image separately.
EV (Exposure Value)
A system for measuring exposure. EV0 is when the aperture is at F1 and the shutter
speed is 1 second. The EV then increases by 1 each time the aperture increases by
one F stop or the shutter speed increases by one increment. EV can also be used to
indicate brightness and ISO settings.
Exposure
The amount of light used to capture an image. The exposure is determined by the
time the shutter is open (shutter speed) and the amount of light that passes through
the lens (aperture).
Image size
The size of an image expressed by the number of pixels that make up the image. For
instance, a picture taken with an image size of 640 × 480 fills the computer screen
when the monitor setting is 640 × 480. However, if the monitor setting is
1,024 × 768, the picture only takes up part of the screen.
ISO
A method for indicating film speed by the International Organization for
Standardization (ISO) (ex. “ISO100”). Higher ISO values indicate greater sensitivity
to light, so images can be exposed even in low-light conditions.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)
A compression format for still images. Photographs (images) shot using this camera
are recorded onto the card in JPEG format when the record mode is set to SHQ, HQ,
SQ1 or SQ2. By downloading these images to a personal computer, users can edit
them using graphics application software or view the images using an Internet web
browser.
M (Manual) Mode
The user sets both the aperture and shutter speed.
NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) / PAL (Phase
Alternating Line)
Television formats. NTSC is mainly used in Japan, North America and Korea. PAL
is mainly used in Europe and China.
P (Program) Mode
Also called Program AE mode. The camera automatically sets the best shutter
speed and aperture for the shot.
Glossary of terms
174
10
Appendix
PictBridge
A standard for connecting digital cameras and printers of different makers and
printing out pictures directly.
Pixels
A pixel is the smallest unit (dot) used to make up an image. Clear large-sized printed
images require millions of pixels.
S (Shutter Priority) Mode
Also called Shutter Priority AE mode. The user selects the shutter speed and the
camera automatically varies the aperture so that the picture is taken with the best
exposure.
Sleep Mode
A mode designed to save battery life. The camera automatically enters the sleep
mode if you do not operate it for a certain time. To exit the sleep mode, use any
button on the camera (shutter button, arrow pad, etc.).
TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) Color Monitor
A transistor color monitor constructed using thin-film technology.
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format)
A format used for saving highly detailed black and white or color image data. TIFF
image files can be handled by software programs for scanners and graphics
applications. This camera uses TIFF in an uncompressed format.
TTL (Through-The-Lens) System
To help adjust exposure, a light receptor built into the camera directly measures the
light passing through the lens.
