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 correct exposure.
AE (Automatic Exposure)
The camera’s built-in exposure meter 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. Aperture is measured in f / stops. Larger
aperture values indicate smaller apertures, and smaller aperture values indicate larger apertures.
Center weighted averaging metering
A light metering mode or technique that uses an average of the center and periphery of the image area
but is biased toward the information at the center of the image area. This method is best used when
the brightness of the center and periphery of the image area does not vary greatly. See also digital
ESP metering and spot metering.
Color space
A model that describes colors using more than three coordinates. Color spaces such as sRGB, Adobe
RGB are occasionally used for encoding / reproducing colors.
Color temperature
The spectral balance of different white light sources is rated numerically by color temperature – a
concept of theoretical physics that, with incandescent lighting, corresponds roughly to the absolute
lamp filament temperature, expressed on the Kelvin (K) temperature scale. The higher the color
temperature, the richer the light in bluish tones and the poorer in reddish; the lower the color
temperature, the richer the light in reddish tones and the poorer in bluish. You may encounter
difficulties with color reproduction when shooting indoors under fluorescent lighting, or where sunlight
and fluorescent lighting are both present. Your camera is provided with a white balance adjustment
feature that you can use to compensate for the odd effects of combinations of color you may
occasionally see in your pictures.
