Glossary of terms (Cont.) 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. Pixels A pixel is the smallest unit (dot) used to make up an image. Clear large-sized printed images require a large number of pixels. Ring Flash A flash unit that uses a circular xenon fluorescent tube as its light source. 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). 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. Flash Bracket A mount used to attach an external flash to the camera. Synchro Terminals Terminals on an external flash unit for connecting it to the camera. ISO A method for indicating film speed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) (e.g. "ISO100"). TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) Color Monitor A color Monitor constructed using thinfilm technology. Higher ISO values indicate greater TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) 9 sensitivity to light, so images can be exposed even in low-light conditions. An uncompressed format used for saving highly-detailed black & white or JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) A compression format for color still color image data. TIFF image files can be handled by software programs for scanners and graphics applications. images. Photographs (images) shot using this camera are recorded onto the SmartMedia card in JPEG format when the Record mode is set to SHQ, HQ or SQ. By downloading these images to a personal computer, users can edit them TTL (Through-The-Lens) System To help adjust exposure, a light receptor built into the camera directly measures the light passing through the lens. using graphics application software or TTL-AUTO view the images using an Internet web For use with an external flash. Light browser. emitted by the flash is measured by the M (Manual) Mode The user sets both the aperture and shutter speed. light receptor in the camera as it passes through the lens. A signal is then sent to adjust the external flash's intensity. P (Program) Mode Also called Program AE mode. The camera automatically sets the best shutter speed and aperture for the shot. 196
