STANDARD All printers that support PictBridge have standard print settings. By selecting STANDARD on the settings screens (~ P. 132 to 139), you can print images according to these settings. For details on your printers standard settings, refer to the printers instruction manual or contact the printer manufacturer.
For details of printing paper types, ink cassettes, etc., refer to the printers instruction manual. 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 Note the camera stops operating while communicating with the printer, the printer may malfunction or image data may be lost. Movies cannot be printed. The camera will not enter sleep mode when connected to the USB cable.

Glossary

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 cameras 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. Larger aperture values indicate smaller apertures, and smaller aperture values indicate larger apertures.

Backlight

A light source to illuminate the monitor from behind the screen.
CCD (Charge-Coupled Device)
This converts light passing through the lens into electrical signals. With 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 images recorded using silver halide (the method for recording images in conventional, non-digital photography). This system is different from that used in 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).
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.

Dual Auto Focus

An auto focus system that uses two different focus detection systems in combination. This camera uses the CCDs contrast detection system in combination with the passive autofocus system, nullifying the shortcomings of each system.

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.
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).
A method for indicating film speed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) (e.g. 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.
