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. On this camera, light is picked up and converted into RGB signals to build a single image.
Contrast Detection System
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.
Digital ESP (Electro-Selective Pattern) Light Metering
This determines the exposure by metering and calculating the light levels in the center and other areas of the image separately.
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 specified sensors phase difference detection system, nullifying the shortcoming of each system.
