Setting the Exposure Effect of Aperture and Shutter Speed ƈ Correct exposure of the subject is determined by the combination of shutter speed and aperture setting. There are many correct combinations of shutter speed and aperture for a particular subject. Different combinations produce different effects. Effect of Shutter Speed ƈ The shutter speed determines the length of time that light is allowed to strike the CCD. Adjusting the shutter speed alters the amount of light striking the CCD.
Setting the Exposure Effect of Aperture ƈ Adjust the amount of light hitting the CCD by changing the aperture. ƃ Opening the aperture (reduce the aperture value) Objects closer and farther than the focused subject will be out of focus. For instance, if you take a picture of flower against a landscape with the aperture open, the landscape in front and behind the flower will be blurred, emphasizing only the flower.
Setting the Exposure How to Check Depth of Field ƈ When you focus on a portion of the subject, there is a range in which object closer and farther will also be in focus.

Glossary AdobeRGB Colour space recommended by Adobe Systems, Inc. for commercial printing. Wider range of colour reproduction than sRGB. Covers most of the colour range so colours only available when printed are not lost when editing images from a computer. When image is opened by non-compatible software, the colours look lighter. AE Metering Brightness of subject is measured to determine exposure. In this camera, select from [Multi-segment Metering], [Center-weighted Metering] and [Spot Metering].
Glossary Colour space A defined range of colours from the spectrum which are used. In digital cameras, [sRGB] is defined as the standard Colour Space by Exif. In this camera, [AdobeRGB] is also used because of its richer colour expression over sRGB. Colour Temperature This numerically expresses the colour of the light source illuminating the subject. This is indicated in absolute temperature, using Kelvin (K) units.
Glossary Histogram A graph that shows the darkest and brightest points in an image. The horizontal axis represents the brightness and the vertical axis represents the number of pixels. This is useful when you wish to refer to the exposure status of an image. JPEG An image compression method. The image is recorded in JPEG format when the quality level is set to (Best), (Better), or (Good). Images recorded in JPEG format are suited for viewing on your PC or for attaching to e-mail.
Glossary Recorded Pixels Indicates the size of the image by the number of pixels. The more pixels that compose a picture, the larger the image size. Sensitivity The sensitivity of the camera to light; the equivalent of film speed in a camera using film. With a high sensitivity, images can be shot with a high shutter speed even in dimly lit places, reducing camera shake. However, images with high sensitivity are more susceptible to noise.
