Explanation of Terms
AF/AE Lock:
On the FinePix2600 ZOOM, pressing the shutter button down
half way locks the focus and exposure settings (AF and AE
lock). If you want to focus on a subject that is not centered in
the frame or change the picture composition after the
exposure is set, you can obtain good results by changing the
composition after the AF and AE settings are locked.
DPOF:
Digital Print Order Format
DPOF is a format used for recording information on a
storage media (image memory card, etc.) that allows you to
specify which of the frames shot using a digital camera are
printed and how many prints are made of each image.
EV:
A number that denotes exposure. The EV is determined by
the brightness of the subject and sensitivity (speed) of the
film or CCD. The number is larger for bright subjects and
smaller for dark subjects. As the brightness of the subject
changes, a digital camera maintains the amount of light
hitting the CCD at a constant level by adjusting the aperture
and shutter speed.
When the amount of light striking the CCD doubles, the EV
increases by 1. Likewise, when the light is halved, the EV
decreases by 1.
JPEG:
Joint Photographics Experts Group
A file format used for compressing and saving color images.
The compression ratio can be selected, but the higher the
compression ratio, the poorer the quality of the expanded
image.
Motion JPEG:
A type of AVI (Audio Video Interleave) file format that handles
images and sound as a single file. Images in the file are
recorded in JPEG format. Motion JPEG can be played back
by QuickTime 3.0 or later. You can use the following software
to play back movies on your personal computer.
PC Card:
A generic term for cards that meet the PC Card Standard.
PC Card Standard:
A standard for PC cards determined by the PCMCIA.
PCMCIA:
Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (US).
White Balance:
Whatever the kind of the light, the human eye adapts to it so
that a white object still looks white. On the other hand, devices
such as digital cameras see a white subject as white by first
adjusting the color balance to suit the color of the ambient light
around the subject. This adjustment is called matching the
white balance. A function that automatically matches the white
balance is called
an Automatic White Balance function
.
