About histograms

A histogram is a graph that illustrates how light is distributed in your photo. If the histogram has a high peak on the left, the photo is underexposed and will appear dark. A peak on the right of the graph means that the photo is overexposed and will appear washed out. The height of the peaks is related to color information. The more of a particular color, the taller the peak.

  • If the camera does not recognize an appropriate scene mode, it uses the default settings for the Smart Auto mode.
  • Even if it detects a face, the camera may not select a portrait mode depending on the subject's position or lighting.
  • The camera may not select the correct scene depending on the shooting conditions, such as camera shake, lighting, or distance to the subject.
  • Even if you use a tripod, the camera may not detect the mode if the subject is moving.
  • The camera consumes more battery power, because it changes settings often to select appropriate scenes.

Using the Program mode

In Program mode, you can set most options, except the shutter speed and aperture value, which the camera sets automatically.

Using the Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, or Manual mode

Adjust the aperture value or shutter speed to control the exposure of your photos. You can use these options in the Aperture Priority, Shutter Priority, and Manual modes.

Aperture value

The aperture is a hole that lets light into the camera. The aperture housing contains thin, metal plates that open and close, widening or narrowing the aperture, and controlling the amount of light that enters the camera. The size of the aperture is closely related to the brightness of a photo: the larger the aperture, the brighter the photo; the smaller the aperture, the darker the photo. Note that the larger the aperture value, the smaller the aperture size. For example, an aperture set to 5.6 is larger than an aperture set to 11.

SAMSUNG WB2014F - Aperture value - 1

▲ Small aperture value (The size of the aperture is large.)

SAMSUNG WB2014F - Aperture value - 2

natural_image Close-up of dense green leafy plants with no visible text or symbols

▲ Large aperture value (The size of the aperture is small.)

Shutter speed

Shutter speed, which is an important factor in the brightness of a photo, refers to the amount of time it takes to open and close the shutter. A slow shutter speed allows more time to let light in. All things being equal, photos are brighter, but fast moving objects tend to blur. On the other hand, a fast shutter speed allows less time to let light in. Photos are darker, but objects in motion are captured more clearly.

Using or storing the camera

Inappropriate places to use or store the camera

  • Avoid exposing the camera to very cold or very hot temperatures.
  • Avoid using your camera in areas with extremely high humidity, or where the humidity changes drastically.
  • Avoid exposing the camera to direct sunlight and storing it in hot, poorly ventilated areas, such as in a car during summer time.
  • Protect your camera and the display from impact, rough handling, and excessive vibration to avoid serious damage.
  • Avoid using or storing your camera in dusty, dirty, humid, or poorly ventilated areas to prevent damage to moving parts and internal components.
  • Do not use your camera near fuels, combustibles, or flammable chemicals. Do not store or carry flammable liquids, gases, or explosive materials in the same compartment as the camera or its accessories.
  • Do not store the camera where there are mothballs.

Using on beaches or shores

  • Protect your camera from sand and dirt when you use it on beaches or in similar areas.
  • Your camera is not waterproof. Do not handle the battery, adapter, or memory card with wet hands. Operating the camera with wet hands may cause damage to your camera.

Storing for extended period of time

  • When you store the camera for an extended period, place it in a sealed container with an absorbent material, such as silica gel.
    • Over time, unused batteries will discharge and must be recharged before use.
  • You must reset the date and time when you turn the camera on after the camera and battery have been separated for a prolonged period.

Using the camera with caution in humid environments

When you transfer the camera from a cold environment to a warm one, condensation can form on the lens or internal components of the camera. In this situation, turn off the camera and wait for at least 1 hour. If condensation forms on the memory card, remove the memory card from the camera and wait until all moisture has evaporated before reinserting it.

Other cautions

  • Do not swing your camera by the strap. This may cause injury to yourself or others or damage to your camera.
  • Do not paint your camera, as paint can clog moving parts and prevent proper operation.
  • Turn off the camera when not using it.

Camera maintenance

  • Your camera contains delicate parts. Avoid impacts to the camera.
  • Protect the display from external force by keeping it in the case when not in use. Protect the camera from scratches by keeping it away from sand, sharp implements, or loose change.

  • Never place cameras, batteries, chargers, or accessories near, on, or in heating devices, such as microwave ovens, stoves, or radiators. Heat can deform or overheat these devices, which can cause a fire or explosion.
  • Do not expose the lens to direct sunlight, as this may discolor the image sensor or cause it to malfunction.
  • Protect the lens from fingerprints and scratches. Clean the lens with a soft, clean, debris-free lens cloth.
  • The camera may turn off if struck or dropped. This is to protect the memory card. Turn on the camera to use it again.
  • While you use the camera, it may heat up. This is normal and should not affect your camera's lifespan or performance.

Glossary

ACB (Auto Contrast Balance)

This feature automatically improves the contrast of your images when the subject is backlit or when there is a high contrast between your subject and the background.

AEB (Auto Exposure Bracket)

This feature automatically captures several images at different exposures to help you capture a properly-exposed image.

AF (Auto Focus)

A system that automatically focuses the camera lens on the subject. Your camera uses the contrast to focus automatically.

Aperture

The aperture controls the amount of light that reaches the camera's sensor.

Camera shake (Blur)

If the camera is moved while the shutter is open, the entire image may appear blurred. This occurs more often when the shutter speed is slow. Prevent camera shake by raising the sensitivity, using the flash, or using a faster shutter speed. Alternately, use a tripod, the DIS or OIS function to stabilize the camera.

Composition

Composition in photography means arranging objects in a photo. Usually, abiding by the rule of thirds leads to a good composition.

DCF (Design rule for Camera File system)

A specification to define a file format and file system for digital cameras created by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA).

Depth of field

The distance between the nearest and farthest points that can be acceptably focused in a photograph. Depth of field varies with lens aperture, focal length, and distance from the camera to the subject. For example, using a smaller f-number will create a large depth of field and blur the background in the composition.

Digital zoom

A feature that artificially increases the amount of zoom available with a zoom lens (Optical zoom). When using the Digital zoom, the image quality will deteriorate as the magnification increases.

EV Compensation

This feature allows you to quickly adjust the exposure value measured by the camera, in limited increments, to improve the exposure of your photos. Set the EV compensation to -1.0 EV to adjust the value one step darker and 1.0 EV to one step brighter.

EV (Exposure Value)

All the combinations of the camera's shutter speed and lens aperture that result in the same exposure.

Exif (Exchangeable Image File Format)

A specification to define an image file format for digital cameras created by the Japan Electronic Industries Development Association (JEIDA).

Exposure

The amount of light allowed to reach the camera's sensor. Exposure is controlled by a combination of the shutter speed, the aperture value, and ISO sensitivity.

Flash

A speed light that helps to create adequate exposure in low-light conditions.

Focal length

The distance from the middle of the lens to its focal point (in millimeters). Longer focal lengths result in narrower angles of view and the subject is magnified. Shorter focal lengths result in wider angles of view.

Histogram

A graphical representation of the brightness of an image. The horizontal axis represents the brightness and the vertical axis represents the number of pixels. High points at the left (too dark) and right (too bright) on the histogram indicate a photo that is improperly exposed.

H.264/MPEG-4

A high-compression video format established by international standard organizations ISO-IEC and ITU-T and developed by the Joint Video Team (JVT). This codec is capable of providing good video quality at low bit rates.

Image sensor

The physical part of a digital camera that contains a photosite for each pixel in the image. Each photosite records the brightness of the light that strikes it during an exposure. Common sensor types are CCD (Charge-coupled Device) and CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor).

ISO sensitivity

The sensitivity of the camera to light, based on the equivalent film speed used in a film camera. At higher ISO sensitivity settings, the camera uses a higher shutter speed, which can reduce blur caused by camera shake and low light. However, images with high sensitivity are more susceptible to noise.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

A lossy method of compression for digital images. JPEG images are compressed to reduce their overall file size with minimal deterioration of the image resolution.

LCD (Liquid Crystal Display)

A visual display commonly used in consumer electronics. This display needs a separate backlight, such as CCFL or LED, to reproduce colors.

Macro

This feature allows you to capture close-up photos of very small objects. When using the macro feature, the camera can maintain a sharp focus on small objects at a near life-size ratio (1:1).

Metering

The metering refers to the way in which the camera measures the quantity of light to set the exposure.

MJPEG (Motion JPEG)

A video format which is compressed as a JPEG image.

NFC (Near Field Communication)

NFC is a set of standards for radio communication at very close proximity. You can use NFC-enabled devices to activate features or exchange data with other devices.

Noise

Misinterpreted pixels in a digital image that may appear as misplaced or random, bright pixels. Noise usually occurs when photos are shot with a high sensitivity or when a sensitivity is automatically set in a dark place.

OIS (Optical Image Stabilization)

This feature compensates in real time for shaking and vibrating while shooting. There is no image degradation compared to Digital Image Stabilization feature.

Glossary

Optical zoom

This is a general zoom which can enlarge images with a lens and does not degrade the quality of images.

Quality

An expression of the rate of compression used in a digital image. Higher quality images have a lower rate of compression, which usually results in a larger file size.

Resolution

The number of pixels present in a digital image. High resolution images contain more pixels and typically show more detail than low resolution images.

Shutter speed

Shutter speed refers to the amount of time it takes to open and close the shutter, and it is an important factor in the brightness of a photo, as it controls the amount of light which passes through the aperture before it reaches the image sensor. A fast shutter speed allows less time to let light in and the photo becomes darker and more easily freezes subjects in motion.

Vignetting

A reduction of an image's brightness or saturation at the periphery (outer edges) compared to the center of the image. Vignetting can draw interest to subjects positioned in the center of an image.

White balance (color balance)

An adjustment of the intensities of colors (typically the primary colors red, green, and blue) in an image. The goal of adjusting the white balance, or color balance, is to correctly render the colors in an image.
