Whenever possible, avoid subjecting the camera to sudden changes in temperature.When taking the camera overseas or using it to record important events, check its operating condition and take test pictures beforehand to confirm proper operation.This camera is a precision electronic instrument, and should be protected from impacts and falls that might cause damage to internal parts or the emitting smoke and ignition by the shorting of circuitry.This camera is an electronic device which uses a high-performance IC. During use, the camera may grow warm due to heat emitted by IC. While this is normal, note that holding the camera for long periods risks low temperature burns.This camera is not designed to be waterproof, and cannot be used in the rain or under water. If the camera should inadvertently be exposed to water, it should be taken quickly to a Kyocera/Yashica Service Center for inspection.Take great care to keep the photography lens and light sensor clean since soiling such as fingerprints can affect the accuracy of the camera's metering and focusing functions. If these areas become soiled and require cleaning, wipe them gently with a third-party lens cleaning cloth. Any dust should be removed using a blower or lens brush.Clean the camera body by wiping with soft cloth. Never use benzene, thinner, or other volatile solvents or cleansers, since such substances will damage the body materials.Do not remove the SD memory card or MultiMedia Card (MMC) while the card access LED is flashing (e.g. immediately after photography or playback).Interference may occur in recorded or played back images when the camera is used in areas subject to strong electromagnetic interference (e.g., near a television set or stereo speakers).If the camera is dropped, it may be damaged internally or parts may have been dislodged even when there is no visible external damage. The camera must be taken to a Kyocera/Yashica Service Center for checking.Do not attempt to touch the insides of the memory card slot, since damage or malfunction may result.

This camera incorporates a safety circuit to protect its microcomputer against strong external static electricity. Though rarely, it may fail to function because this safety circuit has come into action. In this case, turn off the camera's power, remove the batteries, reload them and use the camera again.

For best performance, we recommend the use of genuine Kyocera accessories. Kyocera is not responsible for any accidents or damage caused by the use of accessories made by other manufacturers or fashioned by the user.

CAUTION

• Store the camera in a well-ventilated location, avoiding damp or dusty areas, drawers or boxes containing mothballs, or in laboratories or other locations where chemicals are handled. Exposure to such chemical fumes can result in damage to the camera's circuitry, resulting in short circuits and causing the camera to emit smoke or catch fire.
• Do not leave the camera for long periods in places subject to high temperatures, such as on a beach in summer or inside a car in full sun, as this can degrade the performance of the SD memory card or MultiMedia card and cause camera faults.
• Remove the batteries before storing the camera for extended periods of time, to prevent battery leakage and resulting damage.

CAUTION

• Rubbing or pressing strongly on the LCD monitor screen can result in damage or malfunctions. If there is dust or dirt on the LCD monitor, blow it off with a blower brush. Heavy soiling should be wiped off using soft cloth.
• If the LCD monitor should become broken, take precautions to prevent personal injury from glass fragments.
• If the LCD monitor breaks and its liquid contacts your skin, quickly wipe away any remaining liquid and wash the skin with soap and water. If the liquid should enter the eyes, wash with clean running water for at least 15 minutes, then seek medical attention immediately.
• Due to the innate characteristics of LCD panels, a few pixels may appear permanently lighted or may not light at all. This is not a malfunction, and does not affect the recorded image in any way.
• The LCD monitor may appear difficult to see in some outdoor lighting situations.

⚠️DANGER

• Do not apply solder directly to batteries, throw batteries into a fire, or attempt to heat, disassemble or modify batteries. Heat can melt the battery insulation and damage protective mechanisms such as the gas escape valve, causing the battery to leak fluid, overheat or explode.

⚠️WARNING

• Never perform any of the following action as they could cause the batteries to explode and cause a fire, injury or damage to the surroundings.1Do not use batteries other than those specified for use with this camera.2Do not reverse the battery terminals (+ and -).3Do not attempt to charge the following types of battery:• AA manganese batteries• AA alkaline batteries• AA lithium batteries• Any contact between battery fluid and the eyes can result in blindness. Avoid rubbing the affected eyes and flush thoroughly with clean water (tap water, etc.). Seek medical treatment immediately.• Avoid contact between the positive (+) and negative (-) battery terminals and metal objects such as pins, and do not carry or store batteries with objects such as necklaces or hairpins. This can result in a battery short-circuit, causing the battery to leak fluid, overheat or explode.• Do not peel off or scratch the external casing of a battery. This increases the risk of a battery short-circuit and may cause the battery to leak fluid, overheat or explode.• Do not use batteries that are leaking fluid or that are discolored, deformed or otherwise abnormal as this may cause the batteries to overheat or explode.• Leaked battery fluid that gets on your skin or clothing can cause skin damage. Immediately flush the affected area with clean water (tap water, etc.).• Avoid wetting batteries with fresh or salt water as this may cause the batteries to overheat and could cause rusting of the battery terminals.• Keep batteries out of the reach of an infant. If the battery is swallowed, any damage to the battery could cause the battery fluid to leak and injure the person's stomach or intestines. Seek medical advice immediately.

⚠CAUTION

Batteries normally suffer a temporary loss of performance at low temperatures. Before and after using the camera in cold locations, keep the batteries warm by holding them inside clothing or inside thermal insulation. Batteries with impaired performance at lower temperatures will return to normal at room temperature.Soiling such as sweat or grease on the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of a battery can cause contact problems. Wipe the batteries carefully with a dry cloth before using them.When taking the camera on a long trip, keep spare new batteries as a backup.The camera will not operate if the batteries are inserted with the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals reversed.Do not leave batteries in locations subject to high temperatures, such as close to heater or other heat source, inside a car on a hot day, or in a location exposed to direct sunlight.When batteries will not be used for a long period, remove them from the camera and store them in a cool, dry location. Leaving batteries in the camera may cause them to leak fluid or overheat and could cause a fire.Batteries may feel hot immediately after use and could cause burns. Before removing batteries, turn the camera off and wait until the batteries have cooled down.Do not throw batteries around or otherwise subject them to strong impacts as this may cause them to leak fluid, overheat or explode.Do not use new and old batteries together or different types or brands of batteries together.

⚠️DANGER

• Do not attempt to connect batteries directly to a power outlet or car cigarette lighter without using the charger. This could result in very large current flows due to a short circuit or the application of high voltages, causing the battery to leak fluid, overheat or explode.

WARNING

·If NiMH batteries charging is not completed even after the designated charging time has passed, stop battery charging. Continuing to charge batteries in this situation may cause the batteries to leak fluid or overheat.·Do not use batteries with the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals reversed. Charging batteries when the terminals are reversed can cause abnormal reactions inside the batteries or unexpected abnormal current flows during discharging, causing the batteries to leak fluid, overheat or explode.

CAUTION

When charging batteries, use the dedicated charger and follow the procedures provided in the "Instructions" for the batteries and charger to ensure correct charging.When you are using multiple batteries, they should all be charged at the same time. Do not use charged and discharged batteries or different types or brands of battery together.

• When the battery contact plates or battery terminals are soiled, wipe them with a dry cloth. Fingerprints or other soiling on the camera's battery contact plates or on the battery terminals can cause significant electrical resistance and reduce the number of available shots. Wipe the camera's battery contact plates and the battery terminals clean with a soft, dry cloth.
• The first time you use rechargeable batteries after purchasing them, you should charge and discharge the batteries 2 or 3 times. You should also charge rechargeable batteries that have not been used for 1 week or longer. (This is due to an effect called "deactivation", whereby rechargeable batteries left for long periods gradually self-discharge, resulting in the formation of a film on the internal terminals that hinders the flow of current.)

Even rechargeable batteries that have not been used naturally discharge and lose their capacity if stored for long periods. When this occurs, recharge the batteries before using them. At temperatures of 30^ C or higher, self-discharging may occur frequently and should be taken into account when selecting a storage location. ( See "Charging and discharging batteries".)

- Do not top-up the charge in a rechargeable battery. Whenever possible, charge batteries fully once they are completely discharged rather than topping up the charge. (This is to avoid the "memory effect", whereby repeated topping up of the battery charge without fully discharging the battery results in a lower apparent battery capacity and shortens the time for which the battery can be used, even though the battery has not reached the end of its service life.)

Even when "LOW BATTERY" is displayed after you take a picture, you may still be able to turn the camera on in Playback mode. When this occurs, the battery charge is not fully depleted and you should discharge the batteries fully before recharging them. (→ See "Charging and discharging batteries".)

• Remove the batteries from the camera if you do not intend to use it for a long period. Even when the camera is turned off a very small current continues to flow. Leaving the batteries in the camera for a long period can result in the batteries being overdischarged and unusable even when recharged.
• If batteries quickly run out of charge, they may be subject to the memory effect or they may be deactivated or have reached the end of their service life. The memory effect and deactivation can be corrected by repeatedly charging and discharging the batteries. If the batteries run out of charge after you have taken only a few shots, the most likely cause is that the battery capacity is low, so that you can take shots immediately after charging the batteries but the number of available shots tends to fall to just a few 2 or 3 days later.

Replace batteries that have reached the end of their service lives with new batteries.

NEXTBA

- Nickel-metal hydride (NiMH) batteries also have a limited service life. NiMH batteries that can only be used for a short time even after repeated discharging and charging have probably reached the end of their service lives.

Charging and discharging batteries

1. Charge the batteries.
2. Insert the batteries and a memory card (containing recorded images) into the camera.
3. Turn the camera on, select Playback mode and use the Auto Play function to run a slide show.
4. Leave the camera turned on until the power runs out (batteries fully discharged).
   Repeat this charge/discharge procedure 2 or 3 times.

* If your charger has a discharge function, use the discharge function instead.

Apply insulating tape to the positive (+) and negative (-) terminals of used batteries and, wherever possible, take them to an outlet that participates in a rechargeable battery recycling program.

Test Photos and Warranties

Make it a practice to take test shots before beginning any photography session to confirm that images are being recorded properly. Kyocera will not be held responsible for failure of photographs to be recorded or transmitted to a computer due to defects in the recording media (SD memory card or MultiMedia Card (MMC)).

■When the Memory Card is Full

When you cannot record any more images on a memory card, the

"MEMORY CARD FULL" message appears on the LCD monitor.

When this happens, try the following:

• Erase any unwanted images.
• Save your images on the PC and then erase the images stored on the memory card.
• Insert another memory card that has some available space.

AUTO 2272 F 0 MEMORY CARD FULL [ ]

To erase images on a memory card, you can use [ERASE], [ERASE MULTIPLE] ([SELECT AND ERASE] or [ERASE ALL]) or [FORMAT]. For more information on erasing images, see p.102. For more information on formatting memory cards, see p.151.

To save images to a personal computer, use the USB cable provided. See "Connecting to a Windows PC" (→ p.134) or "Connecting to a Macintosh" (→ p.144) for details.

! Important

• Press the shutter release button lightly with the soft pad of your fingertip. Pressing the button strongly will result in camera shake. (See "Avoiding camera shake" → p.56.)
• When a slow shutter speed is used, the camera displays a camera shake warning icon "###" to indicate that there is a risk of camera shake occurring. Use a tripod to steady the camera and use the self-timer or, depending on the subject, use the flash. (See "Avoiding camera shake" on p.56 and "Using Flash" on p.51.)
• When the flash icon "↓" slowly alternates between red and white after you take a shot, this indicates that the flash is charging. Wait until the LED turn to light before taking the next shots. (See "Using Flash" → p.51.)
• When the card access LED is blinking, data is being read from or written to the card. Do not open the card cover or remove the memory card while the card access LED is blinking as this could cause data corruption or, in some cases, camera damage. Note that you can still take pictures while the card access LED is flashing.

Using Continuous Shooting Mode

This camera is capable of taking a series of consecutive shots at up to approximately 3.3 frames per second.* This feature is useful for photographing moving subjects and for situations where you do not want to miss a snapshot opportunity.

* When using a high-speed memory card.

Important Remove the lens cap before turning the camera on.

1 Set the mode select dial to "☐" and turn the camera on.

2 Compose the shot.

To compose the shot using the LCD monitor, press the VF button ☐EVFLCD to change the display mode.

Important

• To ensure that you obtain true 3.3 frame per second performance, you should format ( p.151) the SD memory card in the camera beforehand. If you repeatedly shoot and erase frames, the continuous shooting speed may drop. If this occurs, save the images to your PC and then format the memory card on the camera before continuing.
• The number of continuous shots that can be taken varies depending on the type and capacity of the memory card in the camera and on the subject. Continuous shooting stops when the memory card is full of recorded images.
• The speed at which data is written to a memory card varies according to the type of card used.
• If you use an SD memory card that is intended for high-speed recording, you can use continuous shooting to shoot at approximately 3.3 frames per second until the memory card is full. (The speed varies depending on the subject.)
• If the subject is dark so that slower shutter speeds are used, the continuous shooting speed may be slower than 3.3 frames per second.
• If you use the flash, each consecutive shot can only be taken when the flash has finished charging.

Note

If you use the self-timer with continuous shooting, 3 high-speed consecutive pictures are taken at a rate of approximately 3.3 frames per second after the specified time has elapsed. (See "[©] Using Self-Timer" on p.46.)

Using Flash

«Applicable modes: 📄 / 📁 / EXT. / SCENE »

This camera has an Automatic Flash mode in which the camera determines whether or not to fire the flash based on the ambient light level. However, there is also a range of other flash modes that you can use to achieve particular effects in your shots.

! Important

When using the flash for close-up shots, you should set the ISO sensitivity to 200 or less. If you set the sensitivity to a high ISO setting and then take close-up shots, the image will be overexposed.

Flash Modes

[↓ AUTO] Auto Flash mode

The camera detects the ambient light level and determines whether to fire the flash.

[ AUTO ] Red-eye Reduction Auto mode

In this mode, the flash reduces the red-eye effect by firing twice: once just before and again when the picture is taken. As in Auto Flash mode, the camera detects the ambient light level and determines whether to fire the flash.

! Important

The shot is taken the second time the flash fires, not the first time. Take care to ensure that neither the camera nor the subject move after the flash fires for the first time.

[④] Flash Off mode

In this mode, the flash never fires, regardless of the ambient light levels. This mode is best for shots of sunsets or shots where you want to retain an indoor ambiance.

Important

• Because the shutter speed used may be slow, depending on the light levels, you should place the camera on a tripod and use the self-timer (→ p.46) to prevent camera shake when the shot is taken.
• If the photographed image is too dark, use the exposure compensation (→ p.57) or ISO sensitivity (→ p.64) settings to adjust the brightness.

[4] Fill-in Flash mode

In this mode, the flash fires regardless of the ambient light conditions. When you take a picture in strong sunlight or when the subject is backlit, this mode allows you to take a picture that clearly shows both the subject and the background.

■Avoiding camera shake

Camera shake refers to the effect of images appearing blurred or out of focus because the camera moved when the picture was taken. This is particularly likely to occur at slow shutter speeds and in macro shots.

This applies particularly to macro shots with high magnifications, where the subject's depth of field is extremely shallow, and even the slight camera movement when the shutter release button is pressed can have a large impact on the image.

In situations of this sort, place the camera on a tripod to take the shot. Still greater stability can be achieved by using the self-timer ( p.46) so that the camera does not move when the shutter release button is pressed.

Adjusting Brightness

[+] Using Exposure Compensation

«Applicable modes: EXT. / SCENE / 1»

Use exposure compensation to adjust the brightness of your images. This function is especially useful for shots where you did not get the ideal exposure because the brightness of subject and background were very different. You can also use this feature when you deliberately want to shoot under- or overexposed images.

This camera allows you to adjust the brightness up to plus or minus 2.0 EV in 1/3 EV increments.

Darker -2.0

Brighter +2.0
±0.0 (Default)

Important Remove the lens cap before turning the camera on.

1 Set the mode select dial to "EXT.", "SCENE" or "×" and turn the camera on.
2 Press the exposure compensation button 📋.

The exposure compensation settings menu appears, along with the compensation values and the image histogram.

4 Press the OK button 📋.

The specified value appears on the LCD monitor.

+2.0

! Important

• The exposure compensation setting does not change after a shot is taken.
• This setting reverts to the default value when the camera is turned off. In "EXT." mode, the setting can be retained by setting Mode Lock (→ p.155) to ON.
• When the flash is used, exposure compensation is limited to between -1.0 and +1.0 EV.
• When EVALUATION ( p.60) is used, the exposure compensation may differ from the specified setting for some subjects.
• If you set the long exposure, you cannot set the exposure compensation.

[AE MODE] Selecting the Exposure Setting Method

«Applicable mode: EXT.»

The available AE (Automatic Exposure) mode settings are [PROGRAM] (automatic), [APER PRTY], and [SHTR PRTY].

In [PROGRAM] mode, the camera automatically sets the shutter speed and aperture settings. This mode is recommended for first-time camera users or when you want to shoot without having to worry about the exposure settings.

In [APER PRTY] mode, you set the aperture and the camera automatically sets the correct shutter speed for the subject brightness.

When you shoot with a low aperture setting, the depth of field in which objects are clearly focused reduces in size. You can use this to take shots in which the subject stands out clearly against an unfocused background. Conversely, high aperture settings give a large depth of field in which objects are sharply focused and can be used to take pictures in which the subject and background are both in focus. (See "Depth of field".)

In [SHTR PRTY] mode, you set the shutter speed and the camera automatically sets the correct aperture for the subject brightness. For example, you can set a fast shutter speed (a low setting) to freeze the movement of a fast-moving subject or a slow shutter speed (a high setting) to take pictures in low-light situations where you cannot use the flash. (See "Shutter speed" on p.178 and "Shutter-priority AE" on p.178.)

[METERING] Selecting the Area Used for Setting the Exposure

«Applicable modes: EXT. / SCENE »

In this mode, you can select the area that the camera uses to set the exposure. The available settings are [EVALUATION], [CENTER] and [SPOT AREA]. Use the setting that best suits your subject.

In [EVALUATION] mode, the screen is partitioned into zones and the optimum exposure is determined based on measurements of the light in each zone. Because this mode allows ordinary shots or even backlit shots to be taken with little or no exposure compensation, it is recommended for novices or for users who want to take pictures without having to worry about the exposure settings.

In [CENTER] mode, the exposure is determined by giving particular weight to measurements of the light from the subject that strikes the central part of the screen. This mode makes it easy for the camera to set the exposure even in shots where there is a strong light source close to the subject.

In [SPOT AREA] mode, the camera determines the exposure by measuring only the light from the subject that strikes the center of the screen. This mode should be used for shots where there is a strong contrast in brightness between the subject and the background, such as a backlit portrait or a shot of a performance where the lighting is focused on a specific part of the stage. You can also use this mode to measure the light from a particular part of your subject when you are trying to achieve a specific effect.

[€] Selecting the Quality (Compression Ratio)

«Applicable modes: 📷 / 📁 / EXT. / SCENE »

You can select [NORMAL] (high compression) or [FINE] (low compression) as the Quality (compression ratio) setting.

Available shots and capacities for different image size and quality (compression ratio) combinations

Refer to the "Specifications" in the Simple Instruction Manual for information on the available shots and capacities.

■Guide to choosing the image size and image quality

For high-quality printing or to give priority to image quality, choose a large number of pixels (image size). For files you want to send as e-mail attachments, choose a small image size to keep the file size small. When image quality is particularly important, select [FINE] as the Quality setting. Otherwise, choosing the [NORMAL] setting will keep the file sizes small and increase the number of pictures you can shoot.

■Tips for Erasing Images Using [PROTECT] and [ERASE ALL]

For example, if you have 100 recorded images and you only want to keep 5 or 6 of them, using [ERASE] or [SELECT AND ERASE] to erase individual images can be very time-consuming.

In a situation like this, where you have a large number of recorded images and you only want to keep a few of them, you can accomplish it in just a few steps using [PROTECT] and [ERASE ALL].

Check that your printer supports DPOF printing or that your local print processing shop provides a DPOF printing service. For more information on the DPOF settings, refer to the instruction manual provided with your DPOF-compatible printer.

Basic Glossary of Digital Camera Terms

AE (Auto Exposure)

Automatic exposure is the function by which the camera automatically adjusts the exposure (the shutter speed and aperture settings) to suit the brightness of the subject.

AF (Auto Focus)

The function by which the camera automatically focuses images.

Aperture

This is a mechanism inside the camera lens that controls the amount of light passing through the lens by changing the size of an opening.

Aperture setting

A number that indicates the size of the aperture opening. Settings are displayed as numbers such as F2.8, and the higher the aperture setting, the smaller the opening and the less light that passes through the lens.

Aperture-priority AE

This is a type of automatic exposure where the photographer selects the aperture setting and the camera then automatically sets the optimum shutter speed for the shot. By setting the aperture, the photographer can control the depth of field in the shot.

CCD (Charge Coupled Device)

This is a device that converts the light that enters the camera through the lens into digital information. Strictly speaking, a CCD is a tiny component and many hundreds of thousand of CCDs are used to make up the imaging element in a digital camera. The number of CCDs is referred to as the number of pixels. The larger the number of pixels, the greater the amount of information generated by converting light and the higher the resolution of the image.

DCF (Design rule for Camera File system)

This is a standard that stipulates items such as the file formats for digital cameras and related devices. In principle, digital cameras that conform to the DCF standard can freely exchange images, even when the images were shot with a different brand of camera. This camera complies with the DCF standard.

NEXT

Depth of field

When a subject is in focus, the depth of field refers to the area in front of and behind the subject that is also in focus. The depth of field increases when the aperture setting is high. Such shots are said to have a large depth of field. Conversely, lower aperture settings give a narrow range in which objects are in focus. This is referred to as a small depth of field. The depth of field becomes smaller when the subject is closer to the camera.

DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)

DPOF is a standard used for printing images photographed using a digital camera on a home printer or at a commercial print processing store. Provided a DPOF-compatible printer or a commercial print processing store that provides a DPOF print service is used, prints specified on this (DPOF-compatible) camera will be produced in the quantities and formats specified in the DPOF settings.

The DPOF trademark indicates that the product conforms to the specifications of the "Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) for digital camera print information". Copyright for DPOF Version 1.00 is held jointly by Canon Inc., Eastman Kodak Co., Fuji Photo Film Co., Ltd and Matsushita Electric Industrial Co., Ltd.

EV (Exposure Value)

An EV is a number that denotes exposure. EV=1 when the aperture setting is F1 and the shutter speed is 1 second. Each time the exposure then halves, the EV number increases by 1 (EV=2, EV=3...). Conversely, when the exposure is double the EV=1 level, the EV becomes -1. When the exposure is doubled again, EV=-2, and so on.

Exposure

This refers to the amount of light projected through the lens that strikes the camera's film or image sensor (CCD in this camera). The exposure is controlled by the combination of shutter speed and aperture setting. The image brightness is determined by the exposure.

Flash

This is a device that produces a bright flash of light when the camera shutter opens. Flash units are used in low-light situations such as indoor shots or pictures taken at night. Flash units tend to deplete the camera batteries if used frequently.

Focal length

This refers to the distance from the lens to a point that is in focus. At shorter focal lengths, the shot covers a wider area, while longer focal lengths make distant objects look larger.

Focus

This term refers to the focal point of a lens, but is more broadly used to refer to the condition whereby the subject of a photograph is seen most clearly. When the focusing is correct and the subject is clearly visible, the shot is said to be "in focus". When this is not the case, the shot is "out of focus".

Formatting (initialization)

This is a process that organizes the internal structure of a memory card so that data can be recorded on the card. Formatting a memory card erases all the existing data stored on that card.

Infinity

Once the subject of a photograph is further than a set distance away from the camera lens, moving still further away requires no adjustment to the focus. The distance at which the subject is so far away that no change in the focus occurs is referred to as "infinity".

ISO (International Organization for Standardization) sensitivity

This is a number that indicates the sensitivity of film to light, with higher values indicating greater sensitivity. Film with higher ISO sensitivity is more sensitive to light and can be used to take pictures in low-light conditions, but is also more susceptible to unwanted specks on the image (noise).

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

This refers to an image data compression format. The compression ratio is variable, with higher compression ratios giving smaller image file sizes but poorer image quality.

Memory card

A recording medium on which data can be erased (rewritten). SD memory cards and Multimedia cards can be used with this camera.

PictBridge

This is a printing standard that allows images to be printed directly from a digital camera or video camera via USB cable, regardless of the manufacturer or model.

Program AE

This is a type of AE in which the camera automatically selects a combination of shutter speed and aperture setting according to the brightness of the subject.

Basic Glossary of Digital Camera Terms

Red-eye reduction

When a flash is used to take a picture of a person, the light of the flash reflecting from the back (retina) of the subject's eyes has the effect of making them appear to glow red. This camera is equipped with a red-eye reduction function to prevent this effect.

Shooting mark

The "●" mark displayed on the LCD monitor when the camera is ready to take the picture.

Shutter speed

This refers to the time for which the camera's shutter (a curtain behind the lens) opens when a picture is taken.

Shutter-priority AE

The photographer selects the shutter speed and the camera then automatically sets the optimum aperture setting for the shot. By setting the shutter speed, the photographer can take images of subject that move quickly or take images in dark space without the flash.

Subject

This term refers to the person or object photographed by the camera. In portrait shots, the subject is the person. In shots of landscapes, the subject is the scenery.

TFT (Thin Film Transistor) color LCD monitor

The type of LCD monitor used in this camera. TFT panels provide good resolution and excellent responsiveness.

White balance

The light emitted by fluorescent tubes or incandescent light bulbs differs slightly in color. Without some adjustment, the colors in shots taken under such light sources differ from the actual colors you see. For this reason, a white subject is used as a reference to adjust the colors before shooting so that the resulting photo shows the actual colors of the subject.

Zoom lens

This is a lens in which the photography scale can be changed gradually. In a zoom lens, the photography scale is varied by gradually changing the focal length.

Basic Glossary of Digital Camera Terms

Zooming

This refers to the gradual changing of the photography scale. Gradual enlargement of the subject is called "zooming in", while gradual reduction of the subject is called "zooming out".
