Glossary

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

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.

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

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. 

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

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.

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.

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

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).
