On the FinePix S5000, 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 set-
tings are locked.
such as the monitor off (Sleep mode) to prevent battery depletion and the waste of
power when the AC power adapter is connected. If the camera is then left unused
for a further period, the Auto Power Save function switches the camera off. This
period can be set to 2 minutes or 5 minutes on this camera.
! The Auto Power Off function does not operate in PC mode, during automatic
playback, or if it is disabled during setup.
Leaving an Ni-MH battery unused in storage for a long period may cause a rise in
the level of substances that inhibit current flow inside the battery and result in a
dormant battery. A battery in this state is referred to as deactivated.
Because current flow is inhibited in a deactivated Ni-MH battery, the battery's origi-
nal level of performance cannot be achieved.
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 to be printed and how many prints are made of each image.
A number that denotes Exposure Value. 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. Like-
wise, when the light is halved, the EV decreases by 1.
The frame rate refers to the number of images (frames) that are photographed or
played back per second. For example, when 10 frames are continuously photo-
graphed in a 1-second interval, the frame rate is expressed as 10 fps.
For reference, TV images are displayed at 30 fps.
Joint Photographics Experts Group
A file format used for compressing and saving color images. The higher the compres-
sion rate, the greater the loss of quality in the decompressed (restored) image.
If an Ni-MH battery is repeatedly charged without first being fully discharged, its perfor-
mance may drop below its original level. This is referred to as the "memory effect".
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.
A generic term for cards that meet the PC Card Standard.
A standard for PC cards determined by the PCMCIA.
Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (US).
A phenomenon specific to CCDs whereby white streaks appear on the image when
there is a very strong light source, such as the sun or reflected sunlight, in the
photography screen.
A standard format used on Windows systems for saving audio data. WAVE files
have the ".WAV" file extension and the data can be saved in either compressed or
uncompressed format. Uncompressed recording is used on this camera.
WAVE files can be played back on a personal computer using the following software:
Windows: MediaPlayer
Macintosh: QuickTime Player
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.
Exif Print Format is a newly revised digital camera file format that contains a variety
of shooting information for optimal printing.
