zRed-Eye Effect
The phenomenon where people’s eyes sometimes appear red in the picture when you use a flash to
photograph them in low-light conditions. This is caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the inside of
the eye.
zWhite Balance
When the brightness of the light changes, the human eye adapts so that a white object still looks white. On
the other hand, devices such as digital still cameras see a white subject as white by first adjusting the
balance to suit the color of the ambient light around the subject. This adjustment process is referred to as
matching the white balance.
zSD Memory Card
The Secure Digital (SD) Memory Card is a flash memory storage device designed by the consortium of
Matsushita Electronic (Panasonic), SanDisk and Toshiba to meet the security, capacity, performance and
environmental requirements inherent in emerging audio and video consumer electronics devices. This
recording medium can be used over and over again.
zFormatting
Transforming the contents of the SD Memory Card to a recordable state. (This is sometimes called
“initialization”.)
zExposure Compensation
When the screen contains an extremely bright or dark object, the camera automatically adjusts the
brightness, resulting in the subject being reproduced darker or lighter. Exposure compensation adjusts for
this.
zPRINT Image Matching
The PRINT Image Matching system prints the image of a digital still camera (with PRINT Image Matching
function) in high quality using a PRINT Image Matching compatible printer.
When taking a photograph, the image data is added with PRINT Image Matching print command which
enable the printer to print in an optimum color.
