Camera Terms Flashcards
ATW
auto tracking white balance - This mode automatically corrects the white balance, even if the light source or color temperature changes.
AWB
auto white balance - When AWB A or AWB B is selected and the white balance is executed, the adjustment results obtained are stored in the memory selected. When AWB A or AWB B is then selected, the white balance stored in the selected memory can be recalled.
DRS
dynamic range stretch - You can increase the dynamic range by compressing the image signal for the extremely bright areas that are overexposed during normal shooting while maintaining contrast.
The knee function, black gamma function, and gamma mode function do not work when the dynamic range stretcher function is activated.
A slight difference in coloring might occur by switching the dynamic range stretcher function on/off.
DNR
digital noise reduction - Set here is the level of the digital noise reduction effect so that light, noise-free and clear images will be output even at night and in other low-brightness environments. When “Low” or “High” is selected, noise can be eliminated. However, there is an increased possibility that afterimages may occur.
Setting value: Off, Low, High
Factory settings: Low
white balance - 3200K
This white balance mode is ideal when a 3200K halogen light is used as the light source.
white balance - 5600K
This white balance mode is ideal when 5600K sunlight or fluorescent lighting is used as the light source.
IRE
IRE represents the scale invented by the International Radio Engineers society. Essentially, it is designed to match the capabilities of early televisions to display an image. Anything at 0 is completely black, with no detail, and anything above 100 will be clipped and white, with no detail.
