necessary for taking a good photo. Even if you hold a camera correctly, the wrong posture can cause the camera to shake. Stand up straight and remain still to maintain a steady base for your camera. When shooting with a slow shutter speed, hold your breath to minimize body movement. Holding the camera Hold the camera with your right hand and place you right index finger on the shutter button. Place your left hand under the lens for support. 13 Concepts in Photography Standing photography Crouching photography Compose your shot; stand up straight with your feet shoulder-length apart, and keep your elbows pointed down. Compose your shot, crouch with one knee touching the ground, and keep a straight posture. 14 Concepts in Photography Using the display To take photos at high or low angles, tilt the display up or down. 1 Slide the display downwards carefully. To capture a self-portrait, set Self Shot to ON, flip the display 180 upwards and touch the subject on the display. 2 Tilt the display from 180 upwards to 45 downwards. Keep the display closed when the camera is not in use. Tilt the display only within the angle allowed. Failing to do so may damage your camera. Be careful not to damage the display when tilting it. When the camera is not held by hands and the display is flipped upwards, use a tripod. Otherwise, it may cause damage to your camera. 15 Concepts in Photography Low-angle shot High-angle shot A low-angle shot is a shot from a camera positioned below your eyeline, looking up the subject. A high-angle shot is a shot from a camera positioned above your eyeline, looking down on the subject. 16 Concepts in Photography Aperture The aperture is one of the three factors that determine the exposure. The aperture housing contains thin, metal plates that open and close to let light through the aperture and into the camera. The size of the aperture is related to the amount of light: a larger aperture allows more light and a smaller aperture allows less light. Aperture sizes Minimum aperture Medium aperture Maximum aperture The size of the aperture is represented by a value known as an F-number. The f-number represents the focal length divided by the diameter of the lens. For example, if a lens with a 50 mm focal length has an f-number of F2, the diameter of the aperture is 25 mm. (50 mm/25 mm=F2) The smaller the f-number, the greater the size of the aperture. The opening in the aperture is described as the Exposure Value (EV). Increasing the Exposure Value (+1 EV) means the amount of light doubles. Decreasing the Exposure Value (-1 EV) means the amount of light halves. You can also use the exposure compensation feature to fine-tune the amount of light by subdividing exposure values into 1/2, 1/3 EV, and so on.
+1 EV
-1 EV F1.4 F2 F2.8 F4 F5.6 F8 Exposure Value Steps Aperture opened slightly Aperture opened wide 17 Concepts in Photography Aperture value and the depth of field You can blur or sharpen the background of a photo by controlling the aperture. It is closely related to the depth of field (DOF), which can be expressed as small or large. The aperture housing contains several blades. These blades move together and control the amount of light passing through the center of the aperture. The number of blades also affects the shape of light when shooting night scenes. If an aperture has an even number of blades, light divides into an equal number of sections. If the number of blades is odd, the number of sections is double the number of blades. For example, an aperture with 8 blades divides light into 8 sections and an aperture with 7 blades into 14 sections. A photo with a large DOF A photo with a small DOF 7 blades 8 blades 18 Concepts in Photography Shutter speed Shutter speed refers to the amount of time it takes to open and close the shutter. It controls the amount of light which passes through the aperture before it reaches the image sensor. Usually, the shutter speed is manually adjustable. The measurement of the shutter speed is known as the Exposure Value (EV), which is marked in intervals of 1 s, 1/2 s, 1/4 s, 1/8 s, 1/15 s, 1/1000 s, 1/2000 s, and so on. Therefore, the faster the shutter speed, the less light will be let in. Likewise, the slower the shutter speed, the more light will be let in. The photos below illustrate that a slow shutter speed allows more time for light to enter the camera. This adds a motion blurring effect to moving objects. On the other hand, a fast shutter speed allows less time to let light in and the photo more easily freezes subjects in motion. Exposure
+1 EV
-1 EV 1s 1/2 s 1/4 s 1/8 s 1/15 s 1/30 s Shutter Speed 0.8 s 0.004 s 19 Concepts in Photography ISO sensitivity The exposure of an image is determined by the sensitivity of the camera. This sensitivity is based on international film standards, known as ISO standards. On digital cameras, this sensitivity rating is used to represent the sensitivity of the digital mechanism that captures the image. ISO sensitivity doubles as the number doubles. For example, an ISO 200 setting is capable of capturing images at twice the speed of an ISO 100 setting. However, higher ISO settings can result in noisesmall specks, spots, and other phenomena in a photo that give the shot a noisy or dirty appearance. As a general rule, it is best to use a low ISO setting to prevent noise in your photos, unless you are shooting in darkened environments or at night. Because a low ISO sensitivity means the camera will be less sensitive to light, you need more light to have an optimal exposure. When using a low ISO sensitivity, open the aperture more or reduce the shutter speed to allow more light to enter the camera. For example, on a sunny day when light is abundant, a low ISO sensitivity does not require a slow shutter speed. However, in a dark place or at night, a low ISO sensitivity will result in a blurry photo. Therefore, it is recommended to increase the ISO sensitivity by a moderate amount. A photo captured with a tripod and high A blurred photo with a low ISO sensitivity ISO sensitivity Changes in the quality and brightness according to ISO sensitivity 20 Concepts in Photography How the aperture setting, shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity control exposure The aperture setting, shutter speed, and ISO sensitivity are closely interconnected in photography. The aperture setting controls the opening that regulates the light that enters the camera, while the shutter speed determines the length of time that light is allowed to enter. ISO sensitivity determines the speed at which the film reacts to light. Together, these three aspects are described as the triangle of exposure. A change in shutter speed, aperture value, or ISO sensitivity can be offset by adjustments to the others to maintain the amount of light. The results, however, change according to the settings. For example, shutter speed is useful in expressing movement, aperture can control the depth of field, and ISO sensitivity can control the graininess of a photo. Settings Results Aperture value Wide aperture
= more light Narrow aperture
= less light Wide = small depth of field Narrow = large depth of field Settings Results Shutter speed Fast speed
= less light Slow speed
= more light Fast = still Slow = blurry ISO sensitivity High sensitivity
= more sensitive to light Low sensitivity
= less sensitive to light High = more grainy Low = less grainy 21 Concepts in Photography Correlation between focal length, angle, and perspective Focal length, which is measured in millimeters, is the distance between the middle of the lens to its focal point. It affects the angle and perspective of captured images. A short focal length translates into a wide angle, which allows you to capture a wide shot. A long focal length translates into a narrow angle, which allows you to capture telephoto shots. Long focal length Short focal length narrow angle telephoto lens telephoto shot wide-angle lens Look at these photos below and compare the changes. wide shot wide angle 18 mm angle 55 mm angle 200 mm angle Normally, a lens with a wide angle is suitable for shooting landscapes and a lens with a narrow angle is recommended for shooting sports events or portraits. 22 Concepts in Photography Depth of field Portraits or still-life photos mostly acclaimed by people are the ones on which the background is out of focus so the subject looks pronounced. Depending on the focused areas, a photo can be blurred or sharpened. This is called a low DOF or a high DOF. The depth of field is the focused area around the subject. Therefore, a small DOF signifies that the focused area is narrow and a large DOF means the focused area is wide. A photo with a small DOF, which stresses the subject and makes the rest of it blurred, can be obtained by using a telescope lens or selecting a low aperture value. Conversely, a photo with a large DOF which shows all the elements on the photo sharply focused can be achieved by using a wide angle lens or selecting a high aperture value. What controls out-of-focus effects?
DOF depends on aperture value The wider the aperture is (namely the lower the aperture value), the lower the DOF becomes. Under the condition where the focal length is equal, a low aperture value leads to a photo with a low DOF. 55 mm F5.7 55 mm F22 Small Depth of Field Large Depth of Field 23 Concepts in Photography DOF depends on focal length The longer the focal length is, the lower the DOF gets. A telescope lens with a longer focal length than a wide-angle lens with a short focal length is better to capture a photo of a low DOF. DOF depends on the distance between the subject and the camera The shorter the distance between the subject and the camera is, the lower the DOF gets. Therefore, taking a photo close to a subject can result in a photo of low DOF. A photo captured with an 18 mm wide-angle lens A photo captured with a 100 mm telescope lens A photo captured with a 100 mm telescope lens A photo captured close to the subject 24 Concepts in Photography Optical preview You can press the Custom button to view the optical preview before capturing a photo. The camera adjusts the aperture to the predefined settings and shows the results on the screen. Set the Custom button to Optical preview. (p. 143) Composition It is fun to capture a photo of the beauty of world with a camera. No matter how the world is beautiful, however, a poor composition cannot capture the beauty of it. When it comes to composition, it is very important to prioritize subjects. Composition in photography means arranging objects in a photo. Usually, abiding by the rule of thirds leads to a good composition. Rule of Thirds To use the rule of thirds, divide the image into a 3x3 pattern of equal rectangles. To compose photos that best emphasize the subject, make sure the subject is located at one of the corners of the center rectangle. 25 Concepts in Photography Using the rule of thirds will create photos with stable and compelling compositions. Below are a few examples. Photos with two subjects If your subject is in one corner of the photo, it creates an unbalanced composition. You can stabilize the photo by capturing a second subject in the opposite corner to balance the weight of the photo. Subject 2 Subject 2 Subject 1 Subject 1 Unstable Stable When taking landscape photos, centering the horizon will create an unbalanced effect. Give more weight to the photo by moving the horizon up or down. Subject 1 Subject 2 Unstable Subject 1 Subject 2 Stable 26 Concepts in Photography Flash Light is one of the most important components in photography. It is not easy, however, to have an enough amount of light anytime and anywhere. Making use of a flash allows you to optimize light settings and create a variety of effects. Flash, also known as strobe or speed light, helps to create adequate exposure in low-light conditions. It is also useful in light-abundant situations. For example, flash can be used in compensating the exposure of a subjects shadow or capturing clearly both the subject and the background in backlit conditions. Before correction After correction Flash guide number The model number of a flash refers to the flashs power, and the maximum amount of light created is represented by a value known as a guide number. The bigger the guide number, the more light is emitted from the flash. The guide number is achieved by multiplying the distance from the flash to the subject and the aperture value when the ISO sensitivity is set to 100. Guide number = Flash to Subject Distance X Aperture value Aperture value = Guide number / Flash to Subject Distance Flash to Subject Distance = Guide number / Aperture value Therefore, if you know the guide number of a flash, you can estimate an optimum flash to subject distance when setting the flash manually. For example, if a flash has a guide number of GN 20 and is 4 meters away from the subject, the optimal aperture value is F5.0. 27 Concepts in Photography Bounce Photography Bounce photography refers to the method of bouncing light off of the ceiling or walls so that the light spreads evenly over the subject. Normally, photos captured with flash may appear unnatural and cast shadows. Subjects in photos captured with bounce photography cast no shadows and look smooth due to evenly spread light. 28 Chapter 1 My Camera Learn about your cameras layout, display icons, lens, optional accessories, and basic functions.

If you release [Shutter] while shooting, the panoramic shooting stops and photos that have been captured are saved. The resolution varies depending on the panoramic photo you captured. In Panorama mode, some shooting options are not available. The camera may stop shooting due to the shooting composition or the subject's movement. In Panorama mode, your camera may not capture the entire last scene if you stop moving the camera to improve the photo quality. To capture the entire scene, move your camera slightly beyond the point where you want the scene to end. In 3D Panorama mode, your camera may not capture the very beginning or end of a scene due to the nature of the 3D effect. To capture the entire scene, move slightly beyond the beginning and end points you want to capture. Photos captured with the 3D function are saved in JPEG (2D) and MPO (3D) formats. On your camera's display, you can view only JPEG files. To view 3D files, connect your camera to a 3D TV or 3D monitor with an optional HDMI cable. While viewing, wear proper 3D glasses. Capturing photos in 3D Panorama mode may result in a less pronounced 3D effect than those captured with a 3D lens. To increase the 3D effect, attach the optional 3D lens and use 3D mode.

(Video recording) again to stop. H.264 (MPEG-4 part10/AVC) is the latest video coding format established in 2003 collaboratively by ISO-IEC and ITU-T. Since this format uses a high compression rate, more data can be saved in less memory space. If you have the image stabilizer option on when shooting a movie, the camera may record the image stabilizer sound. The zoom sound or other lens sounds may be recorded if you adjust the lens while recording a video. When using an optional video lens, the autofocus noise is not recorded. If you remove the camera lens while recording a movie, the recording will be interrupted. Do not change the lens while recording. If you attach an external microphone while recording a movie, sound will not be recorded through the external microphone. (The previous settings are maintained.) If you remove the external microphone while recording a movie, sound will not be recorded. Turn off the camera before attaching or removing the external microphone. If you change the shooting angle of the camera suddenly while shooting a movie, the camera may not be able to record images accurately. Use a tripod to minimize camera shake. The camera supports only the Multi AF function when recording a video. You cannot use any other focus area setting functions, such as Face Detection AF. When the size of a movie file exceeds 4 GB, the camera automatically stops recording even if the maximum recording time (29 minutes and 59 seconds) has not been reached. If you use a slow writing memory card, the recording of your movie can be interrupted because the card cannot process data at the rate the video is being shot. If this occurs, replace the card with a faster memory card or reduce the video size (for example, from 1280X720 to 640X480). When formatting a memory card, always format using the camera. If you format on another camera or a PC, you can lose files on the card or cause a change in the capacity of the card. When you press the video recording button, Z turns off. While recording a video in the same ISO sensitivity, the screen may be darker than taking a photo. Adjust the ISO sensitivity. When you record a video in P, A, or S mode, ISO is automatically set to Auto. 64 My Camera > Shooting modes 3D mode You can capture 3D photos or videos with an optional 3D lens. SAMSUNG 45 mm F1.8 [T6] 2D/3D lens (example) Set the 2D/3D switch on the lens to 3D, and then capture a photo or video 1.5-5 m away from the subject. 3D mode is always on, regardless of the mode dial of the camera, except B.

The video resolution is set to 1920X1080. Videos recorded in 3D may be dark or playback may be jittery. Shooting in low temperatures may result in color distortion in images and may consume more battery power. You may not be able to shoot properly in conditions below 8.5 LV/900 lux. For best results, capture photos in places with sufficient light. When you photograph objects that contain polarizing material, such as a display, sunglasses, or a polarizing filter, or use the polarizing material with your lens, the images may appear dark or the 3D effect may not be applied properly. Use a tripod to prevent your camera from shaking. If you rotate or tilt the camera vertically while shooting, the 3D effect may not be applied properly. Capture images with the camera in the normal position. If you shoot in fluorescent lighting or capture images displayed by projectors or TVs, the images may appear black due to the flicker effect. In 3D mode, the Enlarge x8 option of MF Assist may not be available. The camera's display shows 3D videos only in 2D. Photos captured with the 3D function are saved in JPEG (2D) and MPO (3D) formats. On your camera's display, you can view only JPEG files. To view 3D files, connect your camera to a 3D TV or 3D monitor with an optional HDMI cable. While viewing, wear proper 3D glasses.

scroll the jog dial or press [C/F] to adjust the flash intensity. Flash : 0.0 Without red-eye reduction With red-eye reduction Back Set If the subject is too far from the camera or moves when the first flash fires, red-
eyes may not be reduced. You can also drag the slider or touch +/- to adjust the intensity. Adjusting the ash intensity may not be effective when:
- the subject is too close to the camera
- you set a high ISO sensitivity
- the exposure value is too big or too small In some shooting modes, you cannot use this function. If you attach an intensity-adjustable external flash to the camera, the intensity settings of the flash will be applied. If the subject is too close when you use the flash, some light may be blocked, resulting in a dark photo. Ensure that the subject is within the recommended range, which varies by lens. When a lens hood is attached, the light from the flash can be blocked by the hood. Remove the hood to use the flash. 89 Shooting Functions Shooting Functions Shooting Functions Metering The metering mode refers to the way in which a camera measures the quantity of light. The camera measures the amount of light in a scene, and in many of its modes, uses the measurement to adjust various settings. For example, if a subject looks darker than its actual color, the camera captures an overexposed photo of it. If a subject looks lighter than its actual color, the camera captures an underexposed photo of it. The brightness and overall mood of the photo can also be affected by how the camera measures the amount of light. Select an appropriate setting for a shooting condition. To set a metering option, In Shooting mode, press [m] 1 Metering an option. Multi The Multi mode calculates the amount of light in multiple areas. When light is sufficient or insufficient, the camera adjusts the exposure by averaging the overall brightness of the scene. This mode is suitable for general photos. 9090
1 2 | User manual 2 of 2 | Users Manual | 1.60 MiB |
Shooting Functions > Metering Spot The Spot mode calculates the amount of light in the center. When you capture a photo in conditions where there is a strong backlight behind a subject, the camera adjusts the exposure so as to shoot a subject correctly. For example, when you select the Multi mode in a strong backlight condition, the camera calculates that the overall amount of light is abundant, which results in a darker photo. The Spot mode can prevent this situation as it calculates the amount of light in a designated area. Center-weighted The Center-weighted mode calculates a broader area than the Spot mode does. It sums up the amount of light in the center portion of the shot
(6080 %) and that of the rest of the shot (2040 %). It is recommended for situations where there is a slight difference in brightness between a subject and a background or an area of the subject is large compared to the overall composition of the photo. The subject is in bright color while the background is dark. The Spot mode is recommended for a situation like this where a huge difference in the exposure exists between a subject and a background. 91 Shooting Functions > Metering Measuring the exposure value of the focus area When this function is turned on, the camera automatically sets an optimal exposure by calculating the brightness of the focus area. This function is only available when you select Spot metering or Multi metering, and Selection AF. To set this function, In Shooting mode, press [m] 1 Link AE to AF Point an option. 92 Shooting Functions Shooting Functions Shooting Functions Dynamic Range This function automatically corrects the loss of bright detail that can occur due to shading differences in the photo.

These features help you lock the exposure or focus on which you want to focus or calculate the exposure. Ad-Hoc network AF (Auto Focus) An ad-hoc network is a temporary connection for sharing files or an internet connection and between computers and devices. A system that automatically focuses the camera lens on the subject. Your camera uses the contrast to focus automatically. AdobeRGB Adobe RGB is used for commercial printing and has a larger color range than sRGB. Its wider range of colors helps you to easily edit photos on a computer. AEB (Auto Exposure Bracket) AMOLED (Active-matrix organic light-emitting diode) /
LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) AMOLED is a visual display that is very thin and light, as it does not need backlighting. LCD is a visual display commonly used in consumer electronics. This display needs a separate backlight, such as CCFL or LED, to reproduce colors. This feature automatically captures several images at different exposures to help you capture a properly-exposed image. Aperture The aperture controls the amount of light that reaches the cameras sensor. 182 Appendix > Glossary Camera shake (Blur) If the camera is moved while the shutter is open, the entire image may appear blurred. This occurs more often when the shutter speed is slow. Prevent camera shake by raising the sensitivity, using the flash, or using a faster shutter speed. Alternatively, use a tripod or the OIS function to stabilize the camera. Cloud Computing Cloud computing is a technology that allows you to store data on remote servers and to use them from a device with internet access. Color space The range of colors that the camera can see. Color temperature Composition Composition in photography means arranging objects in a photo. Usually, abiding by the rule of thirds leads to a good composition. DCF (Design rule for Camera File system) A specification to define a file format and file system for digital cameras created by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA). Depth of field The distance between the nearest and farthest points that can be acceptably focused in a photograph. Depth of field varies with lens aperture, focal length, and distance from the camera to the subject. For example, using a smaller f-number will create a large depth of field and blur the background in the composition. Color Temperature is a measurement in degrees Kelvin (K) that indicates the hue of a specific type of light source. As the color temperature increases, the color of the light source has a more bluish quality. As the color temperature decreases, the color of the light source has a more reddish quality. At 5,500 degrees Kelvin, the color of the light source is similar to the sun at midday. DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) A format for writing printing information, such as selected images and number of prints, on a memory card. DPOF-compatible printers, sometimes available at photo shops, can read the information from the card for convenient printing. 183 Appendix > Glossary EV (Exposure Value) Flash All the combinations of the cameras shutter speed and lens aperture that result in the same exposure. A speed light that helps to create adequate exposure in low-light conditions. EV Compensation Focal length This feature allows you to quickly adjust the exposure value measured by the camera, in limited increments, to improve the exposure of your photos. 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. Exif (Exchangeable Image File Format) A specification to define an image file format for digital cameras created by the Japan Electronic Industries Development Association (JEIDA). Exposure Histogram 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. The amount of light allowed to reach the cameras sensor. Exposure is controlled by a combination of the shutter speed, the aperture value, and ISO sensitivity. H.264/MPEG-4 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). 184 Appendix > Glossary Image sensor 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). IP (Internet protocol) address An IP address is a unique number that is assigned to every device that is connected to the internet. ISO sensitivity The sensitivity of the camera to light, based on the equivalent film speed used in a film camera. At higher ISO sensitivity settings, the camera uses a higher shutter speed, which can reduce blur caused by camera shake and low light. However, images with high sensitivity are more susceptible to noise. JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) A lossy method of compression for digital images. JPEG images are compressed to reduce their overall file size with minimal deterioration of the image resolution. Metering The metering refers to the way in which the camera measures the quantity of light to set the exposure. MF (Manual Focus) A system that manually focuses the camera lens on the subject. You can use the focus ring to focus on a subject. MJPEG (Motion JPEG) A video format which is compressed as a JPEG image. MPO (Multi Picture Object) An image file format that contains multiple images in a file. An MPO file provides a 3D effect on MPO-compatible displays, such as 3D TVs or 3D monitors. 185 Appendix > Glossary Noise Misinterpreted pixels in a digital image that may appear as misplaced or random, bright pixels. Noise usually occurs when photos are shot with a high sensitivity or when a sensitivity is automatically set in a dark place. NFC (Near Field Communication) NFC is a set of standards for radio communication at very close proximity. You can use NFC-enabled devices to activate features or exchange data with other devices. NTSC (National Television System Committee) A video color encoding standard used most commonly in Japan, North America, the Philippines, South America, South Korea, and Taiwan. Optical zoom This is a general zoom which can enlarge images with a lens and does not deteriorate quality of images. PAL (Phase Alternate Line) A video color encoding standard used in numerous countries throughout Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East. Quality An expression of the rate of compression used in a digital image. Higher quality images have a lower rate of compression, which usually results in a larger file size. RAW (CCD raw data) The original, unprocessed data, collected directly from the cameras image sensor. White Balance, contrast, saturation, sharpness, and other data can be manipulated with editing software before the image is compressed into a standard file format. Resolution The number of pixels present in a digital image. High resolution images contain more pixels and typically show more detail than low resolution images. 186 Appendix > Glossary Shutter speed Shutter speed refers to the amount of time it takes to open and close the shutter, and it is an important factor in the brightness of a photo, as it controls the amount of light which passes through the aperture before it reaches the image sensor. A fast shutter speed allows less time to let light in and the photo becomes darker and more easily freezes subjects in motion. sRGB (Standard RGB) International standard of color space established by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission). This is defined from color space for PC monitors and is also used as the standard color space for Exif. Vignetting A reduction of an images brightness or saturation at the periphery (outer edges) compared to the center of the image. Vignetting can draw interest to subjects positioned in the center of an image. White Balance (Color balance) An adjustment of the intensities of colors (typically the primary colors red, green, and blue) in an image. The goal of adjusting the White Balance, or color balance, is to correctly render the colors in an image. Wi-Fi Wi-Fi is a technology that allows electronic devices to exchange data wirelessly over a network. WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup) WPS is a technology that secures wireless home networks. 187 Appendix Index A Adobe Photoshop Lightroom 160 Aperture 17, 21 Auto Backup 126 Auto focus 75 B Battery Caution 170 Charging 35 Insert 34 Best Face mode 60 Bracketing 86 C Camera Connecting as removable disk 153 Connecting to PC 153 Disconnecting (Windows) 154 Layout 31 Camera specifications 177 Charging 35 Color space 141 D Date & Time 146 Depth of Field (DOF) 18, 23 Digital Print Order Format
