写真の記録性:
The context is the field of photography.
Basically it says that taking photos using exposure that generates a photo with the same brightness as the brightness when the photographer actually saw the subject is important for 写真の記録性.
I looked up 記録性, and all I found was vague terms like 'recordability' or "recording performance", neither of which make any sense. I could not find any explanation of what this actually means, even on Japanese sites. What does 記録性 actually mean?
I am looking for a term and an explanation, or even just an explanation--not just a term like 'recordability' without any explanation, because that is what I have now.
Thank you in advance, and I appreciate your help.
