Getting to know your camera betterEN 59CCD (Charge-Coupled Device)This converts light passing through the lens into electrical signals. On this camera, lightis picked up and converted into RGB signals to build a single image.DCF (Design Rule for Camera File System)A standard for image files by the Japan Electronics and Information TechnologyIndustries Association (JEITA).DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)This is for saving desired print settings on digital cameras. By entering which images toprint and the number of copies of each, the user can easily have the desired imagesprinted by a printer or print lab that supports the DPOF format.EV (Exposure Value)A system for measuring exposure. EV0 is when the aperture is at F1 and the shutterspeed is 1 second. The EV then increases by 1 each time the aperture increases by oneF stop or the shutter speed increases by one increment. EV can also be used to indicatebrightness and ISO.ExposureThe amount of light used to capture an image. The exposure is determined by the timethe shutter is open (shutter speed) and the amount of light that passes through the lens(aperture).Image sizeThe size of an image expressed by the number of pixels that make up the image. Forinstance, a picture taken with an image size of 640 × 480 fills the computer screen whenthe monitor setting is 640 × 480. However, if the monitor setting is 1,024 × 768, thepicture only takes up part of the screen.JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)A compression format for still images. Photographs (pictures) taken using this camera arerecorded onto the card in JPEG format. By downloading these images to a computer,users can edit them using graphics application software or view the images using anInternet web browser.Noise reductionWhen shooting in dark places, shutter speeds become slower as there is less lightfocused on the CCD. During long exposures, signals are generated by parts of the CCDwhere no light is focused and are recorded on the picture as noise. When noise reductionworks, the camera automatically reduces the noise to produce clearer images.NTSC (National Television Systems Committee)/PAL (Phase Alternating Line)Television formats. NTSC is mainly used in Japan, North America and Korea. PAL ismainly used in Europe and China.PictBridgeA standard for connecting digital cameras and printers of different makers and printing outpictures directly.PixelsA pixel is the smallest unit (dot) used to make up an image. Clear large-sized printedimages require millions of pixels.Sleep modeA mode designed to save battery life. The camera automatically enters the sleep mode ifyou do not operate it for a certain time. To exit the sleep mode, use any button on thecamera (shutter button, arrow pad, etc.).TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) Color MonitorA transistor color monitor constructed using thin-film technology.Glossary of terms
