Pixels<br />
A pixel is the smallest unit (dot) used to make up an image. Clear large-sized<br />
printed images require millions of pixels.<br />
Glossary<br />
RAW<br />
Refers to raw data, data which has not been enhanced with a camera option like<br />
white balance, sharpness, contrast, etc. This file format is for viewing and<br />
processing with our own software. You may not be able to open or process these<br />
files with other graphics software applications, and these files cannot be selected<br />
for DPOF printing. RAW files are assigned an orf file extension (*.orf).<br />
S (Shutter Priority) Mode<br />
Also called Shutter Priority AE mode. The user selects the shutter speed and the<br />
camera automatically varies the aperture so that the picture is taken with the best<br />
exposure.<br />
Single-lens reflex camera<br />
A camera with a shooting lens working also as the viewfinder lens. The image of<br />
the subject enters through the lens, reflects off of the mirror and into the<br />
pentaprism, where focus is adjusted, then through the viewfinder lens. Pictures<br />
are taken by framing the composition and adjusting the focus in the viewfinder<br />
lens.<br />
Sleep Mode<br />
A mode designed to save battery life. The camera automatically enters the sleep<br />
mode if you do not operate it for a certain time. To get out of the sleep mode, use<br />
any button on the camera (shutter button, menu button, etc.)<br />
Spot metering<br />
The meter reading is taken from a very small area around the center of the<br />
subject, defined by the spot metering area mark in the viewfinder. Spot metering is<br />
ideal for use in difficult light conditions, or when the important element of the<br />
picture (subject’s face) is small. Use spot metering for backlit subjects, or sports<br />
and stage performers. See also digital ESP metering and center weighted<br />
averaging metering.<br />
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format)<br />
A format used for saving highly detailed black and white or color image data. TIFF<br />
image files can be handled by software programs for scanners and graphics<br />
applications. Non-compressed image data are stored in this format with this<br />
camera.<br />
