Glossary Exposure The amount of light used to capture an image. The exposure is determined by the length of time the shutter is open (shutter speed) and the amount of light that passes through the lens (aperture). Flash Bracket A mount used to attach an external flash to the camera. Shadows on the subject can be changed by detaching the flash. The flash is used in combination with the flash cable. ISO A method for indicating film speed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) (e.g. "ISO100"). Higher ISO values indicate greater sensitivity to light, so images can be exposed even in low-light conditions. JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) A compression format for color still images. Photographs (images) shot using this camera are recorded onto the card in JPEG format when the Record mode is set to SHQ, HQ, SQ. By downloading these images to a personal computer, users can edit them using graphics application software or view the images using an Internet web browser. M (Manual) Mode The user sets both the aperture and shutter speed. NTSC (National Television Systems Committee) / PAL (Phase Alternating Line) Television formats. NTSC is mainly used in Japan, North America and Korea. PAL is mainly used in Europe and China. 11 Number of Pixels (PIXEL COUNT) The number of dots (pixels) used to create an image denotes the image size. For instance, an image in 640 x 480 resolution is the same size as the computer screen if the monitor setting is also 640 x 480. If the monitor setting is 1024 x 768, the image only takes up part of the screen. P (Program) Mode Also called Program AE mode. The camera automatically sets the best shutter speed and aperture for the shot. PictBridge A standard that enables digital cameras and printers made by different manufacturers to be connected, and also allows pictures to be printed directly from the camera. 188 Appendix
