Glossary Focus point Position in the viewfinder that determines focus. Histogram A graph that shows the darkest and brightest points in an image. The horizontal axis represents the brightness and the vertical axis represents the number of pixels. This is useful when you wish to refer to the exposure status of an image. JPEG An image compression method. The image is recorded in JPEG format when the quality level is set to (Best), (Better), or (Good). Images recorded in JPEG format are suited for viewing on your PC or for attaching to e-mail. ND (Neutral Density) Filter A filter which reduces the amount of light entering the camera lens by a measured amount, without affecting the picture itself. Noise Reduction Process to reduce noise (image roughness or unevenness) caused by slow shutter speed. NTSC/ PAL These are video output formats. NTSC is mainly used in Japan, North America, and South Korea. PAL is mainly used in Europe and in China. Quality Level This refers to the image compression ratio. The lower the compression, the more detailed the image. The image becomes rougher as the compression rate rises. RAW data Unedited image data output from the CCD. RAW data is data before being internally processed by the camera. Settings like White balance, contrast, saturation and sharpness can be manipulated individually on each file. In addition, RAW data is 12-bit data that contains 16 times the information of 8-bit JPEG and TIFF data. Rich gradations are possible. Transfer RAW data to your computer and use the provided software to create image data with different settings, such as JPEG or TIFF. ŝ252Ş
