ISO speed This indicates the film's sensitivity to light. It is expressed as a number following "ISO" such as "ISO 200." The higher the number, the higher the sensitivity to light. Digital cameras also use the same ISO speed standard used by film-based cameras. JPEG Abbreviation for Joint Photographic Experts Group. It is an image file format with various compression levels. The higher the compression rate, the lower the image quality, when the file is expanded (restored). RAW This is an image file format that saves the image as is when captured by the camera's CCD sensor. It is geared for image processing with a personal computer. It uses lossless compression. By using the driver software's image-processing parameters, you can obtain the desired image characteristics. sRGB Color matching standard jointly developed by Microsoft and Hewlett-Packard.
