Glossary of terms 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. P (Program) Mode Also called Program AE mode. The camera automatically sets the best shutter speed and aperture for the shot. Phase-difference Detection System This system measures the distance to the subject. The distance is calculated by the difference in the image of the subject captured by a pair of sensors. PictBridge A standard for connecting digital cameras and printers of different makers and printing out pictures directly. Pixels A pixel is the smallest unit (dot) used to make up an image. Clear large-sized printed images require millions of pixels. S (Shutter Priority) Mode Also called Shutter Priority AE mode. The user selects the shutter speed and the camera automatically varies the aperture so that the picture is taken with the best exposure. Sleep Mode A mode designed to save battery life. The camera automatically enters the sleep mode if you do not operate it for a certain time. To exit the sleep mode, use any button on the camera (shutter button, arrow pad, etc.). Slave Flash A wireless flash that is not connected to the camera by a synchronization cord. It flashes in phase with the flash on the camera and can be used for lighting techniques, such as changing the way shadows are cast on a subject. Synchro Terminals Terminals on an external flash unit for connecting it to the camera. TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) Color Monitor A transistor color monitor constructed using thin-film technology. TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) A format used for saving highly detailed black and white or color image data. TIFF image files can be handled by software programs for scanners and graphics applications. This camera uses TIFF in an uncompressed format. 10 Appendix TTL (Through-The-Lens) System To help adjust exposure, a light receptor built into the camera directly measures the light passing through the lens. TTL-AUTO For use with an external flash. Light emitted by the flash is measured by the light receptor in the camera as it passes through the lens. A signal is then sent to adjust the external flash intensity. 195
