ISO A method for indicating film speed laid down by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) (e.g. "ISO100"). Higher ISO values indicate greater sensitivity to light so that images can be exposed even in lowlight conditions. JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group) A compression format for color still images. Photographs (images) shot using this camera are recorded onto the SmartMedia card in JPEG format when the Record mode is set to SHQ, HQ or 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. NTSC (National Television Standards Committee) Originally the name of a US committee responsible for setting a standard for television broadcast transmission, now known more as the video signal standard it developed. The NTSC standard is used mainly in North America and Japan. PAL (Phase Alternate Line) Video signal standard used in most western European countries. Not compatible with the NTSC standard. Pixels A pixels the smallest unit (dot) used to make up an image. Large size clear printed images require large number of pixels. TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) Color Monitor A color Monitor constructed using thinfilm technology. TIFF (Tagged Image File Format) A format used for saving black and white and color image data. TIFF image files can be handled by software programs for scanners and graphics applications. TTL (Through-The-Lens) System An exposure adjustment mechanism in which a light receptor built into the camera directly measures the light passing through the lens. Appendix 149

ISO
A method for indicating film speed laid
down by the International Organization
for Standardization (ISO) (e.g.
“ISO100”). Higher ISO values indicate
greater sensitivity to light so that
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 SmartMedia card in JPEG format
when the Record mode is set to SHQ,
HQ or 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.
NTSC (National Television Standards
Committee)
Originally the name of a US committee
responsible for setting a standard for
television broadcast transmission, now
known more as the video signal
standard it developed. The NTSC
standard is used mainly in North
America and Japan.
PAL (Phase Alternate Line)
Video signal standard used in most
western European countries. Not
compatible with the NTSC standard.
Pixels
A pixels the smallest unit (dot) used to
make up an image. Large size clear
printed images require large number of
pixels.
TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) Color
Monitor
A color Monitor constructed using thin-
film technology.
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format)
A format used for saving black and white
and color image data. TIFF image files
can be handled by software programs for
scanners and graphics applications.
TTL (Through-The-Lens) System
An exposure adjustment mechanism in
which a light receptor built into the
camera directly measures the light
passing through the lens.
