Glossary of terms Image size The size of an image expressed by the number of pixels that make up the image. For instance, a picture taken with an image size of 640 × 480 fills the computer screen when the monitor setting is 640 × 480. However, if the monitor setting is 1,024 × 768, the picture only takes up part of the screen. ISO A method for indicating film speed by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) (ex. "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 still images. Photographs (images) shot using this camera are recorded in JPEG format. By downloading these images to a 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. 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. P (Program) Mode Also called Program AE mode. The camera automatically sets the best shutter speed and aperture for the shot. 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.). 9 TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) Color Monitor A transistor color monitor constructed using thin-film technology. TTL (Through-The-Lens) System To help adjust exposure, a light receptor built into the camera directly measures the light passing through the lens. Appendix 137
