Pixels A pixel is the smallest unit (dot) used to make up an image. Clear large-sized printed images require millions of pixels. RAW Refers to raw data, data which has not been enhanced with a camera option like white balance, sharpness, contrast, etc. This file format is for viewing and processing with our own software. You may not be able to open or process these files with other graphics software applications, and these files cannot be selected for DPOF printing. RAW files are assigned an orf file extension (*.orf). 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. Single-lens reflex camera A camera that uses the reflective mirror to bend the light entering from the shooting lens and uses the viewfinder to check. There is no difference between the composition to be captured and the composition viewed on the viewfinder. 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 get out of the sleep mode, use any button on the camera (shutter button, menu button, etc.). Spot metering The meter reading is taken from a very small area around the center of the subject, defined by the spot metering area mark in the viewfinder. Spot metering is ideal for use in difficult light conditions, or when the important element of the picture (subject's face) is small. Use spot metering for backlit subjects, or sports and stage performers. See also digital ESP metering and center weighted averaging metering. TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) Color Monitor A color monitor constructed using thin-film technology. TTL phase-contrast detection system This is used to measure the distance to the subject. The camera determines if the image is focused by the detected phase contrast. TTL (Through-The-Lens) System To help adjust exposure, a light receptor built into the camera directly measures the light passing through the lens. 9 124 EN Information
