194 Histogram A graph that shows the darkest and brightest points in an image. The horizontal axis represents the brightness and the vertical axis represents the number of pixels. This is useful when you wish to refer to the exposure status of an image. Hot Spot Hot spots in the image lose contrast and appear white. JPEG An image compression method. The image is recorded in JPEG format when the quality level is set to C (Best), D (Better), or E (Good). Images recorded in JPEG format are suited for viewing on your PC or for attaching to e-mail. Noise Reduction Process to reduce noise (image roughness or unevenness) caused by low shutter speed. 6 NTSC/PAL These are video output formats. NTSC is mainly used in Japan, North America, and South Korea. PAL is mainly used in Europe and in China. Quality Level This refers to the image compression ratio. The lower the compression, the more detailed the image. The image becomes rougher as the compression rate rises. RAW data Unedited image data output from the CCD. Raw data is data before being internally processed by the camera. Add settings that are added before shooting in other file formats (such as White Balance, Contrast, Color Tone and Sharpness) individually frame by frame after shooting. In addition, RAW data is 12bit data that contains 16 times the information of 8bit JPEG and TIFF data. Rich gradations are possible. Transfer RAW data to your computer and use the provided software to create image data with different settings, such as JPEG or TIFF. Appendix

Appendix
Histogram
A graph that shows the darkest and brightest points in an image. The
horizontal axis represents the brightness and the vertical axis represents
the number of pixels. This is useful when you wish to refer to the exposure
status of an image.
Hot Spot
Hot spots in the image lose contrast and appear white.
JPEG
An image compression method. The image is recorded in JPEG format
when the quality level is set to
C
(Best),
D
(Better), or
E
(Good).
Images recorded in JPEG format are suited for viewing on your PC or for
attaching to e-mail.
Noise Reduction
Process to reduce noise (image roughness or unevenness) caused by low
shutter speed.
NTSC/PAL
These are video output formats. NTSC is mainly used in Japan, North
America, and South Korea. PAL is mainly used in Europe and in China.
Quality Level
This refers to the image compression ratio. The lower the compression,
the more detailed the image. The image becomes rougher as the
compression rate rises.
RAW data
Unedited image data output from the CCD. Raw data is data before being
internally processed by the camera. Add settings that are added before
shooting in other file formats (such as White Balance, Contrast, Color
Tone and Sharpness) individually frame by frame after shooting. In
addition, RAW data is 12bit data that contains 16 times the information of
8bit JPEG and TIFF data. Rich gradations are possible. Transfer RAW
data to your computer and use the provided software to create image data
with different settings, such as JPEG or TIFF.
