The compression ratio can be selected, but the higher the compression ratio, the worse image quality becomes. This format is widely used in the paint software for PCs and on the Internet. ● PC Card A generic term for cards that meet the PC Card Standard. ● Red-Eye Effect The phenomenon where people's eyes sometimes appear red in the picture when you use a flash to photograph them in low-light conditions. This is caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the inside of the eye. ● White Balance When the brightness of the light changes, the human eye adapts so that a white object still looks white. On the other hand, devices such as digital still cameras see a white subject as white by first adjusting the balance to suit the color of the ambient light around the subject. This adjustment process is referred to as matching the white balance. ● SmartMedia™ Name of a recording medium defined by the SSFDC Forum. This recording medium can be used over and over again. ● Formatting Transforming the contents of the SmartMedia™ to a recordable state. (This is sometimes called "initialization".) ● Exposure Compensation When the screen contains an extremely bright or dark object, the camera automatically adjusts the brightness, resulting in the subject being reproduced darker or lighter. Exposure compensation adjusts for this. 99 Additional Information Photography Erasing Images Applications Getting Ready Other Playing Back/ Basic
