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.
