PAL
Phase Alternating Line (PAL) video format, primarily used in Europe,
excluding France, as well as Australia and parts of the Far East. PAL
delivers 625 lines at 50 half-frames per second.
RAW
The RAW image format is the data as it comes directly from the image
sensor of the camera. No in-camera processing is performed before
transferring the image to computer.
Shutter Speed
The camera’s shutter opens for a length of time to control the amount of
light that reaches the imaging element. The length of time that shutter blinds
are open allowing light to strike the image sensor is called a shutter speed.
White Balance
The human eye and brain adapt to changes in lighting conditions, not only
to intensity, but also to the color characteristic of the light source, so that
colors of the objects look normal or accurate. For example, a white object
will appear white whether it is viewed under sunlight, tungsten or
fluorescent illumination. However, color film or digital camera must be
adjusted, so that colors will be represented accurately, under different types
of illumination. This adjustment is called white balance. The function to
adjust a white balance automatically is called automatic white balance.
