3D movie format: FUJIFILM has extended the generic Motion JPEG format to create an AVI movie file format that supports 3D. 3D movie files have the extension “*.AVI” and can be played back on the camera in 3D with stereo sound. When viewed in Windows Media Player, only the images recorded with the left lens will be displayed.

Digital zoom: Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom does not increase the amount of visible detail. Instead, details visible using optical zoom are simply enlarged, producing a slightly “grainy” image.

DPOF (Digital Print Order Format): A standard that allows pictures to be printed from “print orders” stored in internal memory or on a memory card. The information in the order includes the pictures to be printed and the number of copies of each picture.

EV (Exposure Value): The exposure value is determined by the sensitivity of the image sensor and the amount of light that enters the camera while the image sensor is exposed. Each time the amount of light doubles, EV increases by one; each time the amount of light is halved, EV decreases by one. The amount of light entering the camera can be controlled by adjusting aperture and shutter speed.

Exif Print: A standard that allows information stored with pictures to be used for optimal color reproduction during printing.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group): A compressed file format for color images. The higher the compression rate, the greater the loss of information and more noticeable drop in quality when the picture is displayed.

Motion JPEG: An AVI (Audio Video Interleave) format that stores sound and JPEG images in a single file. Motion JPEG fi les can be viewed on a computer using Windows Media Player (requires DirectX 8.0 or later).

Multi-picture format: An image file format that allows multiple images to be stored in a single file. This camera stores 3D images in multi-picture fi les with the extension “*.MPO”.
