Kodak 6B8773 manual Microdrive, Shutter Speed, White balance

LCD	Liquid Crystal Display. Your camera has four: the Top Status LCD panel,
	Back Status LCD panel, Image LCD panel, and the LCD inside the viewfinder.
Microdrive	Developed by IBM, Microdrives are small, hard disks that can fit in a
	CompactCard memory slot. The Microdrive is built into a Type II
	CompactFlash form factor.
NTST	National Television Standards Committee (NTSC) video format is primarily
	used in the United States, Japan, Canada etc. NTSC is a standard for
	television and videos, which defines a composite video signal with a refresh
	rate of 60 half-frames (interlaced) per second. Each frame contains 525
	lines and can contain 16 million different colors.
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 the shutter blinds
	are open allowing light to strike the image sensor is called 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. Your camera must be adjusted, so that colors will
	be represented accurately, under different types of illumination. This
	adjustment is called white balance.
