Appendix B — Glossary

This section provides brief explanations of terms used in conjunction with the camera. Refer to these items individually in the Index in this manual to find additional reference material about the following terms.

AC battery charger/adapter. This unit provides a continuous source of power to the camera, with sufficient power to support continuous operation of the camera as well as to continue charging the camera battery.

Archive.

An image copied or moved from the camera to the hard disk

 

on your computer.

Archive folder. See Image archive folder.

Balance.

Balance features (lighting and click-balance) on the driver

 

image window, that allow you to indicate the original

 

lighting conditions under which you took the picture or

 

otherwise adjust color. Your selection is used for color

 

correction by the software driver when the image is acquired

 

into your image editing application.

BIN file.

This file contains firmware, the control programming used by

 

the camera. You copy — download — this software from

 

your computer hard disk into the camera when you click the

 

LOAD CAMERA FIRMWARE button. Downloading firmware is a

 

onetime action. You do not need to repeatedly copy the

 

firmware each time you use the camera. Instead, you only

 

download firmware the first time you use the camera, and

 

then when you receive firmware updates or if you are

 

experiencing unusual problems with the camera.

Burst.

A rapid sequence of photographs taken by holding down the

 

camera shutter release. (Not supported by all camera

 

models.)
