AdobeRGB
This color space is recommended for commercial printing and document creation by Adobe Systems (US). Its color reproduction range is larger than sRGB and adequately covers the color reproduction range for printing. Therefore, color data only reproducible on a printer are not lost when editing on a computer. Note that using AdobeRGB with unsupported software causes colors to appear faint.
CCD RAW data
CCD stands for Charge Coupled Device, a semiconductor device that converts optical information into electrical signals. RAW image data is raw data recorded from CCD output. This data can be transferred to a computer, and manipulated into image data with unique settings such as JPEG and TIFF using supplied software.
CSV format
This data format lists recording fields and separates them with a comma
(,). Generally, character strings are indicated with double quotation marks in CSV format. Some software include data input and output functions in CSV format as part of a multipurpose format.
Exif stands for Exchangeable Image File Format. This image file format is based on the JPEG image data format, and allows thumbnail images and image properties to be embedded into the data. Software that does not support this format processes the image as a regular JPEG image.
Exif stands for Exchangeable Image File Format. This image file format is based on the TIFF image data format, and allows thumbnail images and image properties to be embedded into the data. Software that does not support this format processes the image as a regular TIFF image.
JPEG
An image compression format. Although the image quality deteriorates a little, images can be compressed to a smaller file size than with TIFF and other formats.
