ND (Neutral Density) Filter
A filter available in different saturation levels that adjusts the brightness without affecting the color tone of pictures.
Noise Reduction
Process to reduce noise (image roughness or unevenness) caused by slow shutter speed or high sensitivity shooting.
NTSC/PAL
These are video output formats. NTSC is mainly used in Japan, North America, and South Korea. PAL is mainly used in Europe and in China.
Quality Level
This refers to the image compression ratio. The lower the compression, the more detailed the image. The image becomes rougher as the compression rate rises.
RAW data
Unedited image data output from the CCD. RAW data is data before being internally processed by the camera. Camera settings at the time of capture, such as White Balance, Contrast, Saturation, and Sharpness can be set for each frame after shooting. In addition, RAW data is 12 bit data that contains 16 times the information of 8 bit JPEG data. Rich gradations are possible. Transfer RAW data to your computer and use the provided software to create image data with different settings, such as JPEG.
Recorded Pixels
Indicates the size of the image by the number of pixels. The more pixels that compose a picture, the larger the image size.
Shutter Speed
The length of time that the shutter is open and light strikes the CCD. The amount of light that strikes the CCD can be changed by altering the shutter speed.
sRGB (standard RGB)
International standard of color space established by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission). This is defined from color space for PC monitors and is also used as the standard color space for Exif.
