| JPEG | |
| An image compression method. In this camera, select from C(Best), | |
| D(Better), or E(Good). Images recorded in JPEG format are suited for | |
| viewing on your computer or attaching to | |
| 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 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 CMOS sensor. 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 contain 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. | |
11 | Recorded Pixels | |
Indicates the size of the image by the number of pixels. The more pixels | ||
Appendix | ||
that compose a picture, the larger the image size. | ||

| Shutter Speed | |
| The length of time that the shutter is open and light strikes the CMOS | |
| sensor. The amount of light that strikes the CMOS sensor can be changed | |
| by altering the shutter speed. |
