JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

A lossy method of compression for digital images. JPEG images are compressed to reduce their overall file size with minimal deterioration of the image resolution.

Noise

Misinterpreted pixels in a digital image that may appear as misplaced or random, bright pixels. Noise usually occurs when photos are shot with a high sensitivity or when a sensitivity is automatically set in a dark place.

Metering

The metering refers to the way in which the camera measures the quantity of light to set the exposure.

NTSC (National Television System Committee)

A video color encoding standard used most commonly in Japan, North America, the Philippines, South America, South Korea, and Taiwan.

MF (Manual Focus)

A system that manually focuses the camera lens on the subject. You can use the focus ring to focus on a subject.

Optical zoom

This is a general zoom which can enlarge images with a lens and does not deteriorate quality of images.

MJPEG (Motion JPEG)

A video format which is compressed as a JPEG image.

MPO (Multi Picture Object)

An image file format that contains multiple images in a file. An MPO file provides a 3D effect on MPO-compatible displays, such as 3D TVs or 3D monitors.

PAL (Phase Alternate Line)

A video color encoding standard used in numerous countries throughout Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.

Quality
