Glossary of terms
Resolution
The size of an image expressed by the number of pixels that make up the image. For
instance, a picture taken in 640 × 480 resolution is the same size as the screen when the
monitor setting is 640 × 480. However, if the monitor setting is 1024 × 768, the picture only
takes up part of the screen.
S (Shutter Priority) Mode
Also called Shutter Priority AE mode. The user selects the shutter speed and the camera
automatically varies the aperture so that the picture is taken with the best exposure.
Slave Flash
A wireless flash that is not connected to the camera by a synchronization cord. It flashes in
phase with the flash on the camera and can be used for lighting techniques, such as
changing the way shadows are cast on a subject.
Sleep Mode
A mode designed to save battery life. The camera automatically enters the sleep mode if
you do not operate it for a certain time. To get out of the sleep mode, use any button on the
camera (shutter button, arrow pad, etc.).
Synchro Terminals
Terminals on an external flash unit for connecting it to the camera.
TIFF (Tagged Image File Format)
A format used for saving highly detailed black and white or color image data. TIFF image
files can be handled by software programs for scanners and graphics applications. This
camera uses an uncompressed format.
TFT (Thin-Film Transistor) Color Monitor
A transistor color monitor constructed using thin-film technology.
TTL (Through-The-Lens) System
To help adjust exposure, a light receptor built into the camera directly measures the light
passing through the lens.
TTL-AUTO
For use with an external flash. Light emitted by the flash is reflected by the subject and
measured by the light receptor in the camera as it passes through the lens. This is used to
adjust the external flash intensity.
