Glossary of terms

*.oef
This extension indicates an image
file format used exclusively for
OLYMPUS Studio. When
development processed RAW data
is saved in *.oef format, only the
image processing results are saved
and the original RAW data is left
untouched. When a saved *.oef file
is opened, an image is displayed
with the image processing results
applied to the original RAW data.
The *.oef format can only be set for
RAW data.
*.osf
This extension indicates the format
for an image processing file. This file
format is selected when saving the
image processing settings applied to
a specific image as a file. This file
can then be used to apply previous
image processing settings to
another file.
Batch Processing
This function can be used to apply
the selected image processing to
several image files. With OLYMPUS
Studio, images in several files or
folders can be edited at the same
time.
Bitmap
This format is used to manage data
by assigning an address to each
pixel. In Macintosh, this also refers
to a graphic or text displayed as a
combination of pixels. The bitmap
file format is commonly used in
Windows. This bitmap data relies on
a device and does not contain
palette information.
288
Color Space
This is the defined color
reproduction area. The color
reproduction area varies depending
on the printer, monitor, or other
input/output device; therefore, to
ensure a uniform color environment
from input to output, color space
must be used to manage the varying
color reproduction areas.
DCF
Design rule for Camera File system.
This image format enables the
sharing of image files recorded
using digital cameras from different
manufacturers.
Exif
Exchangeable Image File Format.
This is an image file format with an
embedded thumbnail images or
shooting information and based on
the JPEG image file format.
IEEE1394 (FireWire)
This is a standard for connecting a
computer with an external device.
An IEEE1394 (FireWire) cable
conforms to this standard and is
used to connect a digital camera or
digital video camera. Because this
type of cable has a fast transfer rate
of 400 Mbps, it is able to transfer
large amounts of data very quickly. It
also supports a function
(Isochronous transmission) that
guarantees regular data
transmission.
