Page 163: Glossary Of Terms
Glossary of terms CCD (Charge-Coupled Device) This converts light passing through the lens into electrical signals. On this camera, light is picked up and converted into RGB signals to build a single image. Contrast Detection Method This is used to measure the distance to the subject. The camera determines if the image is focused by the level of contrast in the subject.
Page 164: Noise Reduction
Glossary of terms Noise reduction When shooting in dark places, shutter speeds become slower as there is less light focused on the CCD. During long exposures, signals are generated by parts of the CCD where no light is focused and are recorded on the picture as noise. When noise reduction works, the camera automatically reduces the noise to produce clearer images.
