Jpeg: The .Jpeg format is an image compression format. Compression results in
a certain loss of quality, however, the difference between the original and the
compressed image is not generally visibly when good quality compression is
chosen.
Jpeg is particularly suitable for photos. In general, digital cameras offer several
levels of JPEG compression. The number of photos that can be taken will be
different depending on the level of compression chosen: the more the image is
compressed, the worse the quality of the image but the file is smaller.
JPEG does not give good results with images containing few colours, a lot of
tinted areas and geometric shapes. For this type of image, it would be better to
use GIF format. By contrast, it reproduces colour graduations better and is
therefore more suited to the compression of photographic images.
LCD: LCD stands for "Liquid Crystal Display". This type of display does not emit
light and requires a light source. LCD technology is mainly used for digital
camera or camcorder screens, or for some TV and computer monitors and digital
photo frames In the case of digital cameras and camcorders, LCD screens permit
access to a menu, allow you to check a scene in real time or to display photos
after taking them.
