Digital Print Order Format
DPOF is a format used for recording information on a storage media (image
memory card, etc.) that allows you to specify which of the frames shot using a
digital camera are printed and how many prints are made of each image.
A number that denotes exposure. The EV is determined by the brightness of the
subject and sensitivity (speed) of the film or CCD. The number is larger for bright
subjects and smaller for dark subjects. As the brightness of the subject changes,
a digital camera maintains the amount of light hitting the CCD at a constant level
by adjusting the aperture and shutter speed.
When the amount of light striking the CCD doubles, the EV increases by 1. Like-
wise, when the light is halved, the EV decreases by 1.
The frame rate is a unit used to indicate the number of images (frames) played
back per second. This camera shoots movie files at 10 consecutive frames per
second, a rate that is expressed as 10 fps. By comparison, TV images are played
at 30 fps.
Joint Photographics Experts Group
A file format used for compressing and saving color images. The compression
ratio can be selected, but the higher the compression ratio, the poorer the quality
of the expanded image.
A type of AVI (Audio Video Interleave) file format that handles images and sound
as a single file. Images in the file are recorded in JPEG format. Motion JPEG can
be played back by QuickTime 3.0 or later.
A generic term for cards that meet the PC Card Standard.
A standard for PC cards determined by the PCMCIA.
Personal Computer Memory Card International Association (US).
Whatever the kind of the light, the human eye adapts to it so that a white object
still looks white. On the other hand, devices such as digital cameras see a white
subject as white by first adjusting the color balance to suit the color of the ambient
light around the subject. This adjustment is called matching the white balance. A
function that automatically matches the white balance is called an Automatic
White Balance function.
Exif Print Format is a newly revised digital camera file format that contains a vari-
ety of shooting information for optimal printing.
