Glossary

●
AVCHD Progressive
By doubling the vertical resolution and using progressive
(sequential) scanning, this mode generates less noise and
increases the depth of the recorded picture.
With this software, AVCHD Progressive recorded with a digital
camera conforming to the AVCHD standard can be copied with
high-definition picture quality to memory cards or Blu-ray Discs.
●
AVCHD format
This standard is for the recording and playback of high definition
video.
Some digital cameras can record motion pictures in AVCHD or
AVCHD Lite. Then, with this software, these motion pictures can
be copied in high definition quality to a memory card or DVD.
(Playback is possible on devices compatible with AVCHD.)
●
MP4 format
This recording format is suitable for editing on a PC or uploading
to websites because it is saved as a single motion picture file.
As the recording method is different from that of the AVCHD
format, these formats are not compatible. Also note that MP4 files
can only be played back on MP4 compatible devices.
●
MPEG2 format
A picture data compression format and part of the MPEG
standard.
With this software, motion pictures recorded with digital cameras
can be converted to MPEG2 format with standard picture quality.
●
WMV format
A standard that is suitable for streaming videos playback with
high picture quality and that has been developed based on the
MPEG-4 standard.
In this software, only the short movie story upload output function
is compatible with this format.
●
MPO format
A standard for recording 3D still pictures. With this software, 3D
still pictures that are recorded with the digital camera can be
converted to JPEG format for display, editing and printing.
●
DVD-Video
This format can be played back on ordinary DVD players.
With this software, motion pictures that were recorded in AVCHD
Progressive/AVCHD/AVCHD Lite can be converted to DVD-Video
format to create a DVD.
●
Exif
Exif is an abbreviation for Exchangeable Image File Format.
This format embeds information other than a picture in a JPEG or
TIFF file. The thumbnail, recording date and time, digital camera
name, focal length, aperture, shutter speed, white balance, GPS
information (positional information) and other information can be
recorded.
Using the Exif information, PHOTOfunSTUDIO can print the
recording date and do automatic categorizing.
●
Exif Print (Exif2.2)
Nickname of Exif2.2.
Exif2.2 refers to technology that accurately prints data recorded
with the digital camera on the printer.
If you have an Exif2.2-compliant printer and digital camera, the
printer uses the information recorded when the picture was taken
for the prints.
●
PRINT Image Matching
This is technology created by Seiko Epson Corporation that
enables digital cameras and printers to work together.
If you have a compliant digital camera and printer, you can reflect
the conditions during recording and the photographer's intention
more precisely on prints.
