Glossary

Appendix

P (Program) Mode

Also called Program AE mode. The camera automatically sets the best shutter

speed and aperture for the shot.

PictBridge

A standard that enables digital cameras and printers made by different

manufacturers to be connected, and also allows pictures to be printed directly

from the camera.

Pixels

A pixel is the smallest unit (dot) used to make up an image. Clear large-sized

printed images require millions of pixels.

RAW

Refers to raw data, data which has not been enhanced with a camera option

like white balance, sharpness, contrast, etc. This file format is for viewing and

processing with our own software. You may not be able to open or process

these files with other graphics software applications, and these files cannot be

selected for DPOF printing. RAW files are assigned an orf file extension (*.orf).

S (Shutter Priority) Mode

Also called Shutter Priority AE mode. The user selects the shutter speed and

the camera automatically varies the aperture so that the picture is taken with

the best exposure.

Single-lens reflex camera

A camera with a shooting lens working also as the viewfinder lens. The image

of the subject enters through the lens, reflects off of the mirror and into the

pentaprism, where focus is adjusted, then through the viewfinder lens.

Pictures are taken by framing the composition and adjusting the focus in the

viewfinder lens.

Sleep Mode

A mode designed to save battery life. The camera automatically enters the

sleep mode if you do not operate it for a certain time. To get out of the sleep

mode, use any button on the camera (shutter button, menu button, etc.)
