Video Clips Connecting to the Computer Getting Ready Glossary ● AF/AE AF (auto-focus)......A function for automatically focusing your camera. AE (auto-exposure).......A function for automatically setting your camera’s exposure. AF/AE lock......Locking of the focus and exposure settings. ● DPOF (Digital Print Order Format) A standard for directly writing print information to the SD Memory Card. Files in this format can be printed easily by printers or photo print service bureaus that support this format. ● DCF (Design Rule for Camera File System) A file system standard defined by the JEIDA (Japan Electronic Industry Development Association) that is required for exchanging data between digital still cameras or a digital camera and a printer. This standard defines the hierarchy and file names used when storing image files on memory cards or other recording medium. ● Exif File Format (Exchangeable Image File Format) A color still image format for digital still cameras, which is approved by the JEITA (Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries Association). JPEG-compliant, this format is compatible with TIFF and JPEG and can be used in image processing software for most personal computers. ● JPEG A file format used for compressing and saving color images. The compression ratio can be selected, but the higher the compression ratio, the worse image quality becomes. This format is widely used in the paint software for PCs and on the Internet.

Video Clips Connecting to the Computer Getting Ready 95 ● NTSC (National Television System Committee) Method of television transmission, used in Japan and North America. ● PAL (Phase Alternate Line) Method of television transmission, used in the United Kingdom, Germany and other western European Countries. ● Red-Eye Effect The phenomenon that people’s eyes sometimes appear red in the picture when you use a flash to take a picture of them in low-light conditions. This is caused by the light of the flash reflecting off the inside of the eye. ● White Balance When the brightness of the light changes, the human eye adapts so that a white object still looks white. On the other hand, devices such as digital still cameras see a white subject as white by first adjusting the balance to suit the color of the ambient light around the subject. This adjustment process is called white balance. ● SD Memory Card The Secure Digital (SD) Memory Card is a flash memory storage device designed by the consortium of Matsushita Electronic (Panasonic), SanDisk and Toshiba to meet the security, capacity, performance and environmental requirements inherent in emerging audio and video consumer electronics devices. This recording medium can be used over and over again. Glossary (continued)

Video Clips Connecting to the Computer Getting Ready ● Formatting Transforming the contents of the SD Memory Card to a recordable state. (This is sometimes called “initialization”.) ● Exposure Compensation When the screen contains an extremely bright or dark object, the camera automatically adjusts the brightness, resulting in the subject being reproduced darker or lighter. Exposure compensation adjusts for this. Glossary (continued)
