Deactivated batteries
Leaving an Ni-MH battery unused in storage for a long period may cause a rise in the level of substances that
inhibit current flow inside the battery and result in a dormant battery. A battery in this state is referred to as
deactivated.
Because current flow is inhibited in a deactivated Ni-MH battery, the battery’s original level of performance cannot
be achieved.

EV
A number denotes Exposure Value. 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. Likewise, when the light is halved, the
EV decreases by 1.

Frame rate (fps)
The frame rate refers to the number of images (frames) that are photographed or played back per second. For
example, when 10 frames are continuously photographed in a 1-second interval, the frame rate is expressed as 10
fps.
For reference, TV images are displayed at 30 fps (NTSC).

JPEG
Joint Photographic Experts Group
A file format used for compressing and saving color images. The higher the compression rate, the greater the loss
of quality in the decompressed (restored) image.

Memory effect
If an Ni-MH battery is repeatedly charged without first being fully discharged, its performance may drop below its
original level. This is referred to as the “memory effect”.

Motion JPEG
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.

Smear
A phenomenon specific to CCDs whereby white streaks appear on the image when there is a very strong light
source, such as the sun or reflected sunlight, in the photography screen.

WAVE
A standard format used on Windows systems for saving audio data. WAVE files have the “.WAV” file extension and
the data can be saved in either compressed or uncompressed format. Uncompressed recording is used on this
camera.
WAVE files can be played back on a personal computer using the following software:
Windows: MediaPlayer

White Balance
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.

■ Standard number of available frames/recording time per media
The number of available frames, recording time or file size varies slightly depending on the subjects photographed. Note also that
the divergence between standard number of frames and the actual number of frames is greater for medias with higher capacities.

xD-Picture Card
According to the CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) standard procedure
for measuring digital still camera battery consumption (extract):
When using alkaline batteries, use the batteries supplied with the camera. You can use
Ni-MH batteries also. The storage media should be xD-Picture Card or Microdrive.
Pictures should be taken at a temperature of +23°C (+73°F), with the LCD monitor
turned on, AF-assist illuminator off, the optical zoom moved from full wide-angle to full
telephoto (or vice-versa) and back again to its original position every 30 seconds, the
flash used at full power every second shot and the camera turned off and then on again
once every 10 shots.
