Fujifilm FinePix F401 Mode D'Emploi

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 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.

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.

exposure) in a high-temperature environment.

This is a characteristic of CCDs and does not
indicate a camera fault.
