Glossary

The sensitivity of the camera to light, based on the equivalent film 
speed used in a film camera. At higher ISO sensitivity settings, 
the camera uses a higher shutter speed, which can reduce blur 
caused by camera shake and low light. However, images with 
high sensitivity are more susceptible to noise.

A lossy method of compression for digital images. JPEG images 
are compressed to reduce their overall file size with minimal 
deterioration of the image resolution. 

A visual display commonly used in consumer electronics. This 
display needs a separate backlight, such as CCFL or LED, to 
reproduce colors.

This feature allows you to capture close-up photos of very small 
objects. When using the macro feature, the camera can maintain 
a sharp focus on small objects at a near life-size ratio (1:1).

The metering refers to the way in which the camera measures the 
quantity of light to set the exposure.

A video format which is compressed as a JPEG image.

Misinterpreted pixels in a digital image that may appear as 
misplaced or random, bright pixels. Noise usually occurs when 
photos are shot with a high sensitivity or when a sensitivity is 
automatically set in a dark place. 

This is a general zoom which can enlarge images with a lens and 
does not degrade image quality.

An expression of the rate of compression used in a digital image. 
Higher quality images have a lower rate of compression, which 
usually results in a larger file size.

The number of pixels present in a digital image. High resolution 
images contain more pixels and typically show more detail than 
low resolution images.
