or ADC)

auto white balance (AWB)
Charge Coupled Device (CCD)
Denitions
A simple technique professional photographers use to ensure
they properly expose their pictures, especially in challenging
lighting situations. When AEB is selected, the camera
automatically takes three or more shots with a different
exposure for each frame.
Auto focus refers to a camera lens’ ability to adjust its
conguration in order to focus properly on a subject regardless
of whether it is near or far from the camera. Auto focus lenses
generally provide vastly superior image quality than do their
xed focus cousins since they do not have to rely on their depth
of eld. Also known as: “AF”, “auto-focus”.
An end-user created object that is used to logically group data
objects according to some user-dened criteria. An album may
or may not be a physical folder in a le system.
A circuit that converts an analog signal, having a continuously
varying amplitude, to a digitally quantized representation using
binary output signals.
With auto white balance, the camera attempts to determine the
color temperature of the light and automatically adjust for that
color temperature. Many people just leave the camera set to
auto white balance all the time.
A type of silicon integrated circuit used to convert light into an
electronic signal.

Digital Print Order Format
(DPOF)
The process of encoding information using fewer bits cf. image
compression, sound le compression.
A standardized ASCII le created in a digital camera and stored
on removable media along with the image les that indicate how
many copies of which images should be printed. It also allows
index prints, cropping, and text overlays to be specied.

signal representing a still picture, or records a digital signal
representing a still picture on a removable medium, such as a
memory card or magnetic disk.
A compressed le format for digital cameras in which the images
are compressed using the baseline JPEG standard, described in
ISO 12234-2, and metadata and thumbnail images are stored
using TIFF tags within an application segment at the beginning
of the JPEG le.
A numerical value that is inversely proportional to the exposure
provided to an image sensor to obtain an image. Images
obtained from a camera using a range of exposure index values
will normally provide a range of image quality levels.
A numerical value calculated from the exposure provided at the
focal plane of an electronic camera to produce specied camera
output signal characteristics using the methods described in the
referenced standard. The ISO speed should correlate with the
highest exposure index value that provides peak image quality
for normal scenes.
JPEG

Joint Photographic Experts Group. An image compression
method dened in ISO/IEC 10918-1.
