CCD (Charge Coupled Device)
Photography element which converts the light entering through the lens
into electric signals.
DCF (design rule for camera file system)
An image file standard established by the Japan Electronics and
Information Technology Industries Association (JEITA).
DPOF (digital print order format)
Rules for writing information onto a card with recorded images, regarding
the specific images and number of copies to be printed. Prints can easily
be made by taking this to a DPOF photo printing store.
JPEG
An image compression method. The image is recorded in JPEG format
when the quality level is set to C (Best), D (Better), or E (Good).
Images recorded in JPEG format are suited for viewing on your PC or for

NTSC / PAL
These are video output formats. NTSC is mainly used in Japan, North
America, and South Korea. PAL is mainly used in European nations and

RAW data
Image data recording raw output from the CCD. Transfer RAW data to
your computer and use the provided software to create image data with
different settings, such as JPEG or TIFF.
sRGB (standard RGB)
International standard of color space established by the IEC (International
Electrotechnical Commission). By using sRGB compliant color
adjustments on peripheral devices for PCs, such as digital cameras,
printers, and monitors, differences in color during input and output are
reduced.
