Metering

The metering refers to the way in which the camera measures the quantity

of light to set the exposure.

MF (Manual Focus)

A system that manually focuses the camera lens on the subject.

You can use the focus ring to focus on a subject.

MJPEG (Motion JPEG)

A video format which is compressed as a JPEG image.

MPO (Multi Picture Object)

An image le format that contains multiple images in a le. An MPO le

provides a 3D eect on MPO-compatible displays, such as 3D TVs or 3D

monitors.

Image sensor

The physical part of a digital camera that contains a photosite for each

pixel in the image. Each photosite records the brightness of the light that

strikes it during an exposure. Common sensor types are CCD (Charge-

coupled Device) and CMOS (Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor).

IP (Internet protocol) address

An IP address is a unique number that is assigned to every device that is

connected to the internet.

ISO sensitivity

The sensitivity of the camera to light, based on the equivalent lm speed

used in a lm 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.

JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group)

A lossy method of compression for digital images. JPEG images are

compressed to reduce their overall le size with minimal deterioration of

the image resolution.
