pixel
Short for picture element. Each image is composed of a number
of pixels. Pixels are also counted in units of dots.
port
An interface channel through which data is transmitted between
devices.
PRINT Image Matching
A new standard that allows digital cameras to record special
information about the photos it takes and relay that information
seamlessly to a printer compatible with this standard. This
information can be used by printers that support the PRINT
Image Matching system for enhanced printing results.
resolution
An indication of how finely an image is resolved into pixels. See
pixel.
thumbnails
Small representations of images.
TIFF
A file format for storing color and grayscale images in files with
little or no data compression. (TIFF files made with the PhotoPC
3100Z receive no data compression.) Saving data in the TIFF
format results in files that are larger and have finer image quality
than image files with greater data compression, such as JPEG
and other format files. See JPEG.
white balance
The balance between the whiteness and color in your image.
When the white balance is fixed to the environment where the
picture is taken, the colors in your images appear more like those
seen by the eye.
zoom
To show a smaller area of an image at a higher magnification
(zoom in) or a larger area at a lower magnification (zoom out).
