6 Computer Connectivity
Flash 7
8 Power
Below you will find many of these common terms and their definitions.
Pixel (picture element)
Digital images are composed of millions of small squares. A square is equivalent to one pixel. The more pixels a camera's image quality will be better.
Megapixels

Megabyte - (MB)

LCD(Liquid Crystal Display) is a mini-screen for viewing images.
Viewfinder is the optical "window" to look through the pictures.

Digital zoom simply crops the image to a smaller size, and then enlarges the cropped portion of the frame to fill.
Optical zoom works like a digital zoom. The lens changes the focal length and increaseMagnification zooms like.
File formats: JPEG, TIFF, RAW
Be the dominant format for image compression in digital cameras, TIFF and RAW uncompressed image files used - JPEG.
White Balance - White balance the camera to compensate for the type of light (daylight, fluorescent, tungsten, etc.)
Compression - the process of compacting digital data, images and texts selected by the deletionInformation.
