Company Profile:
Available in cameras equipped with motorized focus, this feature provides automatic adjustment of the focus. AF operates by varying the focus to maximize the high frequency content of the central area of the picture by reference to high luminance and strong contrast elements. In some cameras, AF can be set to High or Low sensitivity modes. AF mode is not recommended for continuous 24-hour operation. See also One-push AF, Interval AF, Zoom triggered AF.
Industry:Consumer electronics
Interference phenomenon which occurs when a sampled signal contains frequencies that are higher than half the sampling frequency. A CCD samples the picture spatially. An optical low-pass filter is used to avoid aliasing, especially in color applications.
Industry:Consumer electronics
The ratio of width over height of an image, 4:3 for a standard TV image, 16:9 for wide screen.
Industry:Consumer electronics
Camera signal processing function which adjusts the enhancement of edges of objects in a picture.
Industry:Consumer electronics
IEEE 1394 data transmission mode without a guaranteed data delivery time. Used in IEEE 1394 cameras for control functions and reports.
Industry:Consumer electronics
In ATW mode, white balance is continuously being adjusted according to the color temperature of the scene illumination.
Industry:Consumer electronics
Type of camera mount in which there is 38 mm or 48 mm clearance between the lens rear mounting surface and the camera’s CCD.
Industry:Consumer electronics
Special compensation option in AE (Auto Exposure) mode. When the background is too bright and/or when the subject is too dark, backlight compensation modifies the action of Auto Exposure to make the subject appear clearer.
Industry:Consumer electronics
A function of Digital Signal Processing technology that enables the contrast of the black area of an image to be variable adjusted. The black stretch function emphasizes contrast in the dark areas while black compress enhances or deepens darkness.
Industry:Consumer electronics
Semiconductor device made of a matrix (or lines) of individual photosensitive elements, called pixels. The optics focus the scene onto the matrix and each pixel accumulates an electric charge proportional to the local intensity of received light and to the integration time. At read out time, all charges are transferred at the same time to an output matrix protected from light, where a sequential reading may take place while a new picture starts integrating. The output matrix size is half that of the sensitive matrix size for interlaced mode CCDs, and the same size for progressive scan CCDs.
