Powershot A80

MegaPixels: The number (in millions) of light-sensitive picture elements, or pixels, actually used by the camera's image sensor (CCD) to record light, and which are reflected to the final number of recorded pixels stored on the memory card.

Indicates the digital zoom capacity, the number of times that the picture is enlarged thanks to digital technology.

Indicates the optical zoom capacity, the number of times that the picture can be enlarged with the optics of the camera.

Type of lens in this product, expressed as its characteristics including lens, zoom capability, focal length, 35 mm equivalent focal length, and aperture range

CMOS: Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor, Analog sensor that converts light into digital information. CCD: Charged Coupled Device, Digital sensor that converts light into digital information.

CCD (Charged Coupled Device): A silicone chip comprised of millions of tiny, square light-gathering diodes called Picture Elements, or pixels, laid out in a checkerboard pattern. This is the "film" of a digital camera. The light data gathered from these tiny pixels needs to be "processed" by the camera's image processor into Recorded Pixels. Super CCD: A proprietary CCD system, produced by Fujifilm, that utilizes larger, octagonal-shaped, light-gathering diodes called Picture Elements, or pixels, that are laid out in a saw-tooth pattern. Super CCDs can capture more light information than ordinary CCDs; the extra information is used by the camera's image processor to improve color accuracy and ISO Speed. Super CCD HR (High Resolution): Is capable of nearly doubling the Number of Effective Pixels that are processed and stored as additional detail in the Recorded Pixel file. Super CCD SR (Sensitivity and Range): Uses a combination of small and large octagonal-shaped pixels to further enhance color accuracy, while improving detail in the areas of shadows and highlights, much like traditional film

Determines the length of time the shutter lets light pass through the lens to the CCD. Shutter speed and aperture together determine exposure.

The amount of memory measured in megabytes installed in the system's hardware

The display technology. Flat screen technologies like Liquid Cristal Display (LCD) and Thin Film Transistor (TFT) active matrix technology are the trend. In TV technologies one can notice FST (Flat Screen Tube) technology, and ARASC (Anti Reflexion, Anti Static Coating) or AGARAS (Anti-Glare ARASC) or simply AGC (anti-glare coating). The old tv and screen technology CRT means Cathodic Ray Tube. MLA = Micro Lens Array. p-Si=Polycrystalline Silicon. a-Si=Amorphous Silicon.

Size of the display for this product; expressed in inches diagonal

Window in the camera through which a photographer views the picture. Used for choosing, composing, and often focusing the image. Optical Viewfinder (Real Image): The photographer looks through a transparent window to frame and focus the image. The photographer is seeing the real image, through the window of the viewfinder. Digital Viewfinder: An LCD display built into a camera that gives a digital view of where the camera is pointing. It's used to compose and focus the image.

An interface on a device to which you can connect another device.

Description of battery supplied with the product

The power supply (internal/external) type with which the product works. PFC = Power Factor Correcting. CE = CE brand compatible. If multiple values (Watt) are given it is often for low line versus high line conditions. Multiple power supplies are used for redundancy. When an extra power supply is optional this is indicated by mentioning the maximum number. Power supplies can be Hot Plug or non-Hot Plug.
