CAMERA DSC-S 90

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.

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.

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.

Interface ports to connect pieces of equipment. USB (Universal Serial Bus) has become the most popular wired interface to connect peripherals. USB 2.0 supports speeds up to 480 Mbit/s (USB 1: 12 Mbit/s). The wireless interface FireWire is also known as the IEEE 1394 standard. Enhanced IDE (EIDE)is sometimes referred to as Fast ATA, Fast IDE or ATA-2.

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

Maximum battery life in hours. Mobile Mark™ (2002) is the standard often used to benchmark battery life time. In some cases battery life can be extended by adding extra batteries.
