PAL (Phase Alternate Line)

A video color encoding standard used in numerous countries throughout
Africa, Asia, Europe, and the Middle East.

Quality

An expression of the rate of compression used in a digital image. Higher
quality images have a lower rate of compression, which usually results in a
larger file size.

RAW (CCD raw data)

The original, unprocessed data, collected directly from the camera’s image
sensor. White Balance, contrast, saturation, sharpness, and other data can
be manipulated with editing software before the image is compressed into
a standard file format.

Resolution

The number of pixels present in a digital image. High resolution images
contain more pixels and typically show more detail than low resolution
images.

Noise

Misinterpreted pixels in a digital image that may appear as misplaced or
random, bright pixels. Noise usually occurs when photos are shot with a
high sensitivity or when a sensitivity is automatically set in a dark place.

NFC (Near Field Communication)

You can use NFC-enabled devices to activate features or exchange data
with other devices.
