Glossary
Exif: A digital camera image le format that stores information on the time of recording, resolu-
tion, camera orientation, and the type of device used to record the image. The data recorded also
include the thumbnails displayed in the viewer during multi-frame playback.
JPEG (Joint Photographic Experts Group): A compressed le format for color images. The higher
the compression rate, the greater the loss of information and the more noticeable the drop in
quality when the picture is displayed.

tion (CIPA) that allows multiple images to be stored in a single le. Multi-picture les have the
extension “*.MPO”.

ent angles.
Slide show: A series of images (slides) displayed one after the other, sometimes with transition ef-
fects between slides.
