HP 618 Digital Camera User’s Guide 118 Glossary
HP Imaging Technology
State-of-the-art image processing technology developed by HP that captures sharp, colorful images with
exceptional levels of detail, individually optimizes every image, and produces great detail in highlights
and shadows.
icon
A picture on an LCD, computer screen, or printed on a device that represents a specific setting. Icons on a
digital camera’s LCD communicate the camera's status, such as particular settings that have been made
for taking a picture. See also “LCD” on page 119.
image
The electronic version of a photograph as it is stored in a digital camera, computer, or other electronic
medium. Digital cameras capture and store an image when you take a picture. See also “picture” on
page 120 and “photo” on page 120.
image LCD
The Liquid Crystal Display on the back of the camera. The image LCD and its accompanying
buttons and soft keys let you view and work with images on the camera. See also “DISPLAY button” on
page 116, “MENU button” on page 119, and “soft keys” on page 122.
image size
See “size” on page 122.
image type
The type of image the camera will capture. There are three image types: One Shot, Continuous, and
Timelapse. You can change the image type by pressing the left soft key while in Capture mode. See also
“Continuous image type” on page 116, “One Shot image type” on page 119, and “Timelapse image type”
on page 123.
image type icon
An icon that appears on the left side of the bottom overlay bar in the image LCD and shows the image
type setting in Capture mode.
image type soft key
The left soft key on the back of the camera that you press to set the image type in Capture mode.
infrared
A type of connection that allows images to be transmitted between the camera and another device (such
as a printer) without connecting wires when the infrared window on the camera is lined-up with an infrared
sensor on the other device. See also “JetSend” on page 118.
infrared window
The window on the front of the camera that uses the HP JetSend infrared technology. See also “JetSend”
on page 118.
interval
The time between images being captured for the Timelapse image type.
ISO number
The International Organization for Standardization rating for film or CCD sensitivity. A higher ISO number
means less light is needed to take a picture. CCDs in digital cameras are rated in terms of ISO numbers.
ISO is not an acronym; it is derived from the Greek “isos”, meaning equal. See also “CCD” on page 116.
JetSend
A protocol developed by HP for sending image data from one device to another without using any
connecting cables between the devices. JetSend uses infrared technology to transmit images from the
camera to a printer for printing.
JPEG
A compressed image file format developed by the Joint Photo Expert Group. Its strengths are very small
file sizes and fast display rates. (It is 7 to 10 times faster than some other image file formats.) See also “file
type” on page 117 and “TIFF” on page 122.
