Canon is a leading provider of consumer, business-to-business, and industrial digital imaging solutions.
A bit, which stands for binary digit, is the smallest unit of digital information. Eight bits equals one byte. Digital images are often described by the number of bits used to represent each pixel. i.e. a 1-bit image is monochrome; an 8-bit image supports 256 colours or grayscales; while 24 or 32-bit supports true colour.
Industry:Consumer electronics
An electronic device that produces a burst of light the consumer can use to produce more exposure on the film.

Joint Photographic Experts Group, *.jpg. The de facto standard for image compression in digital imaging devices. JPEG is a lossy compression technique, capable of reducing digital images files to about 5% of their normal size. This is one of the reasons you can get as many images into your PowerShot digital camera as you can. The results in decompression of the files can cause "blockiness," the " jaggies," or "pixelization" in certain digital images. The greater the compression level the more pixelization or "blockiness" that will occur. The greater the pixel count, the less pixelization that may occur.

Liquid crystal display. The flat screen on many digital cameras that preview photographs that have already been taken. LCDs utilize two sheets of polarizing material with a liquid crystal solution between them. An electric current passed through the liquid causes the crystals to align so that light cannot pass through them. Each crystal, therefore, is like a shutter, either allowing light to pass through or blocking the light.

1024 Kilobytes, written MB, used to refer to the size of files or media such as hard drives. Refers to the amount of information in a file or how much information can be contained on a hard drive or disk.

Small Computer System Interface, is an interface for connecting peripherals to computers that allows the daisy-chaining of such devices. It is now widely used for scanners, digital cameras and CD-R drives, all devices that require transferring a large amount of data to the computer. SCSI is faster than RS-232-C, but is still obsolete when compared to the USB interface.
Industry:Consumer electronics
全新的外部总线标准，支持 12Mbps 的数字传输率。USB 估计会完整替代串行端口和并行端口。此外，USB 非常适合将数码相机的图像以高速即插即用方式下载到电脑上。

Industry:Consumer electronics
A chemical solution that changes invisible images exposed on light-sensitive film or paper into a visible image. Utilized in traditional camera film processing.
