Glossary Digital zoom: Unlike optical zoom, digital zoom does not increase the amount of visible detail. Instead, details visible using optical zoom are simply enlarged, producing a slightly “grainy” image. DPOF (Digital Print Order Format): A standard that allows pictures to be printed from “print orders” stored on a memory card. The information in the order includes the pictures to be printed and the number of copies of each picture.
Memory Card Capacity The following table shows the recording time or number of pictures available at different image sizes. All figures are approximate; file size varies with the scene recorded, producing wide variations in the number of files that can be stored.
