EXPLANATION OF TERMS AE Auto Exposure; by using a built-in exposure meter, camera determines the correct exposure value, which is combinations of shutter speed and/or aperture value.
CMOS Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor (CMOS) can perform signal amplication on a per-pixel basis. Significant current flows only during the switching operation. Therefore a CMOS image sensor can scan data rapidly, sustain high-speed operation and consume less energy. Recent technological and production improvements in digital imaging systems are making CMOS more and more competitive in terms of image quality and cost.
