Picture resolution (mega-pixel)

12.2

The more pixels will mean a better quality of print. Digital cameras come in a range of resolutions from 0.3 Megapixel up to around 16.7 Megapixel.

Image resolution

4272x2848

Refers to the number of pixels used to either capture or display an image. The higher the resolution the finer the image detail that can be seen.

LCD monitor (inches)

3.0

Most digital cameras have an built-in screen, which allows you to preview the image you have just taken, so you can delete the images you don't like. It also provides easy access to camera settings and features via the on-screen menu controls.

Focal length (mm)

1.6x Multiplication with EF lens fitted

Describes the magnifying power of the camera''s lens. The longer the focal length the greater the magnification. Conversely, the smaller the focal length, the more wide angle the lens.

Metering

TTL full aperture metering with 35-zone SPC

This is how the camera measures the amount of light being reflected by whatever you are trying to photograph, to determine the correct exposure for that particular scene. Different types of metering used by digital cameras include: Spot, Multi-pattern and centre weighted metering.

Shutter speeds (seconds)

30-1/4000

Shutter speed is the amount of time the shutter allows light onto the CCD. The slower the shutter speed, the more motion is recorded by the camera.

Maximum aperture

f2.8

Ratio of the focal length of the lens to the diameter of the light rays passing through. Smaller numbers represents more light allowed to pass through.

Flash modes

Auto, Manual Flash On/Off, Red-Eye Reduction

On fully automatic cameras, the flash fires automatically whenever the light is too dim to take a photo by natural light. On more sophisticated cameras, there are various flash modes you can choose from for more creative effects.
