Sensor Resolution (Megapixel)
?
 |
 |
|
| Meaning: Sensor resolution is the Number of pixels used to capture an image or a video. A good image or video resolution is achieved by combination of image or video sensor resolution and lens resolution.Benefits: The Higher the image or video sensor resolution, the better the image or video quality. |

Optical Sensor Type
?
|
|
|
| Meaning: The two types of censors are CCD and CMOS. CCD - Charged Coupled Device sensor is a light sensitive chip used for Image gathering. CMOS - Coplimentary metal oxide Semiconductor is another type of image sensor found in digital cameras also.
How it functions: CCD is the most common form of photosensitive cells used to convert incoming light into electrical signals in Digital cameras. In their normal condition these are greyscale devices. To create colour, a colour pattern is laid down on the sensor pixels, using RGBG color mask. (Red, Green, Blue and Green).
Benefits: A digital image sensor converts light into electrical signals, which are then converted into an video inside the camcorder using the Camcorder video processor. |

Aperture (f/stops)
?
|
|
|
| Meaning: Aperture is the opening in a lens through which light passes to the sensor to create an image.
How it functions: Aperture size is usually caliberated in f-stops (f-numbers). The Higher the f number the smaller is the aperture. The common f-stops are f/2, f/2.8, f/4, f/8 etc. The aperture also defines the depth of field. Smaller the f-number, larger will be the depth feild and vice-versa. Thus, you can focus on certain objects for getting special effects.
Benefits: The quality of the video depends upon the aperture range and shutter speed of the camcorder. |

Digital Zoom
?
|
|
|
| Meaning: A Digital zoom is software inside the camcorder that enlarges subject in the video to be shot.How it functions: Due to the doubling of pixels the video begins fuzzier and fuzzier as you enlarge. Digital zoom enlarges the subject of the video to be shot, while reducing the resolution of the video. |

Minimum Focal Length (mm)
?
|
|
|
| Meaning: The focal length of a lens determines its angle of view. It is measured in mm from the optical center of the lens.
How it functions: It is located on the sensor if the subject video to be shot is in focus. The Camcorder lens projects part of the scene onto the sensor.
Benefits: The view of the video to be shot is wide angled when the focal length is minimum. |

Maximum Focal Length (mm)
?
|
|
|
| Meaning: The focal length of a lens determines its angle of view. It is measured in mm from the optical center of the lens.
How it functions: It is located on the sensor if the subject video to be shot is in focus. The camcorder lens projects part of the scene onto the sensor.
Benefits: The view of the video to be shot is narrow angled when the focal length is maximum. |

Filter Size(mm)
?
|
|
|
| How it functions: Filter size is determined by the inner diameter of the front of a lens. Most filters are inscribed with their filter size in millimeters. |

| Focus
|
Type of Focus
?
|
|
|
| Meaning: Focus is a point at which rays of light meet after being refracted or reflected.
How it functions: In auto focus mode the camcorder automatically focuses on the subject video to be shot in the focus area in the center of the LCD/ View finder. Manual focus disables the camcorders built-in automatic focus system so you can focus the lens by hand. |
|
|
|
|
|
Automatic, Manual
|
Zoom Adjustment
?
|
|
|
| Meaning: The action of varying the focal length of a zoom lens to enlarge or reduce the video is known as zoom.
How it functions: In a zoom lens, one can move different lens elements back and forth. The zoom adjustment is always motorized in the camcorders. |

|
Minimum Shutter Speed
?
|
|
|
| Meaning: Shutter speed is the time for which the camcorder exposes the sensor to the light being let in by the aperture setting.
Benefits: The slower the shutter speed, the longer is the exposure time and the image is clear. |
|
|
|
|
|
1/10 sec
|
Maximum Shutter Speed
?
|
|
|
| Meaning: Shutter speed is the time for which the camera exposes the sensor to the light being let by the aperture setting.
Benefits: The faster the shutter speed, the shorter the exposure time. |
|
|

|
Types of Exposure
?
|
|
|
| Meaning: Exposure occurs when light is permitted to strike the sensor.
How it functions: Exposure is determined by how wide you open the lens diaphragm (aperture) and by how long you keep the sensor exposed.
Benefits: There are three types of exposures Automatic, Manaul and Fixed. |
|

|
|
|
Automatic, Manual

| White Balance
|
Types
?
|
|
|
| Meaning: White Balance is a function on digital camera and camcorders to compensate for different colors of light being emitted by different light sources.
How it functions: There are three types of White Balance: Automatic, Manual and Presets. |

Image Stabilizer
?
|
|
|
| Meaning: Camcorders with high optical zoom come with an image stabilizing feature.
How it works: It automatically eliminates any camcorder shake like the slight shaky motion that can result as you hold the camcorder thus helping you ensure a crisp, sharp video.
Benefits: To get crisp, sharp, unshaky and blurry video. |

Image Format
?
|
|
|
| Meaning: Camcorders with Digital Still Camera function save the captured image in the JPEG format.
How it functions: Some types of image formats are as follows jpeg, gif, tiff, bitmap and the more complicated raw files. You can identify which format is used by looking at the end of the file after the period. For example, picture .jpg is a jpeg file. JPEG format is widely used. |

Resolution (Pixels)
?
|
|
|
| Meaning: Resolution measures the sharpness of the display or screen.
Benefits: The number of pixels that can be displayed on the screen is referred to as the resolution of the video. The higher the resolution, the better and clear is the image. |
