CCD
Stands for Charged Coupled Device. This is the light sensor behind the lens of you camera that records the image when you take a photograph. It consists of a grid of millions of tiny light sensors, one for each pixel of the image. The size of the CCD is measured in megapixels, and the higher the megapixel rating the better the image resolution of the CCD. read more…

Centre
Centre Weighted Metering This is when the camera takes an average light reading from the whole frame, but pays more attention to the centre of the image where the subject normally is. This has been largely superseded in digital photography by multi-pattern metering, which is better able to cope with unusual situations. read more…

Cleaning
Integrated Cleaning System ( ICS ) - Canon's version of sensor cleaning for digital SLR cameras. Self-Cleaning Sensor The EOS Integrated Cleaning System combats dust on the sensor in three important ways: Reduce, Repel and Remove. 1. Reduce Materials used in the shutter mechanism and body cap are engineered to minimise dust generation within the camera itself. 2. Repel Anti-static technologies are applied to the low-pass filter covering the... read more…

CMOS
CMOS Sensor - Stands for Complimentary Metal-Oxide Semiconductor. In the context of digital cameras this is a type of light sensor that offers far higher resolutions than a CCD at a fraction of the cost. However, this technology has not yet be fully exploited.( Used in the Canon D30) read more…
