Canon XA60 3.5" LCD Touchscreen Digital Camcorder

Image sensor
Total megapixels A megapixel (MP or Mpx) is one million pixels, and is a term used not only for the number of pixels in an image, but also to express the number of image sensor elements of digital cameras or the number of display elements of digital displays. For example, a camera that makes a 2048 × 1536 pixel image typically uses a few extra rows and columns of sensor elements and is commonly said to have "3.2 megapixels" or "3.4 megapixels", depending on whether the number reported is the "effective" or the "total" pixel count (as opposed to the 2048 × 1536 = 3,145,728 finished image pixels).	21.14 MP
Sensor type A sensor is a convertor than measures a physical quality (light, temperature etc.) and displays this electronically on a device.	CMOS
Optical sensor size Optical sensors are electronic detectors that convert light, or a change in light, into an electronic signal. They are used in many industrial and consumer applications e.g. lamps that turn on automatically in response to darkness. Optical sensors come in many sizes.	25.4 / 2.3 mm (1 / 2.3")
Effective megapixels (image)	8.29 MP
Effective megapixels (movie)	8.29 MP

Lens system
Focal length range Measure of how strongly the system converges or diverges light. For an optical system in air, it is the distance over which initially collimated rays are brought to a focus. A system with a shorter focal length has greater optical power than one with a long focal length; that is, it bends the rays more strongly, bringing them to a focus in a shorter distance.For an optical system in air, the effective focal length (f and f′) gives the distance from the front and rear principal planes (H and H′) to the corresponding focal points (F and F′).	29.3 - 601 mm
Optical zoom Indicates the optical zoom capacity, which is the number of times that the picture can be enlarged with the optics of the camera.	20x
Filter size A filter is a screen, plate, or layer of a substance which absorbs light or other radiation or selectively absorbs some of its components e.g. a UV filter to reduce UV light. Filters come in various sizes.	5.8 cm
Digital zoom Indicates the digital zoom capacity, the number of times that the picture is enlarged thanks to digital technology.	40x
Image stabilizer This camera function compensates for slight shaking movements caused by an unstable position and ensures smooth footage even in suboptimal conditions.
Image stabilizer type	Electronic Image Stabilization (EIS), Optical Image Stabilization (OIS)
Minimum aperture number The minimum size of the hole through which light enters a camera.	1.8
Maximum aperture number	2.8

Storage

Focusing
Focus adjustment	Auto/Manual
Focus assist function

White balance
White balance Technique in photography and image processing, which involves a global adjustment of the intensities of the colors (typically red, green, and blue primary colors). An important goal of this adjustment is to render specific colors – particularly neutral colors including white – correctly.	Auto, Daylight

Shutter
Camera shutter speed Determines the length of time the shutter lets light pass through the lens to the CCD. Shutter speed and aperture together determine exposure.	1/6 – 1/2.000

Display
Display diagonal Size of the display for this product, measured diagonally, usually in inches.	8.89 cm (3.5")
Built-in display A display which is part of the product, so you do not need to attach another display.
Display The description of display that can includes display type, resolution, size etc.	LCD
Display resolution The number of distinct pixels in each dimension that can be displayed. It is usually quoted as width × height, with the units in pixels: for example, "1024 × 768" means the width is 1024 pixels and the height is 768 pixels. The higher the number of pixels, the sharper the image.	1280 x 720 pixels
Touchscreen A screen of a laptop, smartphone, etc., that responds to touch so you can control the interface using your fingers.

Viewfinder
Viewfinder type A viewfinder is the window in the camera through which a photographer views the picture. Used for choosing, composing, and often focusing the image. There are two types: optical and digital. In an optical viewfinder, the photographer looks through a transparent window to frame and focus the image. The photographer is seeing the real image, through the window of the viewfinder. With a digital viewfinde, there is an LCD display built into a camera that gives a digital view of where the camera is pointing. It's used to compose and focus the image.	Electronic
Viewfinder screen size	0.36"

Camera
Camcorder type There are various types of camcorder (personal video camera) e.g. handheld camcorder, shouldercam.	Handheld camcorder

Network
Bluetooth Bluetooth is a low-power radio technology developed to replace the cables and wires currently used to link or connect electronic devices such as personal computers, printers, and a wide variety of handheld devices including mobile phones. Because it uses radio-wave connectivity, a Bluetooth-enabled device has a constant, established connection to whatever browser it uses. This saves the user the trouble of logging on to check for emails or news updates, for example.
