RGB was derived from our own perception of color because human eyes are sensitive to red, green and blue (see trichromaticity). or CMYK (Cyan Magenta Yellow blacK) The color space used for commercial printing and most color computer printers. In theory, cyan, magenta and yellow (CMY) can print all colors, but inks are not pure and black comes out muddy. color, and offers the option of saving RAW files in addition to TIFF and JPEG JPEG in full Joint Photographic Experts Group Standard computer file format for storing graphic images in a compressed form for general use.

Lenses from Schneider-Kreuznach and Carl Zeiss
Carl Zeiss (September 11, 1816 – December 3, 1888) was an optician commonly known for the company he founded, Zeiss. are included in the bundle. Rollei's new bundle, which includes lenses from Schneider-Kreuznach and Carl Zeiss, retains full compatibility with the Rollei 6000 system. This makes it compatible with more than 20 current 6000 system lenses. Three new AF lenses have been developed for the auto focus modes of the 6008 AF. With the auto focus technology, all the camera's main functions -- such as focusing, exposure and flash control -- can be carried out fully automatically or controlled manually. It's also possible to individually program the camera's functions via a PC or Mac computer's Firewire port, which allows you to program virtually everything in the camera and operate it by remote control. Rollei is famous for its square view finder. The 6008 AF continues that tradition, but features a newly developed illuminated LC control centre in the finder that provides photographers with all the camera data they need. The new auto focus system features TTL (1) (Time To Live) A parameter in a network packet that sets a time limit to its validity. In order to prevent an IP packet from propagating endlessly through the network, the value in the TTL field is reduced by each router. exposure metering and high-focusing precision with image sharpness never before seen in 6 x 6 medium-format photography. The 6008 AF also features a new TTL flash-control system. The TTL sensor is integrated into the camera and measures the amount of flash light reaching the film -- parallax-free and at the exact viewing angle. All available shutter speeds are flash-synchronized, which give pros a considerable advantage when working in daylight or for filling in shadows and strong subject contrasts. The Rollei 6008 AF weighs 1500 grams and is 143 x 139 x 124 mm without lens. The new bundle represents Rollei's integration strategy for its product family. This means that photographers can benefit from new developments without having to outsource for lenses and accessories. This integration not only saves photographers valuable time in selecting and ordering products, but it also prevents product obsolescence ob·so·les·cent adj. 1.
