The ISO standard ISO 12232:2006 gives digital still camera manufacturers a choice of five different techniques for determining the exposure index rating at each sensitivity setting provided by a particular camera model. Three of the techniques in ISO 12232:2006 are carried over from the 1998 version of the standard, while two new techniques allowing for measurement of JPEG output files are introduced from CIPA DC-004. Depending on the technique selected, the exposure index rating can depend on the sensor sensitivity, the sensor noise, and the appearance of the resulting image. The standard specifies <answer>the measurement of light sensitivity of the entire digital camera system and not of individual components</answer> such as digital sensors, although Kodak has reported using a variation to characterize the sensitivity of two of their sensors in 2001.
What does the standard of ISO 12232:2006 specify?
