1.

Pixel- a minute area of illumination on a display screen, one of

many from which an image is composed
2. Image resolution- is the detail an image holds
3. Megabyte- a unit of information equal to 220 bytes or, loosely, one
million bytes
4. Megapixel- a unit of graphic resolution equivalent to one million or
(strictly) 1,048,576 (220) pixels
5. Gigabyte- a unit of information equal to one billion (109) or, strictly,
230 bytes.
6. Jpeg- a format for compressing image files.
7. Raw- A camera raw image file contains minimally processed data
from the image sensor of either a digital camera, a motion picture film
scanner, or other image scanner.
8. Tiff- is a computer file format for storing raster graphics images,
popular among graphic artists, the publishing industry,
and photographers.
9. Png- is a file format for image compression that, in time, is expected
to replace the Graphics Interchange Format (GIF) that is widely used
on today's Internet.
10. White balance- is the process of removing unrealistic color casts,
so that objects which appear white in person are rendered white in
your photo.
11. Histogram- is a graphical representation of the tonal values of your
image.
12. Aperture- is a hole or an opening through which light travels.
13. Shutter speed- is the length of time when the film or digital sensor
inside the camera is exposed to light, also when a camera's shutter is
open when taking a photograph.
14. Depth of field- is the distance between the nearest and the furthest
objects that are in acceptably sharp focus.
15. Aperture priority- is a setting on some cameras that allows the
user to set a specific aperture value
16. Shutter priority- refers to a setting on some cameras that allows
the user to choose a specific shutter speed while the camera adjusts
the aperture to ensure correct exposure.
17. Bitmap- images are stored as a series of tiny dots called pixels.
18. Exposure- is the unit of measurement for the total amount of light
permitted to reach the electronic sensor during the process of taking
a photograph.
19. Watermarking- , is a more or less visible information in the form of
a text or some other photo/image that ha been added to the
original photo.
20. Optical zoom- Changing the focal length of a camera by adjusting
the physical zoom lens.
21. Digital zoom- s a method of decreasing the apparent angle of view
of a digital photographic or video image.
22. Bracketing- is the general technique of taking several shots of the
same subject using different camera settings.
23. Light meter- an instrument for measuring the intensity of light, used
chiefly to show the correct exposure when taking a photograph.
24. Image stabilization
25. Noise- is random variation of brightness or color information in
images, and is usually an aspect of electronic noise.
26. Lag time- shutter lag is the delay between triggering the shutter
and when the photograph is actually recorded
27. Hot shoe- is a mounting point on the top of a camera to attach
a flash unit and other compatible accessories.
28. Fisheye- lens is an ultra wide-angle lens that produces strong
visual distortion intended to create a wide panoramic or
hemispherical image
29. Macro- s about photographing objects that are very close to the
lens, the film or the sensor.
30. Telephoto- a lens with a longer focal length than standard, giving a
narrow field of view and a magnified image.
31. Wide angle
32. DSLR- denoting or relating to a camera that combines the optics
and mechanisms of a single-lens reflex camera with a digital imaging
sensor, rather than photographic film
33. Dynamic range- the range of acceptable or possible volumes of
sound occurring in the course of a piece of music or a performance.
34. Digital negative- is an imaging specification that provides for long-
term storage of digital photographs generated in multiple
proprietary formats.
35. Exposure compensation- is used to alter exposure from the value
selected by the camera, making photographs brighter or darker.
