|---|---|
| Aperture Priority (AV) | An exposure mode in which the photographers sets the f/stop and the camera adjusts the shutter speed for a correct exposure. |
| ISO | A system of numbers determined by the International Organization for Standardization that indicates the relative speeds of films. ISO has also been adopted for use with digital cameras to indicate a change in the image sensor's effective sensitivity. |
| Resolution | In digital photography, the number of pixels that a camera or scanner can capture. In editing, the number of pixels per inch. |
| Shutter Priority (TV) | An exposure mode in which the photographer set the shutter speed and the camera determines the appropriate f/stop. |
| Manual (M) Exposure | An exposure (f/stop and shutter speed) set manually by the photographer. |
| Shutter Release | A button or trigger on the camera that opens the shutter and records the image. |
| LCD monitor | A viewing screen on a digital camera or computer monitor utilizing liquid crystal display technology to display photographic images. |
| Aperture (f/stop)00 | The size of the diameter in the lens that allows light to enter. |
| Shutter speed | Indicates the length of time that light reaches the film or sensor. Specific shutter speeds, which are variable with cameras, include 30, 15, 8, 4 and 2 seconds; 1 sec;, 1/2 sec., 1/4, 1/8, 1/15, 1/30, 1/60, 1/125, 1/250, 1/500, 1/1000, 1/2000, 1/4000 |
| Bracketing | Making a series of exposures of the same image at different f/stops and shutter speed settings in addition to the one suggested by the light meter. Changing either the f/stop or shutter speed can do this. |
| Point and Shoot Camera | Automatic compact camera. All the photographer does is load a memory card, turn on the camera, point it toward the main subject and press the shutter release button to record the image. |
| Single-Lens Reflex (SLR)Camera | A camera that enables the photographer to see the subject in the viewfinder through the same lens that presents the image to the film or sensor. |
| Drive Modes | Camera systems that takes pictures either in single drive mode, or continuous. |
| Megapixel | A million pixels. A measurement of the resolution of a digital camera's sensor; a 6-megapixel camera has a 6-megapixel sensor. |
| Viewfinder | The device in a camera through which the photographer looks to focus and frame the image. |
| Hot Shoe | A mount on the camera for shoe-mount flash units. The hot shoe makes an electrical connection between the flash and the camera's flash synchronization and shutter system. |
| Exposure | The amount of light reaching the film or sensor. The camera's shutter speed and f/stop settings control the exposure. |
