| Term | Definition |
|---|---|
| Omni-directional | picks up sound equally from all directions; ideal for ambient noise, group conferences, when sound source moves |
| Bi-directional | picks up sound equally from the front and back while rejecting audio from the sides; ideal for interviews, podcasts, duet recordings |
| Cardioid | shaped like a heart; sensitive to sounds coming from the front and reduces pickup from the sides and rear, making it ideal for isolating vocals, instruments, and reducing background noise in live and studio settings |
| Super-Cardioid | superior side rejection of noise as compared to standard cardioid mics, making it ideal for isolating sound sources in noisy environments |
| Hyper-Cardioid | superior side rejection of noise as compared to standard cardioid mics and picks up some from directly behind the mic |
| Shotgun | designed to isolate audio sources by focusing on sounds directly in front of it while rejecting side noise |
| XLR Connector | Male connects to mixer or powered speaker (output; Female connects to microphone (input); audio cables |
| Cleaning Lens | Gently sweep dust from lens; Use finger to gently rub the lens with small circular motions |
| Wide Angle Lens | has short focal length that provides a broad field of view, allowing photographers to capture more of a scene in a single frame; ideal for landscape, interior and architectural photography |
| Telephoto Lens | long-focus camera lens that magnifies distant subjects, making them appear closer and larger, ideal for wildlife sports, and portraits by compressing perspective |
| Zoom Lens | allows you to adjust focal length without changing lenses |
| Higher f-stop number | a smaller opening in the aperture (less light, more in focus) |
| Lower f-stop number | a larger opening in the aperture (more light, blurry background) |
| GAIN | amplifies the signal from the image sensor to brighten an image (ISO); more gain = more grain in the image |
| Shutter Speed | 1/48; The duration a camera’s shutter remains open to expose the sensor to light, measured in seconds or fractions of a second |
| Dolly | move forward |
| Pedestal | move up and down |
| Truck | move side to side (the whole camera) |
| Pan | camera is locked in place, but looks from side to side |
| Tilt | camera looks up and down |
| Roll | whole camera turns sideways |
| Canted/Dutch Angle | tilted angle |
| Zebra Stripes | black and white stripes will appear over areas that are over exposed |
| Neutral Density Filters (ND) | ND filter settings are controlled on the left side of the lens; Some ND filtering is usually required outdoors; A flashing alert on the camera screen will tell you what setting is recommended |
| Number of Settings File Adjustments | 25 |
