Glossary
Parallax: Changes in the apparent position and orientation of a subject when viewed from different angles.
Smear: A phenomenon specifi c to CCDs which causes white streaks to appear when very bright light sources, such as the sun or refl ected sunlight, appear in the frame.
White balance: The human brain automatically adapts to changes in the color of light, with the result that objects that appear white under one light source still appear white when the color of the light source changes. Digital cameras can mimic this adjustment by processing images according to the color of the light source. This process is known as “white balance.”
