A simple technique professional photographers use to ensure they properly

auto exposure bracketing

expose their pictures, especially in challenging lighting situations. When AEB

(AEB)

is selected, the camera automatically takes three or more shots with a different

 

exposure for each frame.

 

 

 

Autofocus refers to a camera lens’ ability to adjust its configuration in order

 

to focus properly on a subject regardless of whether it is near or far from the

autofocus (AF)

camera. Autofocus lenses generally provide vastly superior image quality than

 

do their fixed focus cousins since they do not have to rely on their depth of

 

field. Also known as: “AF”, “auto-focus”

 

 

 

An end-user created object that is used to logically group data objects

album

according to some user-defined criteria. An album may or may not be a

 

physical folder in a filesystem.

 

 

Analog to Digital

A circuit that converts an analog signal, having a continuously varying

Converter (A/D or ADC)

amplitude, to a digitally quantized representation using binary output signals.

 

 

aspect ratio

cf. image aspect ratio, pixel aspect ratio.

 

 

 

With auto white balance, the camera attempts to determine the color

auto white balance (AWB)

temperature of the light and automatically adjust for that color temperature.

 

Many people just leave the camera set to auto white balance all the time.

 

 

Charge Coupled Device

A type of silicon integrated circuit used to convert light into an electronic signal.

(CCD)

 

 

 

compression

cf. image compression, sound file compression

 

 

connection

A transport-provided logical or physical persistent mechanism for transferring

data between devices.

 

 

 

 

A standardized ASCII file created in a digital camera and stored on removable

Digital Print Order Format

media along with the image files that indicate how many copies of which

(DPOF)

images should be printed. It also allows index prints, cropping, and text

 

overlays to be specified.
