A simple technique professional photographers use to ensure

auto exposure bracketing (AEB)

they properly expose their pictures, especially in challenging

lighting situations. When AEB is selected, the camera

 

automatically takes three or more shots with a different

 

exposure for each frame.

 

 

 

Auto focus refers to a camera lens’ ability to adjust its

 

configuration in order to focus properly on a subject regardless

auto focus (AF)

of whether it is near or far from the camera. Auto focus 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”.

 

 

album

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

objects according to some user-defined criteria. An album may

 

or may not be a physical folder in a file system.

 

 

Analog to Digital Converter (A/D

A circuit that converts an analog signal, having a continuously

varying amplitude, to a digitally quantized representation using

or ADC)

binary output signals.

 

 

 

aspect ratio

cf. image aspect ratio, pixel aspect ratio.

 

 

 

With auto white balance, the camera attempts to determine the

auto white balance (AWB)

color 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 (CCD)

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

electronic signal.

 

 

 

compression

The process of encoding information using fewer bits cf. image

compression, sound file compression.

 

 

 

Digital Print Order Format

A standardized ASCII file created in a digital camera and stored

on removable media along with the image files that indicate how

(DPOF)

many copies of which images should be printed. It also allows

 

index prints, cropping, and text overlays to be specified.
