White balance

To the human eye, the light from a white incandescent light globe or a fluorescent tube does not appear to differ particularly from sunlight. In fact, however, they are a quite different in color from the light of the sun. Without some adjustment, shots taken under an incandescent light globe have an orange cast, while shots taken under fluorescent lights have a blue or green cast. There is a range of methods for correcting the color casts caused by different light sources, but on digital cameras a white subject is used as a reference. For this reason, the function is referred to as “white balance”.

Zoom lens

This is a lens in which the photography scale can be changed gradually. In a zoom lens, the photography scale is varied by gradually changing the focal length.

Zooming

This refers to the gradual changing of the photography scale. Gradual enlargement of the subject is called “zooming in”, while gradual reduction of the subject is called “zooming out”.
