Shutter speed

Shutter speed refers to the amount of time it takes to open and close the shutter, and it is an important factor in the brightness of a photo, as it controls the amount of light which passes through the aperture before it reaches the image sensor. A fast shutter speed allows less time to let light in and the photo becomes darker and more easily freezes subjects in motion.

sRGB (Standard RGB)

International standard of color space established by the IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission). This is defined from color space for PC monitors and is also used as the standard color space for Exif.

Vignetting

A reduction of an image’s brightness or saturation at the periphery (outer edges) compared to the center of the image. Vignetting can draw interest to subjects positioned in the center of an image.

White Balance (Color balance)

An adjustment of the intensities of colors (typically the primary colors red, green, and blue) in an image. The goal of adjusting the White Balance, or color balance, is to correctly render the colors in an image.

Wi-Fi

Wi-Fi is a technology that allows electronic devices to exchange data wirelessly over a network.

WPS (Wi-Fi Protected Setup)
