Aperture

The aperture controls the amount of light that reaches the camera’s sensor.

Bluetooth

This feature allows you to exchange files with other devices.

Camera shake (Blur)

If the camera is moved while the shutter is open, the entire image may appear blurred. This occurs more often when the shutter speed is slow. Prevent camera shake by raising the sensitivity, using the flash, or using a faster shutter speed. Alternatively, use a tripod or the OIS function to stabilize the camera.

Cloud Computing

Cloud computing is a technology that allows you to store data on remote servers and to use it from a device with Internet access.

Color space

The range of colors that the camera can identify and reproduce in photos.

Color temperature

Color Temperature is a measurement in degrees Kelvin (K) that indicates the hue of a specific type of light source. As the color temperature increases, the color of the light source has a more bluish quality. As the color temperature decreases, the color of the light source has a more reddish quality. At 5,500 degrees Kelvin, the color of the light source is similar to the sun at midday.

Composition

Composition in photography means arranging objects in a photo. Usually, abiding by the rule of thirds leads to a good composition.

DCF (Design rule for Camera File system)
