Photography Terms and Denitions
Terms Denitions
auto exposure bracketing
(AEB)
A simple technique professional photographers use to ensure 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.
autofocus (AF)
Autofocus refers to a camera lens’ ability to adjust its conguration in order
to focus properly on a subject regardless of whether it is near or far from the
camera. Autofocus lenses generally provide vastly superior image quality than
do their xed focus cousins since they do not have to rely on their depth of
eld. Also known as: “AF”, “auto-focus”
album
An end-user created object that is used to logically group data objects
according to some user-dened criteria. An album may or may not be a
physical folder in a lesystem.
Analog to Digital
Converter (A/D or ADC)
A circuit that converts an analog signal, having a continuously varying
amplitude, to a digitally quantized representation using binary output signals.
aspect ratio cf. image aspect ratio, pixel aspect ratio.
auto white balance (AWB)
With auto white balance, the camera attempts to determine the 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 cf. image compression, sound le compression
connection
A transport-provided logical or physical persistent mechanism for transferring
data between devices.
Digital Print Order Format
(DPOF)
A standardized ASCII le created in a digital camera and stored on removable
media along with the image les that indicate how many copies of which
images should be printed. It also allows index prints, cropping, and text
overlays to be specied.
