Photography Terms and Deï¬ nitions T erms Deï¬ nitions auto exposure bracketing (AEB) A simple technique professional photogr aphers 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 differ ent exposure for each fr ame. auto focus (AF) Auto focus refers to a camer a lensâ ability to adjust its conï¬ guration in order to focus properly on a subject r egardless of whether it is near or far from the camer a. Auto focus lenses generally provide v astly superior image quality than do their ï¬ xed focus cousins since they do not have to r ely on their depth of ï¬ eld. Also known as: â AFâ , âauto-focusâ album An end-user created object that is used to logically group data objects according to some user-deï¬ ned criteria. An album may or may not be a physical folder in a ï¬ le system. 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 r atio.
ix 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 lea ve the camera set to auto white balance all the time. Charge Coupled Device (CCD) A type of silicon integrated circuit used to con vert light into an electronic signal. compression The process of encoding information using fewer bits cf . image compression, sound ï¬ le compression Digital Print Order Format (DPOF) A standardized ASCII ï¬ le created in a digital camera and stored on removable media along with the image ï¬ les that indicate how many copies of which images should be printed. It also allows index prints, cropping, and text overlays to be speciï¬ ed. digital still camera (DSC) A camera incorpor ating an image sensor which outputs a digital signal representing a still picture, or records a digital signal representing a still picture on a remov able medium, such as a memory card or magnetic disk. dynamic range cf . ISO DSC dynamic range, colour gamut, luminance ratio Exif/JPEG A compressed ï¬ le format for digital cameras in which the images are compressed using the baseline JPEG standard, described in ISO 12234-2, and metadata and thumbnail images are stored using TIFF tags within an application segment at the beginning of the JPEG ï¬ le. exposure index A numerical value that is inv ersely proportional to the exposure provided to an image sensor to obtain an image. Images obtained from a camera using a r ange of exposure index values will normally provide a range of image quality lev els. ISO speed A numerical value calculated from the exposur e provided at the focal plane of an electronic camer a to produce speciï¬ ed camer a output signal characteristics using the methods described in the referenced standard. The ISO speed should correlate with the highest exposure index value that pro vides peak image quality for normal scenes.
