White Balance

The light emitted by fluorescent tubes or incandescent light bulbs differs slightly in color. Without any
adjustment, the colors in shots taken under such light sources differ from the actual colors you see. For this
reason, a white subject is used as a reference to adjust the colors before shooting so that the resulting photo
shows the actual colors of the subject.

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".
