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 refers to a camera lens' ability to adjust its configuration 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 fixed focus cousins since they do not have to rely on their depth of
field. Also known as: "AF", "auto-focus"
An end-user created object that is used to logically group data objects
according to some user-defined criteria. An album may or may not be a
physical folder in a filesystem.
A circuit that converts an analog signal, having a continuously varying
amplitude, to a digitally quantized representation using binary output signals.
cf. image aspect ratio, pixel aspect ratio.
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.
A type of silicon integrated circuit used to convert light into an electronic signal.
cf. image compression, sound file compression
A transport-provided logical or physical persistent mechanism for transferring
data between devices.
A standardized ASCII file created in a digital camera and stored on removable
media along with the image files that indicate how many copies of which
images should be printed. It also allows index prints, cropping, and text
overlays to be specified.
