an image is composed.

Image Resolution: is the detail an image holds.

Megabyte: a unit of information equal to 220 bytes or, loosely, one million bytes.

Megapixel: a unit of graphic resolution equivalent to one million or (strictly)

1,048,576 (220) pixels.

Gigabyte: a unit of information equal to one billion (109) or, strictly, 230 bytes.

Jpeg: a format for compressing image files

Raw: (of food) uncooked.

Tiff: a petty quarrel, especially one between friends or lovers.

PNG: Portable Network Graphics. It was created at an opened format to replace the

White Balance: the color balance on a digital camera

Histogram: a diagram consisting of rectangles whose area is proportional to the

Aperture: an opening, hole, or gap.

Shutter Speed: the time for which a shutter is open at a given setting.

Depth of Field: the distance between the nearest and the furthest objects that give
an image judged to be in focus in a camera.

Aperture Priority: an exposure system used in some automatic cameras in which

the user selects the aperture and the appropriate shutter speed is controlled
automatically.

Shutter Priority: a system used in some automatic cameras in which the user
selects the shutter speed and the camera then sets the appropriate aperture.
Bitmap: a representation in which each item corresponds to one or more bits of
information, especially the information used to control the display of a computer

Exposure: the state of being exposed to contact with something.

Digital Zoom: is a method of decreasing the apparent angle of view of a digital

view and a magnified image.

Wide Angle: (of a lens) having a short focal length and hence a field covering a
wide angle.

DSLR: denoting or relating to a camera that combines the optics and mechanisms
of a single-lens reflex camera with a digital imaging sensor, rather than
photographic film.
Dynamic Range: the range of acceptable or possible volumes of sound occurring in the
course of a piece of music or a performance.

Digital Negative: is an imaging specification that provides for long-term storage

of digital photographs generated in multiple proprietary formats.

Exposure Compensation: is a technique for adjusting the exposure indicated by a

photographic exposure meter.
