Technical Photography terms 01

Aperture

• The Diameter of the entrance of the pupil of the lens through which light travels into the camera

• The Diameter of the entrance of the retina of the lens through which light travels into the camera

• Tells us the point of view and how much of the scene will be captured on camera.

• Length of time the (something) is open, exposing the camera sensor to light

• An abbreviation that, in Photography, refers to the amplification of sensor data after an image is taken

Focal Length

• The Diameter of the entrance of the pupil of the lens through which light travels into the camera

• The Diameter of the entrance of the retina of the lens through which light travels into the camera

• Tells us the point of view and how much of the scene will be captured on camera.

• Length of time the (something shutter) is open, exposing the camera sensor to light

• An abbreviation that, in Photography, refers to the amplification of sensor data after an image is taken

Shutter Speed

• The Diameter of the entrance of the pupil of the lens through which light travels into the camera

• Length of time the ISO is open, exposing the camera sensor to light

• Tells us the point of view and how much of the scene will be captured on camera.

• Length of time the (something) is open, exposing the camera sensor to light

• An abbreviation that, in Photography, refers to the amplification of sensor data after an image is taken

ISO

• The Diameter of the entrance of the pupil of the lens through which light travels into the camera

• The Diameter of the entrance of the retina of the lens through which light travels into the camera

• Tells us the point of view and how much of the scene will be captured on camera.

• Length of time the (something) is open, exposing the camera sensor to light

• An abbreviation that, in Photography, refers to the amplification of sensor data after an image is taken

RAW Image Mode

• Read All Work Imaging Mode

• Data that is stripped right from the sensor and stored in a lossless, editable file

• Tells us the point of view and how much of the scene will be captured on camera.

• Files are processed in-camera, with pre-applied sharpening, contrast, etc Presets

• An abbreviation that, in Photography, refers to the amplification of sensor data after an image is taken

JPEG Image Mode

• Read All Work Imaging Mode

• Data that is stripped right from the sensor and stored in a lossless, editable file

• Tells us the point of view and how much of the scene will be captured on camera.

• An abbreviation that, in Photography, refers to the amplification of sensor data after an image is taken

• Files are processed in-camera, with pre-applied sharpening, contrast, etc Presets

Auto Shooting Mode

• The camera chooses ISO, aperture and guesses at shutter speed based on the internal meter

• The camera chooses ISO, and shutter speed based on the internal meter

• The camera chooses ISO, aperture and shutter speed based on the internal meter

• Files are processed in-camera, with pre-applied sharpening, contrast, etc Presets

• Files are processed in-camera, with pre-applied sharpening, contrast, etc Presets

Shutter Priority Mode

• Read All Work Imaging Mode

• Data that is stripped right from the sensor and stored in a lossless, editable file

• The camera chooses ISO, aperture and shutter speed based on the internal meter

• The camera chooses aperture based on a given shutter speed

• Files are processed in-camera, with pre-applied sharpening, contrast, etc Presets

Aperture Priority Mode

• The camera chooses shutter speed based on a given aperture

• Shutter speed and aperture can both be manipulated independently

• The camera chooses ISO, aperture and shutter speed based on the internal meter

• The camera chooses aperture based on a given shutter speed

• Shutter speed and aperture can both be manipulated independently, You are going to learn how to do that

Manual Mode

• The camera chooses shutter speed based on a given aperture

• Shutter speed and aperture can both be manipulated independently

• The camera chooses ISO, aperture and shutter speed based on the internal meter

• The camera chooses aperture based on a given shutter speed

• Shutter speed and aperture can both be manipulated independently, You must set IOS
