F/- see f/ stop
File Format- the form in which digital images are stored and recorded, e.g., JPEG, RAW, TIFF, etc.
Flare- unwanted light streaks or rings that appear in the viewfinder, on the recorded image, or both.
Focal Plane- the plane on which a lens forms a sharp image. Also, it may be the film plane or sensor plane.
Focus- an optimal sharpness or image clarity that occurs when a lens creates a sharp image by covering light rays to specific points at the focal plane.
Frame- the complete image-exposure area.
F/stop- the size of the aperture or diaphragm opening of the lens, also referred to as f/ number or stop.

vocabulary 1
AE - see automatic exposure
AF - see automatic focus
Aperture - the opening in the lens that allows light to enter the camera. Aperture is usually described as an f/number. The higher the f/number, the smaller the aperture; and the lower the f/number, the larger the aperture.
Aperture Priority - A type of automatic exposure in which you manually select the aperture and the camera automatically selects the shutter speed.
Artificial light - Usually refers to any light source that doesn't exist in nature, such as incandescent, fluorescent, and other other manufactured lighting.
Available light - the amount of illumination at a given location that applies to natural an artificial light sources but not that those supply specifically for photography. It is also called existing light or ambient light.
Blacklight - light that projects toward the camera from behind the subject
Bit/Byte - binary digit. This is the basic unit of binary computation/ eight bits.
Bounce Light - light that reflects off of another surface before illuminating the subject
Bulb - a camera setting that allows the shutter to stay open as long as the shutter release is depressed
Card reader - device that connects to your computer and enables quick and easy download of images from memory card to computer
Close-up - a general term used to describe an image created by closely focusing on a subject. Often involves the use of special lenses or extension tubes. Also an automated exposure setting that automatically selects a large aperture.
Compression - method reducing file size through removal of redundant data, as with the JPEG file format
Contrast - the difference between two or more tones in terms of lluminance, destiny, or darkness
CPU - central processing unit. This is the "brain" of the computer or the lens
Cropping - the process of extracting a portion of the image area. If this portion of the image is enlarged, resolution is subsequently lowered.
Daylight - a white balance setting that renders accurate color when shooting in mid-day sunlight
Depth of Field - the image space in the front of and behind the plane of focus that appears acceptably sharp in the photograph
Download - the transfer of date to one device to another, such as from camera to computer or computer to printer
DPI - dots per inch, referring to printer resolution
Exposure - when light enters the camera and reacts with the sensitized medium. The term can also refer to the amount of light that strikes the light sensitive medium.
