Unit 2: Photography
1. Aperture - device that controls the quantity of light that passes through the lens.
2. Card readers - input device that reads memory cards.
3. Close-up - framing technique that captures the head and shoulders of the subject.
4. Digital zoom - takes a portion of the image and enlarges it electronically; the image quality is reduced since digital zoom enlarges the same set of pixels without adding detail.
5. Extreme close-up - a framing technique that cuts off top of head and chin of subject.
6. Flash - a device used in photography producing a flash of artificial light.
7. Image stabilization - vibration reduction and anti shake.
8. Internal memory - built-in memory.
9. LCD screens - allows user to see what the image will look like.
10. Long shot - a framing technique used to capture the environment and full body of subject.
11. Macro zoom - allows you to take extreme close-ups.
12. Megapixel - one million pixels; describes the size of the images captured by a camera.
13. Memory card - removable storage device used in digital cameras (such as SD cards, compact flash cards).
14. Mid shot - a framing technique that captures subjects from the waist up.
15. Mode dial - used to change camera functions.
16. Preview mode - used to review images taken.
17. Optical zoom - physically increases the length of the lens, essentially creating a magnifying glass; produces a higher-quality image.
18. RAW - a camera file format that acts like a negative, allowing you to make significant changes to the original image.
19. Resolution - the quality or sharpness of an image, usually measured in pixels per inch; the more pixels, the higher the resolution.
20. Rule of thirds - divides the frame into 9 sections, points of interest should occur at 1/3 or 2/3.
21. Shutter speed - the amount of time that the shutter is open.
22. Tripod - a three-legged object used as support for a camera.
23. Universal Serial Bus Cable - used to transfer images from a camera to a computer.
24. White balance - a feature on a digital camera used to accurately balance color.
