Pixels- a minute area of an illumination on a display screen, from which an image is made.

Image Resolution- the detail an image holds.

Megabyte- a unit of computer storage.

Megapixels- a unit of graphic resolution.

Gigabyte- a unit of information equal to one billion bytes.

JPEG- a format for compressing image files.

Raw- image file contains minimally processed data.

Tiff- computer file format for storing raster graphics images.

Png- an image file stored in PNG format.

White Balance- process to remove unrealistic color casts.

Histogram- a diagram made out of rectangles whose area is proportional to the frequency of
the variable.

Aperture- an opening through which light travels.

Shutter speed- length of time in which the film or digits sensor is exposed to light.

Depth of Field- the distance between the nearest object and the furthest ones.

Aperture Priority- the only thing that can be manually changed is the aperture.

Shutter Priority- the only setting that can be changed manually is the shutter speed.

Bitmap- imágenes stores as a series of pixels.

Exposure- the total amount of light permitted to reach the digital sensor while taking a

DSLR- a digital still camera that uses a single lens reflex mechanism.

Dynamic Range- a measure of the range of light intensities from shadows to the highlights.

Digital negative- imaging specification that provides for long-term storage of digital
photographs generated in multiple proprietary formats.

Exposure compensation- used to alter the exposure from the one that was selected by the
camera, making the pictures brighter or darker.
