Terms to know Field of view steps: XCU CU MS WS XWS Exposure: iris, aperture, f/stop Resolution: how much detail can be seen Focus- zoom all the way in to focus then frame the shot Gain – electronic amplification of the exposure. Introduces noise into image Image device – CCD or CMOS
Terms to know Aspect Ratio – 4x3 or 16x9 for HD Light sensitivity – how much light it takes o make a picture White balance – making sure the camera reflects true white in each kind of light ND filter – knocks down the exposure (like wearing sunglasses on a sunny day)
