(International Organization for Standard)
Impacts how sensitive the sensor is |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the length of time the sensor is exposed to light |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the opening on the camera that allows light to hit the sensor |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| allowing too much light to hit the sensor (making the image too bright) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| allowing too little light to hit the sensor (making the image too dark) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the size of the opening that allows light to hit the sensor |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the measurement of aperture (it's value is inversely related to the size of the aperture) |

Definition
| the ratio of the lens focal length to the diameter of the aperture |

Term
|
Definition
| the arrangement of elements in an image |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the ratio of an image's width to height (for instance, a sheet of paper is 8.5x11 which is also 17x22 or 85x110) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| an image with vertical alignment - with height greater than width (goes up and down) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| an image with horizontal alignment - with width greater than height (goes side to side) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| lens with a long focal length - used to "zoom in" and magnify the subject |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| lens with a very short focal length - used to include more subjects in the frame |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| placing a subject in one of the imaginary lines that divide a picture into thirds (horizontally and vertically). Ideally, place subjects on the intersection of these lines. |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| using lines in the image to lead the eye throughout the image in a curved pattern to emphasize important subjects (and often creates the feeling of movement) |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| replicating identical (or very similar) elements on both sides of the image |
|
|
Term
| type of lens that creates distortion at the edges |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| type of lens that compresses the depth of field |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the angle measurement to which the amount of the scene is captured in the image (think of how peripheral vision is measured as an angle) - it is impacted by focal length and aperture |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the distance from the tip of the lens to the sensor |
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the perceived distance from subjects in the foreground to the background |
|
|
Term
| type of lens with long focal length |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| type of lens used in tight spaces |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
| type of lens that creates distortion on subjects near the edge of the frame |
|
Definition
|
|
Term
|
Definition
| the setting on the camera to help adjust the colors in the image depending upon the light source (occurs during capture - it impacts the sensor and is NOT a post-production feature). An example is adjusting to tungsten light (like in a gym) so that the image doesn't appear yellow. |
