Depth of field is the range of distance within the subject that is acceptably sharp. The depth of field varies depending on camera type, aperture and focusing distance, although print size and viewing distance can influence our perception of it. **Shutter Speed:** shutter speed is the amount of time that the camera film, or digital sensor is exposed to the light.
 * Depth of field: **

 **Noise:** Noise on a digital photo is determined to be any part of a digital image that was not existing in the original scene. It is likely to show as specks in the photograph, pale areas of white, or blotchy patches where there should be an uniform gradation of shade.

 Too Dark --Just Right -Too light
 * Histogram:** A graph that displays the lighting that was distributed in the picture. It tells the brightness of an image. The left side of the picture tells how many dark pixels that was captured in the picture while the right side explains the bright pixels that was captured.

**Burst Mode:** This is a mode that allows multiple snapshots to be taken in a single click of the shutter. 

**White Balance:** It is the way to “measure” the temperature of the light and “balance” out all the colors of the photo. This is a device on a camera that allows you to make a delay between pressing the shutter release and the shutter firing. It is most commonly used to allow the photo taker to take a picture of themselves. An example of this is when you take a family picture and you want everyone to be in the picture, you put the camera on self timer and then after pressing the shutter release you can get in the picture before the photo is taken. **
 * Self timer:

**Pixels:** A single point in a raster image. The pixel is the smallest addressable screen element.



**ISO (international standardization organization):** Determines how sensitive to image sensor is to light. The lower the ISO the slower the speed, and the higher the ISO number the faster the speed. For low ISO you will have a better quality picture, and a higher ISO you have a more grainy photo.



Auto Focus is the setting on the camera that allows to choose the distance and the picture, and the camera will focus the lends for you. You would choose this setting when you are taking a picture of a person from a distance. Manual focus is adjusting the focus of the lends by your own hand. You would choose manual focus when the object of the image is complex. You would take this picture when you want a close up such as a flower.  Auto Focus - Manual Focus

 * File Format:**

.tiff – Tagged Image File Format. a file format for storing images, including photographs and line art.

.jpeg – File format commonly used for image compression; Image file with that format

.raw – A raw image file contains minimally processed data from the image sensor of either a digital camera, image or motion picture film scanner.
