Digital camera and photography terms
Glossary
Non-technical explanation of common digital photography termsBarrel distortion:
Image distortion produced when the position of the camera lens is at its widest angle. Lines you expect to appear perpendicular are not. It is most noticeable when you have a straight edge near the side of the frame, such as when taking a wide angle shot of a building. Barrel distortion causes the edges of an image to look curved or at a skewed angle. Most barrel distortion can be corrected using image editing software.Bracketing:
Take several shots of the same scene at different exposure settings to help ensure getting at least one well-exposed photo; bracket in difficult lighting situations. Some digital cameras have automatic bracketing (see exposure compensation).
