AUTO EXPOSUREThe camera sets both an appropriate aperture and shutter speed for current lighting conditions. Auto Focus

APERTURE PRIORITYThe user can manually set the aperture while the camera selects a suitable shutter speed for correct exposure. Aperture Priority is useful for many photographic situations such as determining the depth of field for landscape photography. Barrel Distortion

BracketingTaking multiple shots of the same scene with different exposure settings. Some cameras have an auto-bracketing option allowing 3 photographs to be taken at once with one image given more exposure than the standard image and one image given less for a darker image. Buffer

CMOSStands for Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor. With advances in technology the differences between CCD and CMOS sensors are now very minimal. CMOS sensors are a type of integrated circuit and convert light into electrons. See table above for CMOS & CCS sensor sizes. CompactFlash

Depth of fieldThe area within a photograph from the nearest subject to the furthest subject which is relatively sharp according to the photographer. Depth of field (DOF) can vary according to aperture selection, lens type and distance from the main subject. In general, larger apertures such as f2.8 will give less depth of field than smaller apertures such as f8 [..]
