DPOF (Digital Print Order Format)

A format for writing printing information, such as selected images
and number of prints, on a memory card. DPOF-compatible printers,
sometimes available at photo shops, can read the information from the
card for convenient printing.

EV (Exposure Value)

All the combinations of the camera’s shutter speed and lens aperture
that result in the same exposure.

EV Compensation

This feature allows you to quickly adjust the exposure value measured
by the camera, in limited increments, to improve the exposure of your
photos.

Exif (Exchangeable Image File Format)

A specification to define an image file format for digital cameras created
by the Japan Electronic Industries Development Association (JEIDA).

Color temperature

Color Temperature is a measurement in degrees Kelvin (K) that indicates
the hue of a specific type of light source. As the color temperature
increases, the color of the light source has a more bluish quality. As the
color temperature decreases, the color of the light source has a more
reddish quality. At 5,500 degrees Kelvin, the color of the light source is
similar to the sun at midday.

Composition

Composition in photography means arranging objects in a photo.
Usually, abiding by the rule of thirds leads to a good composition.

DCF (Design rule for Camera File system)

A specification to define a file format and file system for digital cameras
created by the Japan Electronics and Information Technology Industries
Association (JEITA).

Depth of field

The distance between the nearest and farthest points that can be
acceptably focused in a photograph. Depth of field varies with lens
aperture, focal length, and distance from the camera to the subject.
Selecting a smaller aperture, for example, will increase the depth of field
and blur the background of a composition.
