A Dictionary of Key Camera Terms

[Karen-Louise44]

Hi guys,

I am new to all of this and the thing that scares me is all the lingo that is used? I have no idea what half of it means so it's hard for me to use the camera. I have started working my way through the booklet that came with the camera to teach me how to use it but when it comes to touching up pictures and so on I am lost?

Does anybody know of a good web site or book that will give me this information? That will let me know what key terms mean.

Thanks so much

Karen xx

Well I was going to say there is a glossary feature here, but luckily I checked it first as its currently closed for maintenance :shrug:

However, this wiki page is a good one and it contains links to further relevant pages.

A quick google search using 'photographic glossary' reveals no shortage of such information, so google away
