Shutter Definitions
1. Shutter - a photographic device that administers the exposure by limiting the time over which light is admitted
2. Shutter Speeds - shutter speed is a common term used to discuss exposure time, the effective length of time a camera's shutter is open.[1] The total exposure is proportional to this exposure time, or duration of light reaching the film or image sensor.
3. Shutter Priority- refers to a setting on some cameras that allows the user to choose a specific shutter speed while the camera adjusts the aperture to ensure correct exposure.
4. Exposure- the total amount of light allowed to fall on the sensor during the taking of a photograph
5. Bulb- is a shutter speed setting on an adjustable camera that allows for long exposure times under the direct control of the photographer.
6. Cable Release- same as bulb
7. Tripod- a word generally used to refer to a three-legged object, generally one used as a platform of some sort, and comes from the Greek tripous, meaning "three feet"
8. Light Meter- a device used to measure the amount of light.
9. Bracketing- the general technique of taking several shots of the same subject using different or the same camera settings.
10. Hot Shoe- a mounting point on the top of a camera to attach a flash unit.
