Buying a Camera for Christmas? Clarify the Camera "Lingo"

Over the last several weeks I've had a handful of people asking me questions about camera terminology as they look to purchase a gift for Christmas.What is does this mean? What does that mean?  As the holidays approach, I thought I'd post a quick diagram that covers some of the basic terminology to help out those trying to make their way through the lingo.

Remember, after the wrapping paper is removed and the learning begins, don't forget to direct your new photographer to my blog.  Starting from the oldest posts to the newest, it will provide an excellent educational resource to help that special someone get the most from their new toy.

Happy Holidays.
