Glossary

Here are some terms you might encounter while reading this book or working with your Nikon Coolpix P7100.

additive primary colors The red, green, and blue hues that are used alone or in combinations to create all other colors that you capture with a digital camera, view on a computer monitor, or work with in an image-editing program, such as Photoshop.

ambient lighting Diffuse, non-directional lighting that doesn’t appear to come from a specific source but, rather, bounces off walls, ceilings, and other objects in the scene when a picture is taken.

analog/digital converter The EXPEED C2 electronics built into the P7100 that convert the analog information captured by the camera’s sensor into digital bits that can be stored as an image bitmap.
