Liquid crystal display (LCD) - is a thin, flat display device made up of any number of color or monochrome pixels arrayed in front of a light source or reflector.
Stock photography - consists of existing photographs that can be used to save valuable time and stay on budget.
Bracketing - is the general technique of taking several shots of the same subject using different camera settings.
Autobracketing - is automatic bracketing by using a setting on the camera to take several bracketed shots (in contrast to the photographer altering the settings by hand between each shot).
Exposure bracketing - the photographer chooses to take one picture at a given exposure, one or two brighter, and one or two darker, in order to select the most satisfactory image.
Focus bracketing - is useful in situations with limited depth of field, such as macro photography, where one may want to make a series of exposures with different positions of the focal plane and then choose the one in which the largest portion of the subject is in focus, or combine the in-focus portions of multiple exposures digitally.
White balance bracketing - provides a way of dealing with mixed lighting by having the camera make several images with different white points for one exposure taken, often ranging from blueish images to reddish images.
Flash bracketing - is a technique of working with electronic flash, when the amount of light provided by the flash is varied in a bracketed series in order to find the most pleasing combination of ambient light and fill flash.
