List of abbreviations in photography

During most of the 20th centuryphotographydepended

mainly upon the photochemical technology of silver

halide emulsions on glass plates or roll film.[1] Early in the

21st century this technology was displaced by the elec-

tronic technology ofdigital cameras. The development

of digital image sensors,microprocessors,memory cards,

miniaturised devices andimage editingsoftware enabled

these cameras to offer their users a much wider range of

operating options than was possible with the older silver

halide technology.[2][3] This has led to a proliferation of

newabbreviations, acronyms and initialisms. The com-monest of these are listed below. Some are used in re-

lated fields ofopticsandelectronicsbut many are specific

todigital photography.

1 Acronyms and initialisms that

are not brand-specific

2 Initialisms that are used mainly

by specific brands
