How do you make motion frozen?
Shoot at fast shutter speed (higher than 1/60)
How do you make motion blurred?

How do you take a panning picture?
Move camera during exposure at the same speed as subject
What is time exposure
When shutter remains open for more than one second
What is aperture
Opening in the lens through which light passes
3 ways to control depth of field

What is LCD
(Liquid crystel display) form of viewing photos, gives immediate composing and proofing capabilities
What is a JPEG?
