Placement of colors, light and dark masses, or large and small objects in a picture to create harmony and equilibrium
D

The clarity of detail in a photograph
S
Soft Lighting:
Lighting that is low or moderate in contrast, such as on an overcast day.
C
Camera Angles:
Various positions of the camera (high, medium, or low; and left, right, or straight on) with respect to the subject, each giving a different viewpoint or effect.
V
Video Noise:
More commonly called "luminence signal-to-noise ratio." This is a measure of how pure the video signal is (the monochrome or black-and-white portion of the picture). Tape with good luminence signal-to-noise ratios has a sharper, clearer image. This property has even greater importance on multiple generation copies.
L
Lens Speed:
The largest lens opening (smallest f-number) at which a lens can be set. A fast lens transmits more light and has a larger opening than a slow lens.

N
Negative:
The developed film that contains a reversed tone image of the original scene.
Z
Zoom Lens:
A lens in which you adjust the focal length over a wide range. In effect, this gives you lenses of many focal lengths
P
Program Exposure:
An exposure mode on an automatic or autofocus camera that automatically sets both the aperture and the shutter speed for proper exposure.
