X-sync
X-sync refers to the synchronization of the flash with the camera’s shutter. It ensures that the flash fires at the correct moment during the exposure.
XMP
XMP stands for Extensible Metadata Platform, which is a file format used to store metadata information about images. It allows for the inclusion of additional data, such as keywords, descriptions, and copyright information.
XLR
XLR is a type of connector commonly used in professional audio equipment, including microphones and audio recorders. It can be used in photography when recording sound for videos or interviews.
Xenon flash
A type of flash technology that uses xenon gas to produce a bright and intense burst of light for illuminating a subject in low-light conditions.
X-process
X-process, short for “cross-process,” refers to a technique in film photography where color negative film is processed using chemicals intended for color slide film. This produces unique and often unpredictable color shifts and contrasts.
X-axis
In photography, the x-axis refers to the horizontal axis that runs from left to right in an image. It is used to describe positioning, composition, and movement within the frame.
XGA
XGA stands for Extended Graphics Array, which is a display resolution commonly used in early digital cameras and computer monitors. It has a resolution of 1024×768 pixels.
X-svv3ync speed
X-sync speed is the maximum shutter speed at which the camera can synchronize with a flash unit to ensure proper exposure. It is typically denoted as a fraction of a second, such as 1/250th or 1/200th.
X-ray photography
X-ray photography is a specialized field that involves capturing images using X-rays to visualize the internal structures of objects or subjects, commonly used in medical and scientific imaging.
Xenon Flash
A type of flash that uses xenon gas to produce a powerful burst of light. Common in camera flashes, studio strobes, and some old flash units.
XQD Card
A high-speed memory card format used in professional cameras (like some Nikon models). It offers fast write speeds, great for 4K video and burst photography.
