14. The weight of a space a person/object is moving into






15. A format associated with older SD cameras/analog systems where there are two field patterns (odd and even) that make up the whole image (the lines that flip out)






16. The _______ the focal length - the more light is pulled in and the wider the image - resulting in a wide-angle image






17. Intensity of color






18. In Europe - AC power with a frequency of ___Hz dictates that 50 interlaced PAL video fields will be produced per second--or 25 frames






19. Occurs when objects are placed at the center of the frame or arranged on opposite lines of thirds






20. This gathers (or bends) light into its barrel and transports it through several pieces of glass (or elements) to the sensor
