Hot shoeA hot shoe is a mounting point on the top of a camera to attach a flash unit and other compatible accessories. It takes the form of an angled metal bracket surrounding a metal contact point which completes an electrical connection between camera and accessory for standard, brand-independent flash synchronization. The hot shoe is a development of the standardised "accessory shoe", with no flash contacts, formerly fitted to cameras to hold accessories such as a rangefinder, or flash connected by a cable.
Light meterA light meter is a device used to measure the amount of light. In photography, a light meter (more correctly an exposure meter) is used to determine the proper exposure for a photograph. The meter will include either a digital or analog calculator which displays the correct shutter speed and f-number for optimum exposure, given a certain lighting situation and film speed. Similarly, exposure meters are also used in the fields of cinematography and scenic design, in order to determine the optimum light level for a scene.

Infrared photographyTop: tree photographed in the near infrared range. Bottom: same tree in the visible part of the spectrum. In infrared photography, the film or used is sensitive to infrared light. The part of the spectrum used is referred to as near-infrared to distinguish it from far-infrared, which is the domain of thermal imaging. Wavelengths used for photography range from about 700 nm to about 900 nm.
ExpeedThe Nikon Expeed /video processors (often styled EXPEED) are media processors for Nikon's digital cameras. They perform a large number of tasks: Bayer filtering, demosaicing, corrections/dark-frame subtraction, reduction, image sharpening, , gamma correction, image enhancement/Active D-Lighting, colorspace conversion, chroma subsampling, framerate conversion, /chromatic aberration correction, /JPEG encoding, video compression, display/video interface driving, , face detection, audio processing/compression/encoding and computer data storage/data transmission.
