Hello,
One really stupid doubt, among all those acronyms, abreviations, DoF, DSLR and many others that I don't know, could one confirm me the meaning of C&C. Is it Comment and Critic?
Thank you =D

Re: C&C
Yes, or something like "Comments and Criticism". Unless you're a gamer, that would mean "Command and Conquer".
Just kidding. C&C I think, would mean - you want to solicit comments about your work. They may either compliment or criticize your work constructively. DOF - means Depth Of Field, while DSLR means - Digital Single Lens Reflex (pertaining to a camera). Hope this helps Jonathan.

Re: C&C
I speak English as my first language and C&C was pretty easy to figure out but, the others... DOF, DSLR, SOOC (Straight of out camera - this one took me a loooong time to figure out) were acronyms that I had to look up. "Camera speak" is kind of like another language - easy to pick up, though, if you hang around and just ask - like you did.

Re: C&C
I always loved the meaning of TWAIN (a computer printer interface), but I seem to have forgotten it...does anyone remember?

Re: C&C
Chris, It does not have an acronym for it. Though the unofficial meaning of TWAIN in relation to computer interface would be ""Technology Without An Interesting Name."

Re: C&C
One for the Mods (moderators).
Katy makes a good point that she speaks English and understands a lot of the acronyms used here.
Maybe we should have a thread of commonly used acronyms for those members whose first language is not English.

Re: C&C
Hello,
Thank you all!
Jiro, I knew what DoF and DSLR meant, but thanks anyway. My fault, I wrote that in a confused style.
Only now I'm start to vising a Brazilian forum, so I'm not used yet to Portuguese acronyms too at the moment.
