WETTING AGENT - A chemical solution that lowers surface tension and causes film to dry faster and more evenly, thereby reducing the risk of water spots on the film.

WHITE BALANCE - A digital camera analyzes a scene using its white balance mode to determine areas that should be recorded as pure white. The camera adjusts the overall scene's color balance so that the areas meant to be reproduced as white in the picture will be white, thereby also adjusting all the other colors in the scene using the same color shift values.

WIDE-ANGLE LENS - A lens with an angle of view that is wider than that of a normal lens, or that of the human eye. A wide-angle lens has a focal length which is less than the diagonal of the film format.
