What are some abbreviations used in the photography industry?

Question

For example, DCIM is short for Digital Camera Images.

When typing the name of something into a search engine it is useful for the computer to know that the strings of text DCIM and DIGITAL CAMERA IMAGES both represent the same thing.

What other examples are there of standard initialisms, acronyms, or abbreviations used in the photography industry?

Lenses don't account for all the acronyms, but they are most of them. Closed as a dupe of the lens abbr question, with CW answer also pointing to WP's list of abbreviations. — scottbb, Oct 27 '23 at 04:06

For lenses only, see: What do all those cryptic number and letter codes in a lens name mean?
For photography (both brand-specific, and non-brand) in general, see Wikipedia's List of abbreviations in photography.
