Exposure
The recorded image on either light-sensitive film or digital media. Also refers to the number of exposures remaining, depending on remaining roll length (film) or memory card capacity (digital).

An exposure can be referred to as a "correct exposure" and also a "creative exposure." Both are the result of setting the desired ASI combination.
