Pan, Tilt, Zoom
Pan & Tilting - For these shots the camera rotates in a horizontal (panning) or vertical (tilting) plane.
Panning is used to follow a moving object or character or also to show more than can fit into a single frame, such as panning across a landscape.
Zoom - A zoom lens has a variable focal length and so then the camera 'moves' can be made without actually moving the camera, a zoom changes the angle of display. Amateurs love the zoom and can create some very interesting motion by combining zooms and rapid pans.

Iris (Exposure)
The Iris is an adjustable opening which controls the amount of light that comes through the lens (the exposure)
The video camera Iris works in the same way a still camera Iris does, as you open the Iris, more light comes in and the photograph appears brighter. The difference is that when your using a video camera the photograph in the viewfinder changes brightness as the iris is adjusted.

White balance
White balance (WB) is the process of removing unrealistic colour casts, so that the objects which appear white in person are rendered white in your photograph. Camera white balance has to take into account the 'colour temperature' of a light source, which refers to the relative warmth or coolness of white light.
Shutter
A shutter is a device that allows light to pass for a determined period of time, for the purpose of exposing photographic film or a light-sensitive electronic sensor to light to capture a permanent image of a scene. A shutter can also be used to allow pulses of light to pass outwards.
Audio
Audio is the video makers term for sound. And audio track is used in video production which means soundtrack.
