Four Important Controls in the Camera
1. Focusing Control
2. Focusing Ring
3. Aperture or Diaphragm Control
4. Shutter Speed Control
51
This refers to the object distance that is estimated or calculated to form sharp or clear images.
Focus
52
This refers to the adjustment or change of the distance between the focal plane and the length.
Focusing
53
* A large knurled ring around the barrel of this lens, when turned the lens will either move away or toward the camera body, depending upon the direction of rotation until ring cannot be turned further.
Focusing Ring
54
* At this stopping point, all distant objects are in focus regarding of difference in their distance
infinity focus
55
* Stamped on the surface around the focusing ring are series of number
distance scales
56
* These distances correspond to the distance from the camera to the subject; Use measuring device and actually measure the distance from the lens of the camera to the subject.
Scale Bed Type or Focusing Scale
57
* Whatever distance was measured will be the setting of the -
marker or pointer of focus.
58
* These are finely etched prisms which break up the image; they are brought together as you focus.
Micro Prism or Range Finder Type
59
This refers to two prisms that splits the image in half as you focus both halves re-joins to form a clear image.
Split image
60
This refers to usually to compact a camera that is using a fixed lens.
Co – incident image
61
* A ground glass is a matt glass. The whole of the image on this screen will progressively become sharp.
Ground Glass Type
62
* It is found at the back of the camera or in the case of modern, also coupled with the view finder.
* The point of focus is where the image is sharpest.
Ground Glass Type
63
* The distance between the nearest object and farthest object that appears to be focus when the lens is focus on infinity.
Depth of Field
64
Depth of Field is also called--
focus range or effective focus range
65
This refers to long lenses having less depth than short lenses. The shorter the focal length of lens, the greater the depth of field.
Focal Length of the Lens
66
This refers to the depth of field that is directly proportional to distance. A subject at a greater distance will have greater of field than close up subject.
Distance from the Camera to the Object
67
A wider aperture results in a shallow depth of field. It can use this to keep either the foreground or the background out of focus while maintaining the subject in focus.
Aperture Setting or F – step
68
* Captures a larger area in focus, often keeping everything in the image sharp and clear.
Deep Depth of Field
69
* Refers to a small area in focus. Often the subject is in focus, while the background is blurred.
Shallow Depth of Field
70
* The maximum permissible within which the film may be without exceeding the circle of confusion in order to produce the image sharp.
Depth of Focus/Focal Range
71
* This control is utilized by manipulating the ASA/ISO or DIN dial of the camera.
Film Speed Control
72
controlling the system of the rays of light that enters.
shutter and f/numbers
73
* Overlapping circle patches of light representing each patch of light on the subject.
Circle of Confusion
74
represents unsharp images, but the human eyes see them as acceptably sharp.
circle of confusion
75
this is the nearest distance at which a lens is focused with a given particular diaphragm opening which will give the maximum depth of field.
Hyperfocal Distance
76
the speed or light gathering power of lens equal to the duration of the focal length to the diameter of its lens pupil or the relative brightness of the image produced by the lens as compared with the brightness of the object
Relative Aperture
77
* The view of the subject subtended by two lines emerging the corners of the film extending to the center of the lens.
Angle of View
78
those little numbers engraved on the lens barrel like
f-numbers or f-stops
79
Each of this value represents one time the amount of light either more or less in quantity.

80
The flow of light into a camera can be controlled by
Aperture Size / Aperture Opening
81
Functions of the Aperture
* As a Controller of Light
* As a Controller of Depth Of Field
82
