produce an image that is approximately the same with the view angle of the human eye which is 45 degrees.

A

Standard or Normal Lens

24
Q

Standard or Normal Lens

A

Short – focal – lens or Wide Angle Lens

25
Q
  • It enables photographing a widely extended scene from a close proximity or within a confined area.
A

Short – focal – lens or Wide Angle Lens

26
Q
  • A lens with extreme wide angle.
A

Fish Eye Lens

27
Q
  • Lens with longer focal length that constrict the field of view and decrease the depth of field while greatly magnifying the image.
A

Long or Telephoto Lens or Narrow Angle

28
Q
  • A special type of camera lens with variable focal length which can be adjusted continuously by the movement of the variable focus lens.
A

Zoom Lens

29
Q
  • This lens allows quick adjustment to give a wider or narrower field of vision but keeping the image in focus.
A

Zoom Lens

30
Q
  • Allows the photographer to get close to the subject without the need of special close – up attachment.
A

Macro Lens

31
Q

This refers to the use of a macro lens or a special lens attachment when taking close – up shots.

A

Close – up Shots

32
Q

This refers to simple close – up attachment fitting between the lens and the SLR camera body.

A

Extension Ring

33
Q
  • This refers to lens that allows photography of objects that is very tall, without the problem of converging verticals; this occurs when the side of the subjects taper toward the top of the picture.
A

Shift of Perspective Control Lens

34
Q

The lens is moved upward but kept parallel to the film

A

Shift

35
Q
  • The failure of light rays to focus properly after they pass through a lens or reflect from a mirror.
A

Aberration

36
Q
  • The minute variations in lenses and mirrors, and because different parts of the light spectrum are reflected or refracted by varying amounts.
A

Aberration

37
Q
  • The focusing at different points of light rays passing through different parts of spherical lens.
A

Spherical aberration

38
Q
  • This aberration occurs because light hitting the outer parts of the lens is bent more sharply and comes to a focus sooner than that passing through the middle.
A

Spherical aberration

39
Q
  • The failure of different colored light rays to focus after passing through a lens.
A

Chromatic aberration

40
Q
  • The focusing of light of different colors at different points resulting in a blurred image.
A

Chromatic aberration

41
Q
  • The inability of the lens to bring horizontal and vertical lines in the subject to the same plane of focus in the image.
A

Astigmatism

42
Q

occurs at the edge of the image; the image appears elliptical or cross-shaped because of an irregularity in the curvature of the lens.

A

Astigmatism

43
Q
  • It occurs when light falling obliquely on the lens and passing through different circular zones is brought to a focus at different distances from the film plane.
A

Coma

44
Q
  • A spot of light appears to have a tail, rather like a comet.
A

Coma

45
Q
  • The plane of sharpest focus becomes curved, not flat.
A

Curvature of Field

46
Q
  • It is caused by rays from the outer limits of the subject plane coming to focus nearer to the lens than the axial rays.
A

Curvature of Field

47
Q

causes the image of a straight line, at the edges of the field to bow in or out.

A

Distortion

48
Q

two types of Distortion

A

a. Pincushion distortion
b. Barrel distortion

49
Q
  • A result of double reflection from inner lens surfaces.
A

Flare or Optical Flare

50
Q
  • It exhibits self as a misty hazy or cloudy semi circular path of light.
A

Flare or Optical Flare

51
Q
  • Bright spot on the film caused by stray light from worn shiny parts of the lens such as the stops, shutter, lens mount or from inside the camera itself.
A

Mechanical Flare

52
Q
  • Most corrected lenses is coated with a substance which will reduce one type of flare (optical) and which will also increase the optic’s ability to transmit light, thus reducing light to loss.
A

Light Loss

53
Q
  • It can be reduced or eliminated by using the proper lens, shade places on the front of the lens or shield.
A

Stray Light
