Q

It has a SHORTER focal length than the normal lens and as a result, it covers a picture angle 60° wider than normal lens. It enables photographing a widely extended scene from a close proximity or within a confined area.

Q

______ lens used in all fixed focus camera. Basically, it has a SHORT FOCAL LENGTH and GREATER DOF. It is used in __ photography.

A

Fixed Focus Lens - indoor sports photography

18
Q

What are the 2 special types of lens?

A

Macro Lens
Zoom Lens

19
Q

Macro Lens came from the Greek word __ meaning ___.

A

Macro- “enlarge”

20
Q

Designed with EXTENDED FOCUSING CAPABILITIES to shoot few inches from a subject.

A

Macro Lens

21
Q

Allows quick adjustment to give a WIDE or NARROW FOV.

It can be moved back and forth while other elements stay in place which gives the same effect as if the camera itself was moving towards or away from the subject.

The subject is close to the lens.

A

Zoom Lens

22
Q

These are lens defects or problems.

A

Optical Aberrations

23
Q

It is termed as without color or the inability to transmit light rays to spectrum of colors.

A

chromatic

24
Q

This is a defect that causes images to be blurred.

A

Astigmatism

25
Q

____ is the focusing at different points of rays passing through different parts of spherical lens.

Cause:
Result:

A

Spherical Aberration
Cause: light hitting the lens’ outer part is BENT MORE SHARPLY which FOCUSED SOONER
Result: Blurred Image

26
Q

The failure of different colored light rays to focus after passing through a lens, focusing of light of different colors at different points resulting in a blurred image. In ___, COLORED FRINGES surround the image because light of different colors is brought to different focal points by a lens.

e.g. prints in a newspaper

A

Chromatic Aberration
Cause: Light rays passed through the lens didn’t focus causing color fringes
Result: Blurred Image

27
Q

The ability of the lens to bring horizontal and vertical lines in the subject to the same plane of focus in the image. It occurs at the EDGE OF IMAGE, the image appears elliptical or cone-shaped because of an irregularity in the curvature of the lens.

A

Astigmatism

28
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 spot of light appears to HAVE TAIL RATHER LIKE A COMET.

A

Coma

29
Q

A curved, concave or saucer shaped image of an object which has a flat surface. The image distance is different for different points of the object due to their DIFFERENT DISTANCE FROM THE AXIS.

A

Curvature of Field

30
Q

Inability to produce the SAME ENLARGEMENT in the image formed by the edges of the lens as in that part formed by the center of the lens.

A

Distortion

31
Q

This is the type of distortion where the outer edges is wide while the center is narrow.

A

Concave or Pincushion Distortion

32
Q

This is a type of distortion where the outer edges is bulged while the center is wide.

A

Convex or Barrel Distortion

33
Q

A result of DOUBLE REFLECTION FROM INNER LENS SURFACE. It exhibits self as a misty, hazy or cloudy semi-circular path of light.

A

Flare or Optical flare

34
Q

Bright spot on the film from WORN SHINY PARTS of the lens such as the stops, shutter, lens mount or from inside the camera itself.

A

Mechanical Flare

35
Q

Most corrected lenses are coated with a substance which will reduce one type of flare and which will also increase the optics inability to transmit light.

A

Light loss

36
Q

____ is actually a process helpful in diminishing flares but when used excessively will lead to ___.

A

Coating - light loss

37
Q

It can be reduced or eliminated by using the PROPER LENS SHADE placed on the front of the lens or shield.

A

Stray light

38
Q

This is a concept that enables how much light to see in the lens and it is DEPENDENT TO FOCAL LENGTH.

A

Field of View (FOV)

39
Q

This is where light rays meet.

A

Focal Point or Focus

40
Q

This is the distance between the center of the lens and the focal point. It determines how long.

A

Focal length
