Media Center Policies SAIC MEDIA CENTER How are they like our eyes? SAIC MEDIA CENTER How are they like our eyes? Cameras are similar to your eyes; many of the mechanisms, including the geometry, are analogous. Cameras, like film, have undergone a steady evolution since they were invented. The reflex lens was crucial, as was film that would react quickly (and predictably) to light of different wavelengths. Camera lenses and filters are now a fully evolved technology. The following diagrams depict some fundamental ideas that pertain to the optics of cameras. SAIC MEDIA CENTER How do lenses work SAIC MEDIA CENTER How do lenses work SAIC MEDIA CENTER How do lenses work Focal Length In addition to magnification, it determines the angle of view and compression of the scene. This is quite important to remember so that you know where to stand and what lens to use to get the shot you want. The longer the focal length (the larger the number in millimeters), the greater the magnification and the closer it will appear that you are to your subjects, but the narrower the angle of view will be. SAIC MEDIA CENTER How do lenses work Focus Ring A ring on the lens of a camera that can be rotated to allow users to manually focus the camera. A more precise way to measure the focus is using a ruler to measure the distance between the sensor and object to find the proper focus on the lens. Object Distance SAIC MEDIA CENTER How do lenses work Manual Focus On the side of your lens, look for a switch labeled "AF - MF," which is short for Autofocus and Manual Focus, respectively. When you're ready to shoot in MF mode, switch your lens to that setting. Turn the focus ring until your subject sharpens. Switch your camera to live view mode (where the LCD is your viewfinder). Tap the magnifier button to zoom in on your subject, and use the arrows on your camera to move the area of view. SAIC MEDIA CENTER How do lenses work Aperture Aperture refers to the opening of a lens' diaphragm through which light passes. It is calibrated in f/stops and is generally written as numbers such as 1.4, 2, 2.8, 4, 5.6, 8, 11 and 16. The lower f/stops give more exposure because they represent the larger apertures, while the higher f/stops give less exposure because they represent smaller apertures. This may seem a little contradictory at first but will become clearer as you take pictures at varying f/stops. SAIC MEDIA CENTER How do lenses work SAIC Media Center Use EF Mount Lens Mount A lens mount is an interface — mechanical and often also electrical — between a photographic camera body and a lens. It is confined to cameras where the body allows interchangeable lenses, most usually the rangefinder camera, single lens reflex type or any movie camera of 16mm or higher gauge.

  • Freelensing Presentation
    FREELENSING WORKSHOP NOTES by ALMITRA HILL These notes are taken from a workshop presentation by Almitra Hill at Lane Cove Creative Photography on Thursday 3 May 2018. WHAT IS FREELENSING? An alternative shooting technique where an interchangeable lens is detached from the camera body and held up to the mount opening during exposure. The lens is often tilted to distort the focal plane and selectively focus. Distinctive features include: wedge of focus, distorted perspective, softness/blur, light leaks, flare. Above: some examples of freelensed images STARTING OUT Which lens to use • A “normal” prime lens is a good place to start (35mm or 50mm) but zoom lenses can be used. • Something lightweight that is easy to handle. • A slower maximum aperture can be handy. • Manual aperture ring is extremely useful. • Vintage lenses are great! • A different-mount lens with a longer register/flange focal distance will enable more distant focus (e.g. Nikon lens with Canon body). A note on aperture… • Default apertures depend on the make and mount of lens: Canon-mount lenses default to wide open when detached, most other lenses default to fully stopped down. • TIP: Canon users can hold down the DoF preview button while detaching a lens (with the power on) and the aperture will remain as set. www.lanecovecreativephotography.org • Nikon, Pentax, Sony, Sigma, Tamron etc lenses have an aperture control lever on the rear of the lens that can be held open with a small piece of card/plastic/hairtie. • Manual aperture rings allow you to stop down mechanically. Setting exposure • Meter electronically: Canon and Nikon meters still function with the lens detached.

The lens on a camera is a series of precision-shaped pieces of glass that, when placed together, can manipulate light and change the appearance of an image. Some cameras have removable lenses (interchangeable lenses) while other cameras have permanent lenses (fixed lenses). Fixed-lens cameras are limited in their versatility, but are generally much less expensive than a camera body with several potentially expensive lenses. (The cost for interchangeable lenses can range from $1-200 for standard lenses to $10,000 or more for high quality, professional lenses.) In addition, fixed-lens cameras are typically smaller and easier to pack around on sightseeing or recreational trips. Those who wish to become involved in fine art, fashion, portrait, landscape, or wildlife photography, would be wise to become familiar with the various types of lenses serious photographers use. The following discussion is mostly about interchangeable-lens cameras. However, understanding the concepts will help in understanding fixed-lens cameras as well. Figures 1 & 2. Figure 1 shows this camera at its minimum Lens Terms focal length of 4.7mm, while Figure 2 shows the110mm maximum focal length.

  • LENSES There Is Something Magical About the Image Formed by a Lens
    LENSES There is something magical about the image formed by a lens. Surely every serious photographer stands in awe of this miraculous device, which approaches ultimate perfection. A fine lens is evidence of a most advanced technology and craft. We must come to know intuitively what our lenses and other equipment will do for us, and how to use them. ~ Ansel Adams LENSES A pinhole is the simplest way to form an image. A pinhole creates a very soft focused, diffused image that is often aesthetically pleasing. Pinhole cameras can be very complex or very simple in construction. ~ Ansel Adams LENSES Focal Length When choosing a camera you must also choose the appropriate lens for whatever subject matter you will be photographing. Lenses come in a wide variety, not only in focal length but also in price. Purchasing the right lens can be difficult if you don’t understand some basic terminology: Focal Length is what gives lenses their names (wide, telephoto, zoom, etc). The focal length is defined as a distance from the center of such a convex element (principle point) to the focal point (image plane) and it is one of the most decisive factors that determines the characteristics of a lens. When purchasing a lens we recognize the focal length of the lens sometimes by its physical length, but mainly by the number designated. For example: 50mm, 85mm, 200mm, 70-200mm, etc. The focal length is usually the first decision to make in purchasing a lens. Focal Length LENSES One of the greatest advantages to purchasing a digital SLR camera is the fact that you can purchase a wide variety of lens for every purpose.

  • Choosing a Lens of the Right Focal Length That You Will Get the Appropriate Angle of View
    How to choose a camera lens Understanding the technology SUMMARY When you buy a camera, make sure the lens is suited for the intended purpose. With the right lens, you can greatly enhance the results you achieve in a particular type of photography and, by having a variety of lenses, you can greatly extend the usefulness of your camera. This paper provides a basic introduction to the principles of camera lenses. It explains the terminology: what is meant by focal length and f/number? Choose the right lens and taking good photographs becomes so much easier! The Basics The most important component of your camera is the lens. It’s no good having a camera with an impressively large number of megapixels if the lens is not up to the job. A lens has two basic properties: Focal length This determines the field of view of the lens. To match human vision, you’d need a lens with a focal length of about 35mm (in photography, focal length is always measured in millimetres). The normal, or standard, focal length for a camera lens is 50mm - anything smaller is called wide-angle, anything greater is called telephoto. A camera lens offering a range of focal lengths is called a zoom lens; one of fixed focal length is called a prime lens. f/number The ratio of the focal length of the lens (f) to its effective diameter: the size of its ‘window’ on the outside world , or aperture. The f/number is a measure of the light gathering power of the lens (called its speed).

  • A Quick Guide to Prime Lenses
    A Quick Guide to Prime Lenses PUBLISHED - 29 SEP 2016 What is a prime lens? Well, in terms of what it's not, it's a lens that isn't a zoom – rather than have a range of focal lengths, it has only one. But in terms of what it is, it's far more than simply a fixed focal length lens. So what are the benefits of using a prime lens? Get yourself comfortable, because there's a lot to get through… Smaller, lighter, more compact Prime lenses are often smaller and more compact than zooms, and tend to be faster, offering wide apertures of f/2.8, f/1.8 or even f/1.4. These large apertures let in more light, which benefits the photographer in a number of ways. First, you can use fast shutter speeds with large apertures to freeze motion. This becomes important when you're shooting in low light. By using a high ISO and a wide aperture, you'll be able to use high enough shutter speeds so you can hand-hold the camera. Secondly, because fast lenses let in lots of light, the viewfinder will be brighter, and so it will be easier to confirm focus, ensuring your images will be sharp. Also, as primes are often simpler in construction than zooms, this means they are not only often slightly less expensive to make, but they also tend to have fewer visual aberrations such a colour fringing and image distortion, giving you a more technically correct image than a zoom can at the extremes of its focal range Another popular benefit of a prime lens is the bokeh it will achieve, especially for portraits.
