aperture

iris opening of a lens measures in f-stops TERM 2

calibrate

DEFINITION 2 preset a zoom lens to remain in focus thoughout zoom TERM 3

compression

DEFINITION 3 crowding effect achieved by narrow angle lens TERM 4

depth of field

DEFINITION 4 all objects in different distances appear in focus depends on focal length of lens, fstop and distance between object and camera TERM 5

digital zooming

DEFINITION 5 simulated zoom croping center of image and enlargind it lose pic resolution

fast lens

lets relatively great amount of light pass through its max aperture can be used in low light conditions TERM 7

field of view

DEFINITION 7 portion os scene visible through particular lens its vista TERM 8

focal length

DEFINITION 8 distance from center of lens & front of cameras imaging device measured in milimiters or inches short--wide angel view long- narrow angle view TERM 9

f-stop

DEFINITION 9 calibration of lends indicating aperture or iris opening bigger- smaller aperture smaller-bigger aperture TERM 10

iris

DEFINITION 10 adjustable lens opening controls about of light passing though lens

range extender

optical attchment to zoom lens extends focal length TERM 17

selective focus

DEFINITION 17 emphasizing an object in a shallow depth of field through focus while keeping its foreground and background in focus TERM 18

slow lens

DEFINITION 18 permits small amount of ligh to pass through at its maximum aperture only used in well lighted areas TERM 19

wide angle lens

DEFINITION 19 shot focal length prvides broad vista of a scene TERM 20

z-axis

DEFINITION 20 imaginary line representing an extension of the lens from camera to horizon

zoom lens

variable focal length lens can change from wider shot to a close up vice versa
