CAMERA TERMINOLOGY
- Overview
http://www.maxwellrender.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=8218 - F-Stop, Apperture, Diaphragm:
http://www.dpreview.com/learn/?/Glos...perture_01.htm
Each step halves the amount of light. Large apperture decreases the DOF (blurrier image)
Typical stops (from large to small): f/1.4 f/2 f/2.8 f/4 f/5.6 f/8 f/11 f/16 f/22 f/32 f/45 f/64 - Lens (focal length):
http://www.dpreview.com/learn/?/Glos..._Length_01.htm
- <20mm = Super wide angle
24 to 35 = Wide angle
50mm = Normal lens (human eye)
80-300 = Telephoto lens
>300 = Super tele
- <20mm = Super wide angle
- Shutterspeed:
