CAMERA
A Camera is an optical
instrument used to capture
an image. Camera, in
photography, is a device for
recording an image of an
object on a light sensitive
surface. It is essentially a
light tight box with an
aperture to admit light
focused onto a sensitized
film or plate.

ACTION
CAMERAS
The 360-degree camera takes half dome to full-circle panoramic photos and videos using back-
to-back lenses. Like action cameras, some of them are also water resistant and mountable on
many surfaces, such as on top of cars, helmets, or drones. Above all, they take the most
realistic pictures and videos with stunning panoramic views that you can truly immerse
yourself in, virtual reality style.

CAMERAS
The focal length of a lens is the
distance over which a lens
focusses a parallel beam of light
to one point. Usually the image
sensor is placed at the focal
point so the subject being
photographed is in focus. The
focal length tells us the angle of
view for a particular lens — and
also, how much of a scene will
be captured when using that
lens. The focal length also gives
a sense of magnification. The
shorter the focal length is, the
wider the angle of view will be.
Similarly, the longer the focal
length is, the narrower and more
“zoomed in” the field of view
will be.

When it comes to depth of field, here are the three main factors that will affect how you control it:
The Aperture
The aperture is the opening which lets
light into the camera. A large aperture
means a small f-number and a shallow
depth of field while a small aperture
means a larger f-number and a deeper
depth of field.
The Subject’s Distance to
the Camera
Focal Length of the
Lens
To keep it simple, the longer the focal
length, the shallower the depth of field
will be.
The depth of field is shallower the closer the
subject is to the camera. As the camera moves
away from the subject, the depth of field
becomes deeper.
OPTICAL IMAGE
STABILIZATION
Optical image stabilization is a
technique that
reduce blurring associated with the
motion of a camera or other
imaging device during exposure.
There are two types of image
stabilizations:
Lens stabilization : In this case the
stabilization apparatus resides
within the lens. Lens stabilization is
also more appropriate for large lens
and low-light situations.
In-camera stabilization : In this case,
the stabilization is achieved by
adjusting the sensor inside the
camera. It works with all lenses. It
means you can purchase lighter and less expensive lenses as your camera is already stabilized from within.
Exposure
Time
Exposure is a combination of three
factors that together work to tell us
how much light accumulates on the
sensor to make the image.
The f-stop setting determines how much light is allowed to enter the lens and pass through. It
also determines how much in front and behind the subject is in focus (the depth of field). The
difference between aperture and f-stop is that the aperture refers to the diameter of the circular
entrance of the lens while the f-stop refers to the ratio of the focal length as it relates to the
diameter of the aperture.
Automatic Exposure Bracketing (or AEB) is used for taking High Definition Range(HDR) photos.
Many DSLR’s come equipped with Automatic Exposure Bracketing which helps photographers
automatically to take multiple images of the scene at different exposure settings.
Automatic Exposure Bracketing
A camera’s autofocus system knows how
to adjust the camera lens to help get the
subject in focus. Each of the sensors
assesses the changes in contrast at
various points in the image and helps to
achieve maximum sharpness. The three
factors that influence autofocus are light
level, subject contrast and the motion of
the subject or camera. As the camera
attempts to autofocus, it opens the
aperture to the largest possible amount
to allow for more light. Having a good
autofocus in your camera, is similar to
having perfect vision — it offers high
clarity, detail, and a distinct scene.
