    The two lenses are typically linked to ensure that they remain focused at the same distance. TTL: Through the lens. Through the lens metering measures the luminance after it has passed through the camera lens, thus providing readings or settings that allow for aperture and focus changes, filters, etc. [11] UV: Ultraviolet. The electromagnetic ...

  3. Daguerreotype - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daguerreotype

    Another device to make a daguerreotype the right way round would be to use a mirror when taking the photograph. The daguerreotypes of the 1852 Omaha Indian (Native American) delegation in the Smithsonian include a daguerreotype copied in the camera, recognizable by the contrast being high and a black line down the side of the plate.

  4. Perspective distortion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Perspective_distortion

    Conversely, if all three lenses are used from distances such that the face fills the field, the wide-angle will be used from closer, making the nose larger compared to the rest of the photo, and the telephoto will be used from farther, making the nose smaller compared to the rest of the photo. Outside photography, extension distortion is ...

  5. Camera obscura - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camera_obscura

    In practice, camera obscuras use a lens rather than a pinhole because it allows a larger aperture, giving a usable brightness while maintaining focus. [8] If the image is caught on a translucent screen, it can be viewed from the back so that it is no longer reversed (but still upside-down). Using mirrors, it is possible to project a right-side ...

  6. Science of photography - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_of_photography

    The science of photography is the use of chemistry and physics in all aspects of photography. This applies to the camera, its lenses, physical operation of the camera, electronic camera internals, and the process of developing film in order to take and develop pictures properly.

    This distortion can be reduced by using a swing-lens camera with a standard focal length lens. The FT-2 has a 50 mm while most other 35 mm swing lens cameras use a wide-angle lens, often 28 mm. [citation needed] Similar distortion is seen in panoramas shot with digital cameras using in-camera stitching.

  8. Flipped image - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flipped_image

    Many large format cameras present the image of the scene being photographed as a flipped image through their viewfinders. Some photographers regard this as a beneficial feature, as the unfamiliarity of the format allows them to compose the elements of the picture properly without being distracted by the actual contents of the scene.

  9. Telephoto lens - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Telephoto_lens

    These designs, called catadioptric, 'reflex', or 'mirror' lenses, have a curved mirror as the primary objective with some form of negative lens in front of the mirror to correct optical aberrations. They also use a curved secondary mirror to relay the image that extends the light cone the same way the negative lens telephoto group does. The ...
