Most modern lenses use a standard f-stop scale, which is an approximately geometric sequence of numbers that corresponds to the sequence of the powers of the square root of 2: f /1, 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, f /90, f /128, etc. Each element in the sequence is one stop lower than the ...
Exposure value is also used to indicate an interval on the photographic exposure scale, with a difference of 1 EV corresponding to a standard power-of-2 exposure step, commonly referred to as a stop. [1] The EV concept was developed by the German shutter manufacturer Friedrich Deckel in the 1950s (Gebele 1958; Ray 2000, 318).
A shutter that opens and closes near to the film or image sensor, usually as a fast-moving slit, as contrasted with a bladed/leaf shutter located near a nodal point of a lens. [12] FPA: Focal plane array. A matrix of sensors positioned in the focal plane of a lens or other focusing device. [12] FPS: Frames per second. Used in reference to ...
As diffraction is based on aperture width in absolute terms rather than the f-stop ratio, lenses for very small formats common in compact cameras rarely go above f/11 (1/1.8") or f/8 (1/2.5"), while lenses for medium- and large-format provide f/64 or f/128.
In 1997 Ilford Anitec was sold on to Doughty Hanson & Co a British private equity fund manager and subsequently rebranded Ilford Imaging. In 2002 plans were announced to redevelop the original part of the factory (the former Rajar works) for housing to release funds to re-invest in the business, with the houses subsequently built in 2004–07.

Many digital cameras have a display setting and possibly a physical dial whereby the photographer can set the camera to either over or under expose the subject by up to three f-stops in 1/3 stop intervals. Each number on the scale (1,2,3) represents one f-stop, decreasing the exposure by one f-stop will halve the amount of light reaching the ...
