  2. f-number - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/F-number

    Camera lenses often include an adjustable diaphragm, which changes the size of the aperture stop and thus the entrance pupil size. This allows the user to vary the f-number as needed. The entrance pupil diameter is not necessarily equal to the aperture stop diameter, because of the magnifying effect of lens elements in front of the aperture.

  3. 35 mm equivalent focal length - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/35_mm_equivalent_focal_length

    35 mm equivalent focal lengths are calculated by multiplying the actual focal length of the lens by the crop factor of the sensor. Typical crop factors are 1.26× – 1.29× for Canon (1.35× for Sigma "H") APS-H format, 1.5× for Nikon APS-C ("DX") format (also used by Sony, Pentax, Fuji, Samsung and others), 1.6× for Canon APS-C format, 2× for Micro Four Thirds format, 2.7× for 1-inch ...

  4. Magnification - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Magnification

    Stepwise magnification by 6% per frame into a 39-megapixel image. In the final frame, at about 170x, an image of a bystander is seen reflected in the man's cornea. Magnification is the process of enlarging the apparent size, not physical size, of something. This enlargement is quantified by a size ratio called optical magnification.

  5. Image scaling - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_scaling

    Image scaling can be interpreted as a form of image resampling or image reconstruction from the view of the Nyquist sampling theorem.According to the theorem, downsampling to a smaller image from a higher-resolution original can only be carried out after applying a suitable 2D anti-aliasing filter to prevent aliasing artifacts.

  6. Image resolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image_resolution

    Image resolution is the level of detail of an image. The term applies to digital images, film images, and other types of images. "Higher resolution" means more image detail. Image resolution can be measured in various ways. Resolution quantifies how close lines can be to each other and still be visibly resolved. Resolution units can be tied to ...

  7. Angular resolution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Angular_resolution

    Angular resolution describes the ability of any image-forming device such as an optical or radio telescope, a microscope, a camera, or an eye, to distinguish small details of an object, thereby making it a major determinant of image resolution.

  8. Circle of confusion - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_confusion

    To calculate the diameter of the circle of confusion in the image plane for an out-of-focus subject, one method is to first calculate the diameter of the blur circle in a virtual image in the object plane, which is simply done using similar triangles, and then multiply by the magnification of the system, which is calculated with the help of the ...

  9. Pixel density - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pixel_density

    For example, Sony Alpha SLT-A58 has 20.1 megapixels on an APS-C sensor having 6.2 MP/cm 2 since a compact camera like Sony Cyber-shot DSC-HX50V has 20.4 megapixels on an 1/2.3" sensor having 70 MP/cm 2. The professional camera has a lower PPI than a compact camera, because it has larger photodiodes due to having far larger sensors.
