Most lenses have a filter thread in the front where you can screw on camera lens filters. These filters cover a range of options, including adding tints or darkening a scene.
While the quality of a camera lens isn’t theonlydeterminant of image quality, the contribution that a lens makes to image quality is nonetheless significant. More simply expressed, it doesn’t matter how good the sensor in your camera is if the image the lens projects onto the sensor sucks...
However, if you generally want to have images with a larger depth of field and don’t mind shooting with slow shutter speeds (and many landscape photographers don’t), a slow lens will do the job perfectly. (If you want to shoot night-time landscapes, though, you’ll appreciate a lens ...
A camera traditionally achieves this depth-of-field effect by changing the aperture of the lens, but your iPhone uses software magic instead. Clever algorithms find the subject of your photo and then blur the background accordingly. As a result, you can change the aperture (measured in f-stop...
A lens’s aperture is the opening in the diaphragm that determines the amount of focused light passing through the lens. At a small f-stop, say f/2, a tremendous amount of light passes through, even at a fraction of a second; but at f/22, when the diaphragm is perhaps at its small...
Simply put, the aperture is the opening of the camera lens, which affects the amount of light that passes through the lens to the sensor. For this reason, this camera setting has a direct impact on the exposure of the image, and it’s critical to the depth of field, sharpness, and fi...
can now be easily framed and mastered. The best part—the Action Pod and the camera are compatible with the same magnetic mounts, ensuring hassle-free setup and enhanced versatility. Running low on power is now easily remedied by simply putting GO 3 into the Action Pod, attaching it to the...
The higher the resolution of the main camera, the more room you have for a digital zoom without having to rely on a real telephoto lens. It is unfortunate that the law of physics simply sets limits in this aspect. On the other hand, many smartphones offer an ultra-wide angle camera ...
I was sceptical when Huawei first explained this to me, but it actually works well. You can zoom into a scene a huge amount, getting up close on details simply out of reach of any other phone camera. It's not completely lossless as Huawei claims -- small details are a bit more fuzzy...
Every digital camera has at its heart a solid-state device which, like film, captures the light coming in through the lens to form an image. This device, called a sensor
