Camera Operations

Notes

ISO

Shutter Speed

Aperture

Larger apertures: Shallower DOF

Smaller apertures: Greater DOF

Luminance Data (Black/White Clipping)

Motion Blur

Determined by speed of object and amount of time that camera's shutter was open.

There is no leading edge with motion blur trail; it blurs equally on both side of object.

Depth of Field (DOF)

Determined by lens aperture, focal length, distance of lens to focal point.

Proportional to square of distance (double distance then DOF quadruples).

Camera Artifacts

Lens Flares

Occurs with overexposure of image sensor and multiple reflections in lens assembly.

Note that nothing can pass between lens flares and camera since it is the closest thing to the camera.
