In Which Security Scenarios Are Low Distortion Lenses Most Widely Used?

图片
Low   distortion lenses provide realistic, high-quality images and are widely used in security   applications,   performing   particularly well   in   scenarios   requiring high-precision images and reduced image distortion. The following are common application scenarios for low   distortion lenses in the security and surveillance field: 1. Large public area surveillance Low   distortion lenses provide a wide field of view, covering a larger surveillance area and reducing blind spots. They are suitable for panoramic surveillance and are commonly used in large areas such as airports, plazas, and large parking lots. For example, some low   distortion lenses have a field of view of up to 190°, allowing a single camera to monitor a much wider area. 2. Intelligent traffic monitoring Low   distortion lenses are also commonly used in intelligent transportation monitoring systems for identifying and recording vehicle information,   la...

Travel light, but pack wisely For travel photography, simplicity is often the best option. Carrying heavy photograph...

How to Choose The Right Varifocal Lens Based on The Scene When Shooting Landscapes?

图片
Varifocal  lenses allow you to adjust the focal length without changing your shooting position, offering great flexibility and adaptability to different shooting needs, and are widely used in landscape photography. When photographing landscapes, choosing the right varifocal  lens requires considering factors such as focal length, shooting intentions, and scene characteristics. In this article, we will explore these factors together. 1. Large-scale landscape When photographing large-scale landscapes, such as mountains, grasslands, deserts, and coastlines, where the overall grandeur of the environment needs to be captured, a wide field of view, a sense of extension, or spatial depth is required. In these situations, an ultra-wide-angle varifocal  lens is suitable, with focal lengths such as 10-24mm or 16-35mm. For example, when shooting a panoramic view of a snow-capped mountain, a varifocal  lens using an ultra-wide-angle lens can simultaneously capture the rocks in ...

Lens Terminology Sharing: What Is Aperture?

图片
In the fields of photography and optics, aperture is a very important concept. It is a device inside the lens used to control the amount of light passing through. Simply put, the aperture is like the pupil of the human eye; it can adjust its size according to the intensity of ambient light, thereby controlling the amount of light entering the eye. Aperture is one of the core concepts for beginners in photography, and in this article, we will explore its definition and function. 1. Definition of aperture (1) Effective caliber The diameter of the light beam when parallel light rays from an infinitely distant source pass through the front lens of a camera is called the lens caliber. This actually represents the basic light-gathering capacity of the lens and is therefore called the effective caliber. We can usually see markings similar to "[1:2 f/58mm]" on the front of a camera lens. This indicates the lens caliber and focal length. It shows that the ratio of the lens aperture t...

What is Relative Illuminance? How Do You Interpret A Relative Illuminance Curve Graph?

1. What is relative illuminance? The edges of the object appear noticeably darker; can this be improved? Today we'll look at this parameter—relative illumination. Definition: Illuminance is the degree of brightness exhibited by an object or surface when illuminated by a light source. Relative illumination refers to the ratio of the brightness at the edge of the field of view to the brightness at the center, expressed as a percentage. It is a parameter that characterizes the optical phenomenon caused by a portion of the light entering the lens being blocked or reduced. In optical design, the relative illumination curve provides a visual representation of the brightness at various positions in the field of view relative to the center. 2. What factors affect relative illuminance? (1) Fourth p ower of c osine Law The brightness at the edge of the field of view decreases proportionally, and this is related to the fourth power of the cosine of the viewing angle. The f ourth p ower of c o...

How to Use Varifocal Lens Correctly For Portrait Shooting

图片
Varifocal  lenses have the characteristic of variable focal length. Compared to fixed focus  lenses, they can cover multiple focal lengths without the need for frequent lens changes, making them suitable for shooting situations that require quick adjustments to composition and handling complex scenes, such as wedding photography and outdoor portrait photography. When using varifocal  lenses to shoot portraits, photographers can take advantage of their versatility and flexibility to enhance the shooting results. Next, we will learn together about the usage techniques and precautions of varifocal  lenses, and learn how to properly shoot portraits. 1. Choose the appropriate focal length The medium telephoto range (focal length 50-135mm) of a varifocal  lens is ideal for portrait photography, especially 85mm and 135mm, which are classic focal lengths for portraits. They are suitable for close-up portraits, compressing spatial perspective, blurring the background, a...
