Angle of view is the angular extent of a scene that a lens and sensor capture, set by focal length and sensor size and measured in…
Bokeh in photography is the aesthetic quality of out-of-focus areas, shaped by lens design, aperture, distance and optical aberrations.
Chromatic aberration is a lens fault in which different wavelengths focus at different points, causing colored fringes along high-contrast edges.
Crop factor is the ratio between the full frame diagonal and a smaller sensor diagonal, used to compare angle of view across lenses and formats.
Depth of field is the distance range in front of and behind the focus point that looks acceptably sharp in a photograph, set by aperture, distance…
Diffraction in photography is the spreading of light as it passes the lens aperture, which softens fine detail as the lens is stopped down to small…
Focal length is the optical distance, in millimeters, that sets a lens's magnification and, with sensor size, its angle of view in photography.
Hyperfocal distance is the closest focus distance at which a lens keeps everything from about half that distance to infinity acceptably sharp.
