The basics for choosing a lens

Picture angle and focal length

1. Picture angle

12mm

18mm

24mm

55mm

70mm

120mm

200mm

300mm

400mm

Picture angle — the image area seen through the lens — is determined by the focal

length. A lens with a shorter focal length provides a wide-angle picture and broader

images, while a longer focal length (i.e. telephoto lens) results in a narrower picture

angle and larger image.

Note: When the lens is attached to a digital camera, the picture angle is equivalent to that of a 35mm film-based

camera lens with approximately 1.5x focal length.

2. Perspective

18mm

55mm

Perspective refers to the relationship between size and depth of subjects in a

picture. A wideangle lens emphasizes foreground objects by making them appear

further away from the background. A telephoto lens compresses the foreground and

background, deemphasizing their difference in size and relative distance.

Depth of field

The area of a photograph in which subjects in front of and behind the main subject

appear sharply focused is known as the depth of field. The depth of field corresponds

to the lens aperture in use. A smaller aperture (larger f-number) creates a greater

depth of field, increasing the area in focus. The focal length of a lens also has an

effect; as the focal length increases,

depth of field decreases.

Great depth of field (f/16)

Brightness of a lens (f-number)

An f-number — marked, for example, as f/2.8, F2.8 or 1:2.8 — indicates how much

light a lens allows through its aperture. A small f-number corresponds to a large

aperture, meaning it allows more light through and can be used with faster shutter

speeds.

U Point™ Technology

Simply select a control point and adjust its slider until you see the image as you like

it. It's a highly visual, intuitive technique.

Color Control Points

Color Control Points let you directly select and

isolate an entire image or an area within it for

enhancement quickly. Within moments, you

can choose and use any Color Control Point to

modify any aspect of a selected area

including: Size, Hue, Brightness, Saturation,

Contrast, Red, Green, Blue and Warmth.

Moving any one of these sliders will change how that

Control Point interacts with your image. Contrast, Red,

Green, Blue and Warmth sliders are also available as an

advanced setting.

Show Selection for Accurate

Control

Use the "show selection" feature for each

Color Control Point to see which area of the

image is affected by the Color Control Point.

This process reverses the image into a black

and white view and clearly shows the image

areas under adjustment.

Black, White, Neutral Control

Points

Black, White and Neutral Control Points can

be used to set the dynamic range and correct

color casts in your images. Neutral Control

Points can also be used to set color balance in

an image. This is useful for removing color

casts and toning, even without a neutral

object in the scene.

offending eyes, and away it goes! With just a

few slider adjustments, you can use a color

Control Point to make blue (or any other eye

color) eyes brighter, darker or more radiant.
