The basics for choosing a lens
Picture angle and focal length
1. Picture angle

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.
