What is the primary function of a camera lens? To gather light reflecting off a scene and direct it onto the camera's sensor plane.


What does focal length determine in a lens? The degree of magnification or de-magnification and the lens' angle of view.


What are the three broad classifications of focal lengths? Wide angle (short lenses), normal (medium lenses), and telephoto (long lenses).


What is a normal lens? A lens that approximates the same perspective and image size that the human
eye would see.


What is the difference between prime and zoom lenses? Prime lenses have a fixed focal length, while zoom lenses offer a continuous
range of focal lengths.


What is the Z-axis effect in lens perspective? Wide-angle lenses exaggerate depth along the z-axis, while telephoto lenses
compress space along the z-axis.


What is focus in photography? Focus occurs when light rays from a subject converge to form a sharply defined
image on the camera's sensor plane.
