18. aperture size of opening of the lens
lower f-stop = larger opening, lets in more light, shallow depth of
field
higher f-stop = smaller opening, lets in less light, deeper depth
of field
19. focal length determines lens' field of view (how much of scene in front of
lens is
inside the frame)
longer focal length = less field of view
shorter focal length = more field of
view
20. wide angle lens wide field of view and short focal length
21. "normal" lens field of view similar to human eye
22. telephoto lens narrow field of view and long focal length
23. perceived focal length subject to camera distance; the farther the subject is from lens, th
de- pends on: narrower the field of view
