Depth of field (DOF)
Changing depth of field is a frequently used creative technique to control how much of a photo is in sharp focus.
Depth of field quick guide
A quick and easy guide to increasing or decreasing depth of field in a photo using a digital camera.
DSLR teleconverter
A teleconverter increases the focal length of an interchangeable lens, but it also reduces the effective aperture size, magnifies aberration created by the main lens and may interfere with autofocus.
Shutter speed
The shutter controls the length of time light hits the camera sensor. Slow shutter speeds capture the feeling of movement, while fast shutter speeds freeze movement.
Aperture
The aperture controls the amount of light that reaches the camera sensor, acting much like the pupil of an eye that widens or decreases in size as the intensity of light changes.
