What is Depth of Field:
- You can work with DOF and
aperture to achieve an interesting
Combination.
- The focal length of a lens affects
Your DOF
- How much focus is in your shot
- Longer focal length = Shallower
DOF
What is Field of View:
- How much is in the frame
- Wide lens(24 mm) > large FOV
- Zoom lens > Smaller FOV
- Depending where the camera is, a lens might be chosen to display a desired FOV (ex. Small studio)
- How much is in your shot

What is Compression:
- Is a type of lens distortion:
- 50 mm is 0 on the compression
+ 50 mm = more compression
- 50 mm = decompressed image
- Compression has two effects on
your image:
- Distorts relative distance of
the scene
