Kameralinssi

Kameralinssi, often referred to as a camera lens, is a crucial optical component in photography and videography. It is responsible for focusing light rays from a scene onto the image sensor or film within a camera. Lenses are complex assemblies of one or more lens elements, which are typically made of optical glass. These elements are precisely shaped and arranged to correct for optical aberrations, such as chromatic aberration and distortion, ensuring a sharp and accurate image.

The primary function of a kameralinssi is to gather and direct light. The aperture, a variable opening within the lens, controls the amount of light that reaches the sensor. This aperture size, measured in f-stops, also influences the depth of field, which is the range of distances in a scene that appear acceptably sharp. Different focal lengths of lenses determine the field of view. Wide-angle lenses capture a broader scene, while telephoto lenses magnify distant objects. Prime lenses have a fixed focal length, offering superior image quality and often larger apertures. Zoom lenses, on the other hand, offer a range of focal lengths, providing versatility for different shooting situations. The quality of a kameralinssi significantly impacts the overall image quality, affecting sharpness, contrast, and color rendition.
