Mengenal Lensa Kamera Digital

Lensa Kamera DigitalSaat melihat hasil foto yang tajam dari sebuah kamera digital, biasanya orang akan bertanya “Wah,berapa megapixel nih?”. Pertanyaan ini cenderung slaah kaprah karena ukuran sensor tidak memiliki relevansi yang erat dengan ketajaman gambar. Bagian kamera yang sangat berpengaruh pada ketajaman hasil adalah lensanya. Sekedar info, resolusi televisi VCD hanya 320×240pixel (tepatnya 352×240 (NTSC) or 352×288 (PAL)), dan gambarnya bisa tajam bukan?.

Pada prinsipnya, lensa pada kamera digital dan kamera film sama saja. Hanya saja aku pengin menulis tentang kamera digital, lagipula kalau di judul ada kata ‘digital’ kesannya lebih keren gitu.

Panjang fokus

Lensa kamera digital

Tugas lensa adalah memproyeksikan obyek di depan lensa ke sensor pada kamera (pelajaran SMP), lha jarak dari pusat lensa ke titik fokusnya itu yang dimaksud panjang fokus, jarak fokus, atau focal length.

Terdapat 2 jenis panjang fokal lensa pada kamera digital: lensa tetap (fixed length), dan lensa zoom.
- Lensa tetap hanya memiliki satu panjang fokus, biasanya sekitar 6-7mm. Untuk mengenali kamera ini, biasanya tidak ada keterangan ‘optical zoom’.
- Lensa zoom memiliki mekanisme yang memungkinkan panjang fokusnya berubah-ubah. Pada umumnya panjang fokus berkisar dari 6-7mm sampai 18-28mm (yang lebih besar juga banyak).

Panjang fokal yang bisa berubah-ubah ini bisa diperoleh dengan menggunakan susunan lensa yang rumit. Pada kamera digital kelas konsumer, perubahan susunan lensa ini digerakkan oleh motor. Sedangkan pada kamera DSLR yang digunakan profesional, BISA

Low light Photography and Digital Noise

You’ve all had digital pictures with “noise” in them… want to know why?

Digital cameras have sensors that receive photons (the thingies that make up light). These sensors are analogue devices that turn analogue signals into digital data. These charges are converted to digital data in cells that are sensitive to three different colours of light: Red, Green and Blue (RGB). The cells that receive more photons have a higher charge and are designated ‘lighter’ while the ones with a lower number of photons are darker.

Now, what happens when you take a photograph in a really dark place? Once you’ve opened up your aperture to the max, and used the lowest shutter speed possible, you turn the ISO up, right? And voila! Your sensor is more sensitive, right? Naah! The sensor can’t really adjust it ‘sensitivity’; instead, what your camera does is, it turns up the amplification of the photons that are received. Making them seem brighter. Simple!

So why are higher ISO photographs so grainy, and noisy? If you guessed “because of the amplification,” you’d be right
 Its similar to amplification on your stereo. If the signal level is low, the more you amplify it, the more likely it is that you’re going to amplify the background static too. And this will give you lower quality sound.

Your camera’s sensor has a basic charge, so if we turn up the amplification…
