Film plane, the Glossary

Index Film plane

A film plane is the surface of an image recording device such as a camera, upon which the lens creates the focused image.[1]

Camera lens

A camera lens (also known as photographic lens or photographic objective) is an optical lens or assembly of lenses used in conjunction with a camera body and mechanism to make images of objects either on photographic film or on other media capable of storing an image chemically or electronically.

See Film plane and Camera lens

Cardinal point (optics)

In Gaussian optics, the cardinal points consist of three pairs of points located on the optical axis of a rotationally symmetric, focal, optical system.

See Film plane and Cardinal point (optics)

Critical focus

In a photograph, the area of critical focus is the portion of the picture that is optically in focus.

See Film plane and Critical focus

Digital sensor

A digital sensor is an electronic or electrochemical sensor, where data is digitally converted and transmitted.

See Film plane and Digital sensor

Exposure (photography)

In photography, exposure is the amount of light per unit area reaching a frame of photographic film or the surface of an electronic image sensor.

See Film plane and Exposure (photography)

Flange focal distance

For an interchangeable lens camera, the flange focal distance (FFD) (also known as the flange-to-film distance, flange focal depth, flange back distance (FBD), flange focal length (FFL), back focus or register, depending on the usage and source) of a lens mount system is the distance from the mounting flange (the interlocking metal rings on the camera and the rear of the lens) to the film or image sensor plane. Film plane and flange focal distance are photography equipment.

Focus (optics)

In geometrical optics, a focus, also called an image point, is a point where light rays originating from a point on the object converge.

See Film plane and Focus (optics)

Focus puller

A focus puller or first assistant camera (1st AC) is a member of a film crew's camera department whose primary responsibility is to maintain the camera lens's optical focus on whatever subject or action is being filmed.

See Film plane and Focus puller

Movie camera

A movie camera (also known as a film camera and cine-camera) is a type of photographic camera that rapidly takes a sequence of photographs, either onto film stock or an image sensor, in order to produce a moving image to display on a screen.

See Film plane and Movie camera

Petzval field curvature

Petzval field curvature, named for Joseph Petzval, describes the optical aberration in which a flat object normal to the optical axis (or a non-flat object past the hyperfocal distance) cannot be brought properly into focus on a flat image plane.

See Film plane and Petzval field curvature

Photographic film

Photographic film is a strip or sheet of transparent film base coated on one side with a gelatin emulsion containing microscopically small light-sensitive silver halide crystals. Film plane and Photographic film are photography equipment.

See Film plane and Photographic film

Photographic plate

Photographic plates preceded photographic film as a capture medium in photography. Film plane and photographic plate are photography equipment.

See Film plane and Photographic plate

Tape measure

A tape measure or measuring tape is a flexible ruler used to measure length or distance.
