Camera Specifications

1

  If the exact magnification must be documented, include a scale in the picture 

(23)

. The scale 

and the subject must be at the same distance from the camera.

2

 

The camera contains separate lenses for the magnification. Each lens has the proper focal 
length for minimum perspective distortion and more working space between the camera and 
subject, and a small lens aperture for better depth of field.

3

 

The depth of field, or distance zone within which the subject will be in sharp focus, is limited in 

close-up photography. The zone will extend about half its distance in front of, and half behind, 
the point of sharpest focus.

Note:

 The camera has a fixed shutter speed of 1/50 sec.
