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.
