LENS ABERRATIONS

There
is
always
a
difference
between
the
performance
of
an
ideal
lens
and
an
actual
lens.
This
difference
is
called
lens
aberration.
There
are
many
types
of
lens
aberrations,
but
they
fall
into
two
distinct
categories.
Chromatic
aberrations
are
caused
by
differences
in
the
colors
of
light.
Spherical
aberration,
astigmatism,
coma,
distortion,
and
curvature
of
field
occur
at
all
visible
wavelengths.
It
is
very
important
that
photographic
lenses
compensate
for
aberrations
because
the
focused
image
is
the
key
to
the
picture's
image
definition.
Good
lenses
provide
well
balanced
compensation
for
aberrations.
The
image
quality
of
each
lens
depends
on
the
amount
of
aberration
remaining
after
compensation.
There
are
two
kinds
of
chromatic
aberration:
longitudinal
and
lateral.
Longitudinal
chromatic
aberration
is
also
called
dispersion
and
is
caused
by
the
different
indices
of
refraction
for
each
color
of
light.
As
a
result,
the
image
lacks
sharpness
and
in
color
photography,
there
is
a
fringing
effect.
In
lateral
chromatic
aberration,
image
magnification
changes
with
wavelength,
producing
a
blurred
image
similar
to
the
type
caused
by
longitudinal
chromatic
aberration.
Stopping
down
the
lens
has
only
a
limited
effect
on
these
aberrations.
Spherical
aberration
is
caused
because
the
lens
is
round
and
the
film
is
flat.
Light
entering
the
edge
of
the
lens
is
more
severely
refracted
than
light
entering
the
center
of
the
lens.
This
results
in
a
blurred
image,
and
also
causes
flare
(non-image
forming
internal
reflections).
Stopping
down
the
lens
minimizes
spherical
aberration
and
flare,
but
introduces
diffraction.
Astigmatism
in
a
lens
causes
a
point
in
the
subject
to
be
reproduced
as
a
line
in
the
image.
The
effect
becomes
worse
towards
the
corner
of
the
image.
Stopping
down
the
lens
has
very
little
effect.
Coma
in
a
lens
causes
a
circular
shape
in
the
subject
to
be
reproduced
as
an
oval
shape
in
the
image.
Stopping
down
the
lens
has
almost
no
effect.
Distortion,
whether
pincushion
or
barrel
type,
is
caused
by
differences
in
magnification
from
the
center
toward
the
edges
of
the
image.
Stopping
down
the
lens
has
no
effect
at
all.
Curvature
of
Field
is
the
inability
of
the
lens
to
produce
a
flat
image
of
a
flat
subject.
The
image
is
formed
instead
on
a
curved
surface.
If
the
center
of
the
image
is
in
focus,
the
edges
are
out
of
focus
and
vice
versa.
Stopping
down
the
lens
has
a
limited
effect.
All
Canon
EF
lenses
are
very
highly
corrected
for
these
aberrations,
resulting
in
unsurpassed
image
quality.
In
particular,
we
are
well-known
for
extensive
use
of
aspherical
lenses,
floating
element
design,
Calcium
Fluorite
and
Ultra-Low
Dispersion
Glass,
especially
in
the
professional
L-Series.

How can I fine-tune exposures using the Quick Control Dial on the Canon EOS-1?

To fine-tune exposures using the Quick Control Dial on the Canon EOS-1, follow these steps: 1. Adjust the f/stop and shutter speed in 1/3 step increments using the Quick Control Dial to fine-tune your exposure accurately. 2. Utilize the Quick Control Dial in AE modes like Intelligent Program, Shutter Priority, and Aperture Priority to bias your exposures up or down without switching modes. 3. Take advantage of stepless accuracy by turning the Quick Control Dial to manually choose your preferred settings. 4. Enhance handling by attaching the optional Power Booster for additional shutter release and AE Lock button. 5. Use the Custom Function Controls on the EOS-1 to personalize basic camera operations to suit your shooting style. Choose features like canceling autorewind, switching control of shutter speed and aperture settings, and more.

How do I use Automatic Bracketing on the Canon EOS-1 and set the degree of bracketing for different exposures?

To use Automatic Bracketing on the Canon EOS-1 and set the degree of bracketing for different exposures, follow these steps: 1. Access the menu on your Canon EOS-1 camera. 2. Navigate to the "Exposure Compensation/AEB Setting" option. 3. Select the "Automatic Exposure Bracketing (AEB)" setting. 4. Choose the number of shots you want to take for bracketing (usually 3 or 5 shots). 5. Set the exposure increment for each shot (e.g., 1/3 EV, 1/2 EV, or 1 EV). 6.
