    This document provides an overview of cameras, lenses, and concepts related to filming such as depth of field and hyperfocal distance. It discusses the main components of a camera including the shutter, gate, and viewing system. Lens topics covered are focus, depth of field, and the parameters like format size and aperture that affect depth of field. Depth of field can be reduced by using a larger format, wider aperture, longer focal length or reducing the focus distance. A table shows example hyperfocal distances for different f-stops using a 50mm lens and .001" circle of confusion.
