LOBORATORY ACTIVITY 6.1
Methods of Focusing
Describe how to determine focus by the following method.
 

1. Scale bed type or focusing scale

Scale focusing is the procedure whereby the

photographer estimates or measures the
distance to the subject, and sets the
camera's focusing ring or lever to the correct
distance.

2. Microprism or range finder type

SPLIT IMAGE

Split-Image, sometimes called a split image

rangefinder or Split-Prism, is an optical
focus-assistance device that displays an
image divided in two. When the image is
out of focus, the two halves of the image are
separated; when in focus, the halves line up
to form a single image. The split is often
horizontal, but sometimes diagonal.

CO - INCIDENT IMAGE
 A coincidence rangefinder or coincidence
telemeter is a type of rangefinder that uses
mechanical and optical principles to allow an
operator to determine the distance to a visible
object.

   

 
 

3. Ground Glass type

A ground glass is an element of many camera

viewfinder systems, for example reflex and
view cameras. A clear screen corresponding
to the size of the film or sensor is given a
finely-etched, frosted surface on one side. The
camera lens focuses its image onto this
surface, and the photographer views this from
the opposite side to evaluate focus and
framing. Because of this use, the term focus
screen is also used.
