35mm camera (noun) - aparat 35mm
a camera using 35mm wide film

35mm equivalent focal length (noun) - ekwiwalent ogniskowej 35 mm
a way to describe the focal length of a camera by stating the focal length of a 35mm camera that produces the same field of view

APS camera (noun) - aparat ASP
Advanced Photo System camera having a different film size and therefore different field of view from a 35mm camera for the same focal length

barrel distortion (noun) - tystorsja beczkowata
a type of image distortion in a rectilinear projection where scale increases with increasing distance from the center of the image.

brightness falloff (noun) - zanikanie jasności
a gradual reduction in image brightness with increasing distance from the center of the image.

cylindrical projection (noun) - projekcja cylindryczna

digital camera (noun) - aparat cyfrowy
a camera using a digital sensor instead of film

digital SLR (noun) - lustrzanka cyfrowa
a digital singlle-lens reflex camera, usually having interchangeable lenses

equirectangular projection (noun) - projekcja prostokątna
see http://mathworld.wolfram.com/EquirectangularProjection.html

exposure (noun) - ekspozycja
the amount of light reaching the imaging surface (film or digital sensor).

focal length (noun) - długość ogniskowa
distance from center of projection to the imaging surface (film or digital sensor); an inherent attribute of a camera's lens

focal length multiplier (noun) - mnożnik ogniskowej
a multiplicative factor that relates the focal length of a camera to the focal length of a 35mm camera that produces the same field of view

HFOV (noun) - HFOV
horizontal field of view, usually expressed in degrees

pixel (noun) - piksel
a single dot in a digital image

rectilinear projection (noun) - prostoliniowa projekcja
the projection produced by a conventional camera; also called gnomic projection, see

rotational camera (noun) - aparat obrotowy
a type of panoramic camera in which the entire camera rotates as the film is pulled through the camera, painting the image through a slit onto a curved film plane and producing a cylindrical projection

sensor (noun) - sensor światłoczuły
light sensitive device that captures a digital image

swing lens camera (noun) - aparat z obrotowym obiektywem
a type of panoramic camera in which the lens rotates from side to side, painting the image through a slit onto a curved film plane and producing a cylindrical projection

telephoto converter, tele converter (noun) - telekonwerter
an adaptor that increases the focal length of another lens, decreasing the field of view

VFOV (noun) - VFOV
vertical field of view, usually expressed in degrees

wide angle converter (noun) - konwerter szerokokątny
an adaptor that reduces the focal length of another lens, increasing the field of view
