Circle of confusion (also referred to as blur circle, disk of confusion and circle of indistinctness) refers to the effect of non-converging, unfocused light rays that have entered a lens.
Circles Of Confusion
Depth of field is a result of different parts of a scene coming into sharp focus at different points inside the camera.

CIRCLE OF CONFUSION.-A picture is basically an accumulation of many points that are exact images of points composing the subject. After light strikes a subject, it is reflected from many points on the subject.
Capturing A Natural Smile - Avoiding Confusion
When photographing people, the natural instinct when faced with a forced smile is all too often to tell the subject, "no, smile right." This just confuses your subject.

you give about uw photography, so far it is definetely the best site i saw around.
Confusion can arise if a two-bath developer in the high-pH group is assumed to belong to the low-pH group.
Confusion is common amongst a large group, so there's bound to be questions from some people. Don't hold back anything you're unsure of as it'll ultimately slow down the process.
La confusione e' data dal fatto che la fotografia e' piu' semplice da usare per un principiante per creare qualcosa che somigli ad un'immagine tecnicamente accettabile, nitida e ben esposta.
This confusion may come in because Canon only put ring USM drives into their midrange and pro (L series) lenses. You can't buy cheap Canon lenses with ring USM - only micromotor USM (see above).
[edit] Confusion between base and alkali
The terms "base" and "alkali" are often used interchangeably, since most common bases are alkalis.
To avoid confusion and repetition of terms, perhaps we could use the term 'point of interest' when talking about photographic composition.
See ehow.com for other uses of the term.
Circle of Confusion (mm):
Note: You need to enter a focusing distance (any) for the calculator program to compute the Hyperfocal Distance, which is independent of the focusing distance you enter.
Circle of confusion - All you need to know here is that this constant differs depending on the type of camera that you are using and is based on what is considered to be acceptable sharpness in an 8' x10' print seen at normal viewing distance.

Circle of confusion - disks of light on the image, formed by the lens from points of light in the subject. The smaller these disks are in the image the sharper it appears.
Circles of Confusion is an expression used to describe how light reflects off of objects in all directions. The camera lens focuses these "Circles of Confusion" into points onto the sensor.
CIRCLE OF CONFUSION
Since there is no critical point of transition, a more rigorous term called the "circle of confusion" is used to define how much a point needs to be blurred in order to be perceived as unsharp.
Circle of Confusion (COF)
Technically, only the subject in focus - and all other objects at the same distance - are in focus; everything else in front and behind are out of focus.
Circle of Confusion
The first concept to understand is that of the circle of confusion value. This is dealt with in some depth in the article on Digital Depth of Field, but to briefly recap: ...
Circle of Confusion
To understand DOF, it is necessary to understand the circle of confusion (CoC). Figure 3 shows a subject that is being photographed. The subject is at a distance from the lens (identified by the letter S in the diagram).
Circle of Confusion In photography, the circle of confusion (CoC) is used to determine the depth of field, the part of an image that is acceptably sharp. Find out more.
Circle of confusion
Disc of light in the image where a point on the subject is not perfectly brought into focus. The eye cannot distinguish between a very small circle of confusion and a true point.

CIRCLES OF CONFUSION - Points of light from a scene being photographed formed by the lens into discs of light. The smaller the discs ("circles of confusion") are, the sharper the image appears.
Circle of confusion
Any sufficiently small circle is indistinguishable to the human eye from a point.
There's lots of confusion here so I'll try to go slowly!
When you display a digital image on a monitor, the only thing that determines the size of the image is the pixel count and aspect ratio.
OK, maybe circle of confusion for digital is a bit confusing after all. The bottom line though is that it depends on how you want to compare things.
The term prime lens instead of saying "Fixed Focal Length Lens" is as incorrect as using the term Bokah for spectral circles of confusion a lens makes with its limited depth of field and the term high key photography for shooting on a white ...
One thing Adobe could change that would avoid some user confusion is the profile dialog under 'Camera Calibration' tab. If the Adobe designed camera profile for your camera model hasn't changed since ACR at 2.4 level, you'll see ACR 2.
Many words can be used to describe the same elements, which leads to confusion. Color is often used to describe hue, which is only one aspect of color. Color is the combination of three elements-hue, saturation and luminosity.
Among pros and advanced amateurs, there is massive confusion as to the role Kodak wants to play in their digital business.
Circle of confusion: Disks of light in the image produced by a lens from a point source of light. The smaller these discs, the sharper the image.
Close-up attachments: Attachments which allow lenses to focus closer than normal.

In order to avoid confusion, the name should be pronounced with the 'G', not like 'new'. There were several reasons for making GNU Unix-compatible.
There is a lot of confusion about the nature of cameras with the APS-C sensor size vs. cameras with 35mm sensor size.
Uncertainty was the norm, and confusion ruled. Fortunately, in this day and age, it is a question that can be dealt with directly.
There is some confusion as to what a macro lens is; True macro lenses operate from life size (1:1). The majority of lenses that focus from infinity down to half life size should be considered as 'close'focus' lenses.
â†' These calculations assume a maximum tolerable circle of confusion of 0.03mm and ignore diffraction; they are made at the DOFMaster depth of field calculator.

This may seem like a recipe for ongoing confusion, and indeed the choices that can be made could be overwhelming.
Let us first clear up a common confusion between ppi and dpi. Digital images are composed of samples that are displayed as pixels, so ppi (pixels per inch) refers to the number of pixels in an image. This is called display resolution.
In this column, I'll stick with image-processing workflow (the digital darkroom) because it carries the most confusion. I can't possibly give you all the techniques involved in each of these steps.
Ideally there should be no confusion between mirror effect and reflection. But an ordinary client cannot make out the obvious difference. A mirror effect needs understanding so that it can be applied to an image rightfully.
I understand the initial confusion. Here's the way I explain it in my workshops. Think of the "high resolution" shot that you originally recorded with your camera as your "digital negative.
Patterns formed in portions of a photographic image as a result of confusion between a pattern within the photographic scene and the pattern of pixels within the sensor.
Combinations can quickly cause confusion in the mind of the viewer and/or overwhelm your primary subject/focal point.
It is often said that you should avoid positioning the horizon in the centre of the frame as this can create confusion about what the focal point of the image is. Is it about the approaching storm, or the mountain range?
With the above being said, sometimes it’s good to not include a reference point as it’s the intent of the photographer to distort reality, create confusion, or simply try to make an abstract.

To add to the confusion, some digital cameras actually don't have an optical zoom lens yet it is mentioned as a camera with 3X zoom or 3X digital zoom.(See next section on Digital Zoom vs Optical Zoom).
The hyperfocal distance depends on focal length of the lens, the f-stop setting on the aperture and the so-called 'circle of confusion' - this oft-discussed but little understood term is essentially the margin of error of a lens within which a dot ...
Chances are some prankster (or you, in a bout of confusion) set something wrong. If you can't figure out what, simply reset your camera to its default settings. If you can't read the language, drag out your manual and start counting menu items.
