Image plane
The area inside the camera where the object is focused clearly. The image plane can be compared to the film plane in analogue cameras; the difference being that the film is replaced by the CCD chip.

 


Image plane
Is the plane commonly at right angles to the optical axis at which a sharp image of the subject is formed. The nearer the subject is to the camera, the greater the lens image plane distance.

Dust on the image plane is a constant issue for photographers. DSLR cameras are especially prone to dust problems because the sensor is reused for every shot, where a film SLR will effectively have a new "sensor" slid into place for every shot.

The latter has a flat image plane where the resolution is quite constant across the entire focal plane. The eye is not like that at all. It has a motion sensor that covers nearly 180 degrees of horizontal vision.

(e) A pinhole camera may have a flat or curved film or image plane. If the film plane is flat, there will be some light fall-off or vignetting at the corners in a wide-angle or ultra wide-angle pinhole camera.

Also, the magnification (physical size of the fence) at 28mm would have been considerably less on the image plane in the 10D too.

IMAGE PLANE-The plane in which the image lies or is formed It is perpendicular to the axis of the lens. A real image formed by a converging lens would be visible upon a screen placed in this plane.

Digital single lens reflex cameras (DSLRs) combine the advantages of SLRs with those of digital cameras since they have an image sensor instead of a film in the image plane, and a digital image memory.

This program also calculates the maximum theoretical image resolution in the focused image plane (using diffraction theory) so you can see what stopping WAY down would do to your image, ...

Raster layers consist of an array of mathematically defined pixels, where each pixel describes a unique point on the image plane. The “Background' layer in flattened Photoshop files is always a raster layer.

System of moving the lens in relation to the image plane so as to obtain the required degree of image sharpness on the sensor or film.

This bracket system changes the rotation point from the image plane to the lens' nodal point. The nodal point is simply that point within the lens where the light rays cross as they pass through the optical system.

Spherical aberration
A lens fault which causes loss of image definition at the image plane. Its affects are reduced by stopping down.

The focal length of a simple symmetrical lens, is the distance between the image plane (e.g. the film) and the middle of the lens, when light from infinity is brought to a focus.

to pros, most of them focus down to 1:1 (life-size) without adapters, provide superior overall image quality and sharpness, as well as better flatness of field (the ability of a lens to provide critically sharp imaging over the entire image plane).

Depth of field is a term refers to the distance between nearest point and the farthest point in the subject that the main focus point remains "sharp" along a common image plane.

After mounting the camera to the monopod, Ben grabbed a stepladder and positioned it right next to the monopod. He then raised the camera up on the monopod rail, rotated the camera so that its image plane was nearly parallel to the shooting table, ...

in the lens through which the light travels to hit the image sensor (or film frame). The aperture controls the amount of light that hits the image sensor and determines that conical angle of light rays that come to a focus point on the image plane.

They helped him reproduce rich detail and color that the drab ambient light had sucked out of the scene. His lights would also clearly define the fore- and mid-ground, helping to add depth and dimension. Here's how he handled each image plane: ...

Digital image sensors, however, don't fare as well - they work best when the light striking the sensor is precisely perpendicular to the image plane.

The distance from the optical center of a lens to the image plane when the lens is focused to infinity.
