The focus assist lamp on this Canon PowerShot S50 is located above the lens and beside the flash. It serves a double purpose. Firstly it fires a beam of patterned white light in low light situations which helps the auto focus system to get a lock.
Auto focus assist lamp
Digicams can be equipped with two kinds of autofocus. Active autofocus cameras emit an infrared beam which is reflected by the subject so the camera can focus on it.
Lamp Housing
The main part of the enlarger, or the enlarger head, starts from the top with the lamp housing. This is where the light source is. The source can be either incandescent or fluorescent, and there is (have been?

Focus Assist Lamp -Lamp that assists in achieving focus where other cameras would fail. This is done by illuminating the object.
Focal Length - Distance from the lens to the film.

An infrared beam that the camera fires to assist in auto focusing.
LED - an electronic lamp device.

In other words, the base of the negative (the shiny side) should be up or facing the lamp when inserted into the enlarger. Clean the negative and be sure there is no dust on it. You can use the light from the enlarger to check for dust.

Many EOS cameras contain some sort of light-producing lamp which helps the autofocus system in low light conditions. The best kind of AF assist light is a bright red LED which projects a series of patterned lines.
This type of scanner will have 1200 sensors per linear inch but can move the scanning lamp and head or document at 2400 increments per inch. Scanners rated like this have an optical resolution of 1200 dpi and a 'mechanical' resolution of 2400 dpi.
In a darkened studio, I placed a studio flash inside a softbox and took advantage of the ambient light produced by the modeling lamp in conjunction with the more powerful flash.
The better solution is a head lamp, and the biggest name in head lamps is Petzl, a company that specializes in extreme outdoor gear.
The only function of the modeling lamp is to give you an indication of the effect that the flash will have-it doesn't affect the actual exposure at normal flash shutter speeds.
Have you ever noticed the lamp growing out of Aunt Edna's head in the snapshot from last Christmas? Or what about the great picture of you, your boyfriend and the bright white ceiling on prom night?
A camera-mounted flash gives you lighting similar to a coal miner’s helmet lamp. But, if you’re using a 35 mm film or digital SLR, sliding a flash unit into your camera’s hot shoe is so, so easy.
There are two types of reflectors - lamp and board. Lamp reflectors fit onto the flash unit and help control the light coming from the lamp.
Normally consisting of simply a flash tube and pilot lamp that shines continuously to enable the user to check the exposure, they have no automatic metering system and must be adjusted manually.
No ceiling light or table lamp can be as bright as the sun, so you will almost always have to add more light with a flash.
If you are shooting indoors, you likely have the choice of shooting with or without a flash, near a window, lamp, or overhead light, or you may have access to specialized lamps and reflectors.
If you took one of those slides or a section of that filmstrip and held it up between a lamp and the wall, the light from the lamp would not project any kind of meaningful image onto the wall. At best you would see vague patches of colorful light.
An enclosed darkroom lamp fitted with a filter to screen out light rays to which film and paper are sensitive. Light source consisting of housing, lamp and screen of a colour that will not affect the photographic material in use.
Photo above: Notice how the wall fixture is lit while the lamp is off. This directional lighting aided on creating an atmosphere in the photo. Then, to add more color to the scene, I turned on the hall light which was a regular Tungsten bulb.
The color emitted from a tungsten lamp in your living room is identical to the yellow-white glow when the blackbody radiator temperature is approximately 3200? Kelvin. When the temperature rises to 5500?
This reflector looks like a bright umbrella with a lamp in the middle. Light generated by the lamp is reflected back via the umbrella to the desired object.
Next, it was time to set up the StarLite® lamp heads and SoftBoxes. When shooting reflective objects, the key is to place light sources in such a way that they help you sculpt highlights and shadows.
If functioning normally, this should result in the indicator needle or lamp to react differently as you toggle the shutter speed settings. If the needle or lamp gives no indication of change, this may be a malfunction.
A useful feature that reduces the lamp output to make the image gradually become darker on screen. This prevents the viewer from sudden bursts of light or dark as slides are changed and gives a more pleasing transition from one slide to the next.
In taking an informal portrait by a window in a pub, for instance, you might have daylight from a window, a lamp on a nearby wall, and a candle at the table.
Similarly, a table lamp that is turned on will cast warm light on the surface of the table on which it sits and the objects in the immediate vicinity.
Expose via your enlarger lamp for a couple of seconds (again, you will need to experiment - every negative is different)

Taking the DIY approach, you’ll need a perspex sheet, workbench and table lamp. The workbench is to secure the perspex in a safe, secure horizontal position. Once you’re happy with that, place the table lamp underneath it.
Black and white printing paper is relatively insensitive to red light so safelighting usually takes the form of a lamp covered with a coloured filter. The colour will depend on the paper you are using and will be marked on the papers packaging.
Fill-in
Light from an additional lamp, flash, or reflector; used to soften or 'fill in' the shadows caused by the brighter main light, often the Sun. Called fill-in flash when flash is used.
(see Reflector) ...
The discharge tube is a lot like a neon light or fluorescent lamp. It consists of a tube filled with xenon gas, with electrodes on either end and a metal trigger plate at the middle of the tube.
The tube sits in front of the trigger plate.
Expose a sheet of paper for the time T; develop it for 50 seconds; turn on a 100- watt lamp about four feet over the tray for about three seconds, and continue developing for another minute.
One good way to give yourself extra support is to lean against a tree or sturdy lamp post, bracing yourself in this way and locking your arms tight into your body can get you a reasonably sharp exposure at 1/15 sec or even down to 1/4 sec.
Measured in terms of 'degrees Kelvin', daylight (mid-day) is approximately 5600-degrees Kelvin, a candle is approximately 800-degrees, an incandescent lamp is approximately 2800-degrees, a photoflood lamp is 3200 - 3400-degrees, ...
The longer the focal length the more jumps the church (background object) towards the lamp - the perspective gets COMPRESSED. On the other hand the wide and especially the ultra-wide angle setting moves it away thus creating DEPTH.
Check to see that the lamp can hold the weight of your camera by placing it on the lamp and seeing how the lamp's stem responds.

Amateur or Pro, regardless of the light source from sun to candle to table lamp, an efficient silver reflector takes the impossible image and makes it possible; takes the lackluster image and makes it rich and vibrant.
Condenser Enlarger: An enlarger using one or more glass condenser lenses between the lamp and film plane to provide a focused and even distribution of light.
At first glance, the images appear identical, but upon close examination it becomes clear that the 80a image shows no purple fringing around the overexposed desk lamp, and a little bit more shadow detail.
Can you open some blinds and let in natural light or bring a lamp nearby for better lighting? Take some shots to determine what gives you the best light.
