Mode of Operation•  Manual zoom: The photographer needs to manually adjust the zoom ring or related devices on the lens to change the focal length, so as to close or push the subject. The photographer needs to rely on his own experience and judgment of the image to complete the zoom operation.•  Autozoom: Usually controlled by the camera's software system, without the photographer to manually operate the zoom device. The phase opportunity automatically adjusts the focal length according to the preset conditions or the detection of the shooting object. Principle•  Manual zoom: relying on the photographer to turn the zoom ring of the lens, changing the relative position of the lens inside the lens through the mechanical structure, thus changing the focal length of the lens.•  Autozoom: The software detects the sharpness of the photographed object, and then automatically adjusts the focal length parameters. For example, when targeting a person or an object, the phase opportunity is analyzed to determine the appropriate focal length. CharacteristicManual zoom• High flexibility: the photographer can accurately and freely control the zoom process and amplitude according to their own creativity and actual needs, to achieve a unique shooting effect.• Complex operation: the photographer needs to have certain photography knowledge and skills, be familiar with the zoom operation of the lens, and need to spend time and energy to adjust the focal length during the shooting process.The response speed depends on the photographer: if the photographer is skilled, he can complete the zoom quickly; but if not, the timing may be missed. Automatic zoom• Easy to operate: Convenient for users who are not familiar with photography or need to snap quickly, the camera can automatically zoom process without manually adjusting the focal length.• Adaptability: The camera can quickly and automatically adjust to the right focal length according to the characteristics of the scene and object, with an advantage in some emergency or quick response situations.• May not be accurate: Autozoom is based on the preset algorithm and detection mechanism of the camera, which may not be able to fully meet the personalized needs of the photographer, and may not achieve the desired zoom effect in some complex scenes. Applicable sceneManual zoom• Photography creation: in the need to accurately control the picture composition, to show specific creative effects, such as shooting close-up, creating special visual effects, manual zoom can make the photographer better realize their own ideas.• Static scene shooting: For relatively static scenes such as scenery and static life, the photographer has enough time to manually adjust the focal length to obtain the ideal picture effect.Automatic zoom•Capthe moment: in the shooting of sports scenes, animals, emergencies and other need to quickly capture the moment, autozoom can adjust the focus length in time, not miss the wonderful moment.•Daily records: For ordinary users' daily photo records, the convenience of autozoom can allow users to shoot the pictures they want.

Strategies to improve night shooting effects When night shooting effects are not good, you can indeed consider using additional fill lights to improve image quality. Here are some effective strategies and suggestions: The size of the aperture Directly affects the amount of light entering the camera, thereby affecting the night shooting effect. A larger aperture (such as F/2.0) can increase the amount of light inlet and improve image quality, but it can also cause overexposure during the day and glare problems when entering and exiting the tunnel. The function of fill light Fill light Fill light is an effective tool to improve night shooting effects.Most driving recorders are equipped with LED fill lights. By correctly installing and adjusting the angle, the light reflected by the windshield can effectively avoid affecting the shooting effect. Selecting camera configuration Selection of high resolution and high performance cameras can also significantly improve night shooting effects.For example, a 1296p ultra-high definition camera can provide clearer images.  Optimize light conditions. Try to choose a place with sufficient light to shoot to improve the quality of night shooting. At the same time, keep the lens clean and clean the dirt regularly to ensure that the light can fully enter. Shooting Tips When shooting night portraits, it is recommended to use a constant light source instead of a flash, because the constant light source can provide better control and more natural light effects. 

Overview of Optical LensesOptical lenses, also known as camera lenses or photography lenses, abbreviated as lenses, are an important branch of the optoelectronics industry and an indispensable component in machine vision systems. It is generally composed of precision hardware, plastic parts, lenses, apertures, drive motors, sensors, and other optical and electrical components, as well as a lens barrel. Optical lens is an important core component in optical imaging systems, which focuses the subject to be photographed onto film or image sensor chips by utilizing the principle of optical refraction. The resolution, contrast, and various aberrations of imaging are the standards for measuring the quality of optical lenses, which affect the quality of imaging, algorithm implementation, and effectiveness. Main parameters of optical lensesThe main parameters of optical lenses include focal length, viewing angle, aperture, resolution, etc. The focal length determines the magnification and field of view of the lens. The field of view refers to the range of scenes that the lens can capture. The aperture controls the amount of light entering the lens, while the resolution affects the clarity of the image. Classification of optical lensesOptical lenses can be classified according to different standards: Classified by focal length and viewing angleWide angle lens: With a viewing angle of over 90 degrees, it is suitable for capturing close range and wide range scenery, and can increase the spatial depth of the photographic image.Standard lens: With a viewing angle of around 30 degrees, it has a wide range of applications and is usually used for daily shooting.Telephoto lens: with a viewing angle of less than 20 degrees, the focal length can reach tens or hundreds of millimeters, suitable for capturing distant scenery.Zoom lens: The focal length of the lens is continuously variable, and the focal length can be changed from wide-angle to telephoto, providing greater flexibility.Pinhole lens: used for concealed observation, often installed in places such as ceilings or walls.Classified by structureFixed aperture fixed focus lens: simple structure, cheap price, but the aperture cannot be adjusted.Automatic aperture fixed focus lens: An automatic aperture adjustment function has been added to the fixed aperture fixed focus lens.Manual zoom lens: The focal length can be adjusted by manually adjusting the zoom ring of the lens.Automatic zoom lens: both focal length and aperture can be automatically adjusted, providing higher convenience. Electric three variable lens: aperture, focal length, and focus can all be adjusted, providing maximum flexibility.Application fields of optical lensesThe application fields of optical lenses are very wide, including mobile phones, cameras, car lenses, LiDAR, machine vision, AR/VR, etc. With the advancement of technology and the development of social economy, the application of optical lenses in these fields continues to expand and deepen, and the future will present a more intelligent development trend. In summary, optical lenses are complex and important optical systems, and their design and manufacturing have a crucial impact on imaging quality and application effectiveness. With the continuous advancement of technology, the design and production technology of optical lenses are also constantly developing to meet the growing market demand and technical requirements.
