7. Adjusted to take into account the amount of light that is lost - dissipated - or absorbed by that particular lens






8. To alternate between two or more scenes when editing a sequence






9. Two-thirds of the depth range along the z-axis is behind the focus point and one-third is in front of the focus point

15. Adjusting the optical center away from the focal plane and therefore increasing the magnification power of the lens (telephoto)






16. The ability of a lens to gather light is determined by the largest possible f-stop of that particular lens (a fast lens can open up to allow more light than a slow lens)
