Terms that are necessary to know: • Vignetting is • Pincushion effect • Quantum mottle is • The _____of the II will always have the best resolution. • Lag is Image Quality
Terms that are necessary to know: • Vignetting is the loss of brightness at the periphery of the II due to the concave surface • Pincushion effect is the drop off at the edges of the II due to the curved surface • Quantum mottle is the grainy appearance on the image due to statistical fluctuations • The center of the II will always have the best resolution. • Lag is the blurry image from moving the II too fast Image Quality
