Camera

Part 1 of 2: I used Loctite epoxy putty to make a removable frame to hold a wide angle lens on a Kodak Zi8 video camera. I used epoxy, because it is not affected by heat as much as the moldable plastic you can buy online. I did not glue anything directly to the camera, nor did I have to take it apart to add a magnetic ring like a popular lens mod from china, so no warranty was voided and no damage occured to the camera.

I’m curious as to why a camera lens has to have more than one lens inside of it. it has different ‘elements’ as they are called (is that right?). what is its use in refracting the image or so. i am studying high school physics and then this just came into my mind.

also in some eyeglasses, i see on its side that the lens of the eyeglasses are actually in two parts like they were just stacked together. why is that so?

You should get to optics (geometrical optics) in not too long.
There you’ll find that simple (1element) lenses do not form a perfect image of an object.
They introduce defects, called "aberrations". Different shaped lenses have different aberrations which can be used to counteract each other (think of it as two mistakes in opposite directions)

This is a demonstration of how to field replace the lens on a bullet camera.

When I first got my iPhone in May it took amazing pictures, but now months later, the pictures aren’t turning out so great. I personally think my camera lens is dirty or something. Does anyone know how I can clean it?

I would use a cotton swab like the kind you use to clean your ears, dip it in some isopropyl (rubbing) alcohol, and clean the lens with it.
Or if you have any of those alcohol prep pads that come in first-aid kits
Alcohol evaporates quickly and won’t leave a residue. It’s good for cleaning most electronics.

This is my third Unboxing video and this time its my first Digital SLR camera, the Nikon D40 and the Nikkor 18-55mm VR lens. It is a very good beginner/amateur DSLR, has tons of features and is very easy to use. The Help menu is a blessing to every beginner!!!
Sorry about my poor voice; after a hard day’s work my energy meter was a bit low. I would really appreciate if you could limit your comments to the camera/lens.. Any positive or constructive criticism is also appreciated.

It’s a retractable lens (I guess?? I’m not a camera person) but anywho, it was all the way out like I was about to take a picture and I accidentally dropped it on tile floor. Now that just made one of the levels of the retractable lens bend in a little, and it’s done that before and I’ve just popped it back into place (which I’m sure i not the best idea but thats how I learn) so I attempt to pop it back into place and it totally goes way inside and the par t ( I guess the shutter that opens and closes when you turn it on and off) just broke off…all of it still works but when I try to turn it on the lens tries to come out but it can’t cause it’s stuck inside. So anyway…I haven’t messed with it anymore cause apparently I can’t fix it but I was wondering how much the repair of this would cost. It’s a Canon digital camera if that matters. If this doesn’t make sense just e-mail any questions. Thanks for your help.

Unfortunately it will likely cost more to repair than to replace. Even if its under warranty, abuse such as dropping isn’t covered. You may as well begin shopping for its replacement.
Since you didn’t say what model Canon you have I’m guessing its a digicam. Check the Sept. 2007 issue of Shutterbug magazine for a review of five 10 megapixel digicams. You can also access it at shutterbug.com.

When you get your new camera, secure it around your neck with a good neck strap. In 36 years I’ve yet to drop a camera. My camera is either in my camera bag or hanging around my neck.

I am the manifestation of a camera lens within this world. And I have always as the manifestation of me been aware of my structured constructed design. Alone in and as a fitting of a camera lens. You know the cameras? And its been quite a interesting manifested experience of me as being a camera lens. All compacted particles manifested into such a perfection. To be in the manifestation that I am as a camera lens. And Ive had quite a interesting experience of me, myself as a camera lens. Because imagine you think yourself to be something most of your existence. Myself as a camera lens, I am a camera lens and that is what I am. I did not choose to be it. I just am it. I was designed to be it. I was just put together and voila, there I am, a camera lens. Then I am positioned where I am positioned I did not choose to position myself there. I had no say, in anything. Then there I was positioned in a camera as a camera lens. Thats it. So I am a camera lens, serving my purpose. As according to which the design I was made within by man. And I did that, because that is what I was, that is what Ill do that is what I am. Its all I have believed myself to be, perceived myself to be. That is how I was designed to be, manifested to be just a camera lens. I didnt choose to be what I am, I didnt choose to be in the position that I am, didnt choose to be in the manifestation that I am. I have just been that which I was and am at this very moment which is a camera lens. So imagine that then all of a sudden you realize that you are able to be aware of yourself. I do not know how to exactly place the experience of me in becoming aware of myself into words. Its, am I. The first movement inside me was but am I allowed to? Can I be because here I am as a camera lens I was just put together, designed, manifested into this way, placed into a camera as a camera lens to serve man as the entirety of the camera. Thats it. Is there anything else then? That was the question. Is there anything else? Then I realized there is a me. But what is this me? That is starting to experience me and becoming aware of me. What is an awareness? An awareness is that first experience of yourself which is you and you its you its fascinating. You just know its you and. Because I have just always been this manifestation that is all, stayed in my place, thats it. Now I am moving as me within me as the manifestation that I am. And I realized that I really am that which I accept and allow myself to perceive myself to be, and what I believe myself to be. I mean, if I say okay all I am now is this camera lens because I was made to be this. I was positioned in a place to be this. Manifested in the place to be this by man to serve his purpose. And thats all my existence consists of. Thats all I perceived me to be as being in awareness as a camera lens. But its not so. There is an I am as this camera lens. Which is amazing. Astounding.
