What does paraxial camera mean?

Paraxial camera, also known as paraxial camera, is named "paraxial camera" because its viewing optical axis is located next to the optical axis of the photographic lens and parallel to each other.

In the whole process of camera technology development, this kind of camera is the most diverse and structurally different, so it has the most cultural characteristics. From the world's first paraxial digital camera Epson R-D 1, to the famous Lulai double-reflex, and then to the excellent Leica products, they are all members of paraxial cameras. Therefore, paraxial camera is undoubtedly an important part of camera development.

Advantages of extended data paraxial camera

Paraxial camera is more convenient to carry because there is no module of reflector and pentaprism. The fuselage can be designed to be slightly thinner. In particular to a small automatic paraxial camera with a telescope head. Secondly, the camera body has little vibration and noise. Because there is no reflector, the vibration and obvious sound of the reflector are avoided when shooting, which is more conducive to shooting clear images by hand under the low-speed shutter.

Paraxial cameras don't give people a sense of oppression like professional SLR cameras. The small body of the paraxial camera can get a more natural shooting effect without any aggression.

Using paraxial camera to shoot, it is very suitable for street shooting and other humanistic themes. The last point is that the composition changes freely when the paraxial camera takes a view, which is not a field of vision with the lens. Instead, the field of view corresponding to the lens is intercepted through different borders. Therefore, when we make a composition, we can not only see the scenery in the actually shot picture, but also see the surrounding scenery, so as to quickly adjust the composition.
