What does camera focusing mean?

Camera fixed focus is a common concept in photography, which means that the focal length of the camera lens cannot be adjusted and only objects within the same distance can be photographed. Therefore, the use of fixed-focus lens requires the photographer to carefully select the appropriate shooting distance before shooting, so as to ensure that the subject can be clearly presented within the set focus range and give full play to the advantages of fixed-focus lens.

Camera focusing is different from zoom lens. There is no need to adjust the focal length, and the fixed-focus lens can obtain better imaging quality, especially the large-aperture lens, which has stronger background blur effect, can better highlight the subject and create a more artistic picture. Using the fixed-focus lens can also exercise the photographer's creativity, present different shooting effects through different shooting angles and composition methods, and add more expressiveness to the photos.

Generally speaking, camera focusing is widely used in photography. Although there are some limitations in use, the fixed-focus lens can provide better imaging effect, stimulate more creative inspiration, and make photographers who want to take more artistic photos. When shooting different scenes such as landscapes, buildings and people, it is also a common means for photographers to choose fixed-focus lenses with different focal lengths.
