Question:

What are the lens options and the minimum focus lengths for the Photon? What is the range of focus? Is it possible to adjust the focus of Photon lenses manually?

1 Field of View describes the angular measure of a scene imaged with the given pixel array, expressed as degrees in horizontal by vertical directions.
2 Instantaneous Field of View is the angular measure of a single pixel. Small angles are usually measured in milliradians. The IFoV is the pixel size (in microns) divided by the lens focal length
3 Hyperfocal distance is the distance beyond which all objects are acceptably sharp, for a lens focused at infinity.
4 Hyperfocal depth of field is the zone of acceptable sharpness. Increasing the depth of field increases the sharpness of an image. Smaller apertures (higher f/numbers) increase the depth of field.
5 Coating Type for 35mm and 50mm configurations of Photon 640 will be High Durability, not Hard Carbon.
