Product Description
A complete optical systems design course for general optical engineers! The "first cut" design of an optical system -- anything from a telescope to a complicated VR helmet -- is usually not done by a specialist but by a more general optical engineer. This book details the basic design principles and techniques for doing so in a clear, concise, "low-math" way that such generalists will readily understand -- and appreciate. Practical, step-by-step coverage includes succinct equations, simple diagrams, and clear explanations. The chapter on selecting stock lens (to test a concept or to prove out a possible finished device) should be especially useful.

A complete optical systems design course for general optical engineers! Practical optical system layout. The ``first cut'' design of an optical system--anything from a telescope to a complicated VR helmet--is usually not done by a specialist but by a more general optical engineer. This book, drawn from the author's extensive seminar experience, details such basic design techniques in a clear, concise, ``low-math'' way that is sure to be readily accessible to anyone with a working knowledge of optics. It discusses the characteristics of a wide range of optical components, how to determine the type of components to be used, and how to arrange these components so that the system measures up to its performance objectives. Practical, step-by-step coverage includes succinct equations, simple diagrams, and clear explanations. For less experienced designers, the chapter on utilizing stock lenses (to test a concept or to prove out a possible finished device) should be especially useful.

This book is a good introduction to the art of optical design. It is an excellent first read for any student who wants to learn practical optics, avoiding heavy math and focusing mainly on real-life examples following simple reasoning backed up with essential formulas and calculations, which illustrate how to derive a preliminary design, before starting any optimisation with some optical software. Nowadays anyone could do optical design using powerful package like OSLO, Zemax or Code V, it is so easy to ask the program to find a solution for you, but without understanding the basic principles, it is just an illusion that one can really design an optical system.
If one really wants to invest time into optical design, at least they should cover fundamentals, and this book gives this foundation in a concise and comprehensive form (200 pages book is not a formidable brick). In terms of practical use, it is similar to Donald C. O’Shea’s book “Elements of Modern Optical Design”, which also contains a lot of sample calculations, yet examples given in both books are very different. “Elements of Modern Optical Design” covers more about exact ray traces and third order aberrations (which can be done with the use of an optical software), whereas “Practical Optical System Layout” covers mainly paraxial calculations and focuses on optical elements and their combinations to reduce particular type of aberrations. A deeper treatment of aberration theory can be found in “Modern Optical Engineering” book by the same author, and in particular for lens design in his outstanding, but more advanced book “Modern Lens Design”. Of course one may read introductions in Mellesgriot catalogue about different optical elements and their usage, but to get a systematic coverage of various concepts for optical design, this book is a good start.
This book is not complete enough for what it claims to be. A full time lens designer might find it useful as another opinion though.

Samsung’s TL500. We caught the bright, bulky beast bristling at PMA in front of a miniature 3D model of the Taj Mahal enclosed within a shadowy cube. The articulating display was indeed quite luminous, and as you can see from the sample shot, the flash-imbued capture is quite nice — same can’t be said sans flash in this instance, though. As for the TL350, we’re always a fan of the analog dials for battery and storage, and the 1,000 frames per second video recording was quite the treat. That said, at 138 x 78 resolution, it’s not practical, but the in-between burst shoots do lend themselves to some fun party tricks. Hardware shots just below, TL500 sample shot after the break.

I think it would be best to ask your question in the HP forums at You can ask pros and also interact with other HP users to answer and ask related questions. I go there for problems with my machine all the time and get the answer pretty quickly. You can also find and request drivers. Hope this helps. Good luck!

Good question. It's kind of like what is the difference in having a high self esteem and being arrogant. I think it's all about balance and common sense. Everyone has strengths and faults and the balance is in recognizing what those strengths and faults are. Then you can decide what to do with them.

Yes you can,

But I would rather invest the money on a new receiver.
optical zoom is the lens's focal length where as digital zoom is essentially just like cropping the photo. Something that can easily be done on the computer.
