J Photo Man wrote: What's funny is that I would have thought a term called "focus breathing" would imply how your physical breathing was while taking a photo. Kind of like what snipers do when firing a rifle. But then I was reading an article about a camera and there was no explanation behind the term being used. I jumped on YouTube and found a video from Tony Northrup and he talks about it being the reduction in focal length the further you get away from infinity focus. Something that he refers only is affected with zoom lenses. Then I watched another video where they referred to focus breathing as when a contrast detect auto focus vibrates back and forth as it struggles to capture focus.
Both of these, 3 including my assumption of the definition are kind of scattered all over. What exactly does focus breathing mean?
