Focus from camera: 3 m. You are focusing on the main subject.

LENS & CAMERA POSITION

Same framing at 50 mm

Place the camera about 3 m from the main subject. This matches the starting position.

Suggested position for the same sensor and subject size. Above, the photograph setup stays fixed; changing a lens alone does not move the camera.

Photographic cutouts in 3D space, not reconstructed solid objects. Distances come from the teaching model. Layer spacing and camera size are not to scale; use the labelled distances. AI gap filling plausibly reconstructs hidden areas; these are not verified image details. The lab photograph stays unchanged. Camera: example EOS R50; the lens shown on the body is illustrative.
