Back Focus
Back Focus, in the field of photography and optics, refers to the distance between the rear element of a lens and the image sensor or film plane when the lens is focused on infinity. This distance is critical in determining the sharpness and clarity of an image, especially when using telephoto lenses or shooting at wide apertures. A correct back focus adjustment ensures that the image projected by the lens is focused precisely on the image sensor or film plane, resulting in sharper and more detailed photographs. Back focus can be affected by a number of factors, including the design and construction of the lens, the camera body, and the mounting system used to attach the lens to the camera. In some cases, a camera or lens may require adjustment to achieve proper back focus, which can be done using specialized tools and techniques. One common issue that can arise with back focus is front focus, which occurs when the lens focuses in front of the intended subject. This can be caused by a misalignment of the lens or camera, or by a defect in the lens itself. Conversely, back focus occurs when the lens focuses behind the intended subject, resulting in a soft and blurry image. In order to achieve optimal back focus, it is important to carefully calibrate both the lens and camera body, and to test the focus accuracy under a variety of shooting conditions. This may involve using specialized software or hardware tools to analyze the sharpness and clarity of test images, and making adjustments to the lens or camera as needed.

Back Focus
Back Focus is a technique used in anime, comics and manga to create a sense of depth in the visual composition. It is based on the principle of optical illusion, playing with focus and attention by creating a strong contrast between background and foreground elements. To create this effect, the illustrator will use objects, lines and color to define the focus of the composition. A deep, almost three-dimensional effect is created when lines and movement of a character in the foreground are offset from the immobile elements of the background. This sense of depth helps add a sense of realism to the artwork, and allows for a greater level of detail in the viewing experience.
