Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 In optics and photography , infinity focus is the state where a lens optics lens or other optical system forms an image of an object an infinite distance away. This corresponds to the point of focus for Parallel geometry parallel ray optics rays . The image is formed at the Focus optics focal point of the lens. In practice, not all photographic lens es are capable of achieving infinity focus by design. A lens used with an adapter for close up focusing, for example, may not be able to focus to infinity. Failure of the human eye to achieve infinity focus is diagnosed as myopia . All optics are subject to manufacturing tolerances even with perfect manufacture, optical trains experience thermal expansion . Focus mechanisms must accommodate part variations even custom built systems may have some means of adjustment. For example, telescopes such as the Mars Orbiter Camera , which are nominally set to infinity, have thermal controls. Deviations from its operating temperature are actively compensated to prevent shifts of focus.

The person holding the focus mitts will typically call out combinations and feed the puncher good counter force while maneuvering and working specific skills. Focus mitts are often used as an augment to sparring, with more explicit focus on the puncher than the feeder, especially to develop good Punch strike punch combinations and defensive maneuvers such as slipping, bobbing and weaving. When wearing focus mitts it is important not merely to hold them but to actively feed them into the punches, to balance their force and prevent injury to both parties. Similar to a focus mitt but designed for different purposes are heavier thai pads used in muay thai boxing and kicking shields used in a variety of martial arts to help gauge distance and practice techniques with kicks, knees and elbows. Working with focus mitts It is often said that holding focus mitts can be as taxing as striking them. Typically, the person wearing the focus mitts will yell a number that represents a combination. For example, yelling three might signify that the striker should throw a jab, followed by a cross, followed by a hook in rapid succession. Defensive maneuvers are often incorporated into the combinations as well. Improving punching technique relies upon the person wearing the focus mitts knowing where to set his her hands, as well as knowing how to time the movement of the focus mitts. Typically the holder will comment on how the striker can improve his her technique between combinations.
