Reflex (Film)

A viewfinding system in a camera where the image you see in the viewfinder is viewed through the same lens that is used to photograph the image on film.

Reflex (Horse Health)

In general, muscle movement orchestrated by the nervous system in response to a stimulus and without conscious (voluntary) control; an example is the knee-jerk reflex.

Reflex (Medical)

An automatic, involuntary response of the nervous system to a stimulus

Reflex (Multiple Sclerosis)

An involuntary response of the nervous system to a stimulus, such as the stretch reflex, which is elicited by tapping a tendon with a reflex hammer, resulting in a contraction. Increased, diminished, or absent reflexes can be indicative of neurologic damage, including MS, and are therefore tested as part of the standard neurologic exam.

Reflex (Photography)

A reflex camera is one that utilizes a mirror system to reflect the light, and therefore the image, coming through the lens, to a visible screen. The image seen in the cameras viewfinder then is the same image entering the lens. This system provides the most accurate framing and focusing. Most reflex cameras reveal a high percentage of the image that will be photographed, upwards of 80%. Some reflex cameras are able to show 100% of the image frame into the viewfinder. The reflex system avoids the parallax problem that plagues most direct view cameras.
