Angle of View
The area of a scene that a lens can cover. The focal length of the lens determines the angle of view.
Angle of View
Angle of View is the amount of a scene a photograph captures and can be measured vertically, horizontally or diagonally.
Angle of view
Techniques Glossary Angle of view
The amount of a distant scene that can be viewed using a camera lens. This varies with the focal length of the lens and film format.
The angle of view of a lens is the angular extent of the area that is photographed - the angle from one edge of the photo to its opposite edge. The wider a lens, the greater its angle of view.
As the angle of view changes, so too will the expanse of background you will see behind your subject. With a wide angle lens, you will see a vast amount of whatever is back there. With the narrow angle of view of a telephoto you will see less.
-Comparison of angle of view on camera lenses. perspective, increases the apparent distance between subject planes, and may introduce image distortion. As the focal length increases, the image gets bigger and the angle of view becomes smaller.
Note how, with each increase in focal length, our angle of view becomes progressively narrower. This naturally restricts how much of the background is visible in each shot.
Angle of view refers to how much of a setup the lens covers. Shorter focal length lenses have a wide-angle view that captures a wide expanse of a setup.
Angle of View
The Angle of View is the width of a subject as seen through a lens. It is typically stated in relation to the diagonal length of an image.
Angle Of View The area of a scene that a lens covers or sees. Angle of view is determined by the focal length of the lens.
Angle of view. The amount of a scene that can be recorded by a particular lens; determined by the focal length of the lens.
Adapter. Used to insert a smaller storage device into a larger slot in a computer or other device.
Angle of view
Angle of view is determined by the focal length of the lens. A wide-angle lens includes more of the scene than a normal (standard lens) or telephoto lens.

Angle of View
The angle accepted by a lens or meter which depends upon its Focal Length and the camera Aperture (commonly, the horizontal angle).
Angle of View - The angle of view is calculated by the focal length of the lens and the size of the image sensor. Consumer digicam focal lengths are usually stated in terms of their 35mm film equivalents.
ANGLE OF VIEW - Also known as the "Field of view," "FOV" and the "Angle of the field of view", it is the extent of the view taken in by a lens. The focal length of a lens, in conjunction with film size, determines the angle of view.

Angle of View See Picture Angle. Anti-Aliasing An optical process that samples the edges of an image to fill in the missing areas that cause a jagged appearance.
Angle of View
Early LCD monitors suffered from a shallow angle of view—the colors in your photos changed depending on your position relative to the monitor.
angle of view
that portion of a subject which is seen by the camera lens, as determined by the focal length of the lens.
Angle of view Edit
In general, the shorter the focal length of the lens, the wider it's angle of view. It's much easier to get very wide angle lenses for film cameras than for digital, unless you are talking about very expensive digital cameras.
"Angle of View" vs "Focal Length"
For a non-distorting lens, the angle of view at non-macro distnaces is given by:
Angle of View = 2 * arctan (film dimension / (2 * Focal Length)) ...
Angle Of View - The area of a scene that is captured by a lens, such as normal, telephoto or wide-angle.
...
Angle of view - is the maximum angle of acceptance of a lens which is capable of producing an image of usable quality on the film.
Left: Approximate angle of view of a 200mm lens on 35mm (main image) and that of a digital SLR (inside the box). ...
If the P5100 were capable of producing raw files, had a better viewfinder (which is a fault of all of these - why can't we have a wider angle of view and some parallax lines so we can really use these?) and a more robust processing engine, ...
Whether a camera lens is seen as wide-angle or tele is dependent on its Angle of View (AoV); for a particular image size AoV is dependent on focal length.
Focal Length Though technically focal length is focusing distance, when dealing with camera lenses, what this figure designates is the angle of view or magnification of the lens. The bigger the focal length, the more magnified the image.
The size, curvature and positioning of the elements determine the focal length and angle of view of a lens. Normal Lens: Any lens that produces an image in the view finder that is the same as what the eye sees is known as an a normal lens.
50mm provides a normal view or about the same angle of view of the human eye. 28mm gives a slightly wider view without too much lengthening of perspective.
I think this article is lacking any information on angle of view. For example, consider a 35mm format (24mm x 36mm) compared with APS-C (14.9mm x 22.3mm). Both sensors have the same aspect ratio, 2:3.
Standard lenses offer angle of view nearly equivalent to that of the human eye for general photography.
Since the angle of view of a lens depends on both the focal length of the lens and the size of the image you can define a "digital multiplier", ...
We use a standard lens to mimic the human angle of view. We find it easier to accept these pictures with our subconscious mind as depicting reality, since we are used to this angle. Our own vision correlates well.
If a flat port was used, the angle of view would be compressed and optical problems introduced.
Angle Of View
Term used to describe how much a lens 'sees'. Measured in degrees.
Anti Red-eye Facility
Feature found in most cameras which reduces red-eye by firing a series of weak pre-flashes before the final flash exposure is made.
Focal length determines both the magnification of and image, as well as the angle of view. Angle of view is the width of the image.
Also known as Magnification Factor, this term is used to describe the angle of view of a lens used on a DSLR in terms of how it would appear on a full-frame 35mm camera.
If this doesn't sound like an intuitive way of working out the angle of view, ...
A spot meter measures reflected light within a narrow angle of view of only one degree. Digital cameras often feature a spot meter, but the angle of view varies, depending on the focal length of the lens used.
Why not indicate the angle of view taken in by each lens instead? Well, partly for historical reasons and partly for practical reasons.
WIDE ANGLE LENS- The normal angle of view of the human eye is approximately equivalent to a 50mm lens. That is, if you stood without moving your eye, the portion of the scene from left to right that is in your "normal" view.
A fisheye lens uses an angle of view up to 180 degrees. The angle distorts the photograph so the four sides appear to be farther away.
Teleconverter. A teleconverter attaches between the camera and another lens.
The main difference between this photo and the single nail is of course the angle of view, this one is straight down to the wood allowing me to get the whole frame in sharp focus.
Focal length dictates the angle of view. The longer the focal length, the narrower the angle of view. Wide-angle lenses have short focal lengths typically 20mm, 24mm, and 35mm.
In situations where there's sufficient parallax between foreground and background elements, by varying your angle of view, ...
The angle of view when using this lens is much wider than that of the human eye, so you'll cram much more into your picture.When using a wide-angle lens, get down low and look for striking elements that can add dramatic foreground interest.
Focal Length - A lens' angle of view, most commonly indicated as wide angle, normal or telephoto. Usually compared to a 35mm camera's lenses as in "the camera has a wide angle lens equivalent to a 38mm lens on a 35mm camera." See also "Zoom Lens" ...
To contrast, a panorama picture needs many frames to cover the same angle of view. In other words, I can capture all the glory of a breathtaking view with a wide-angle lens and display it on my PC monitor.
Close-focus distance: Very very close, at just under 1 inch from the lens. The lens is capable of focusing inside the dome port.
Angle of view: 180 degrees diagonal angle of view
Filters: Gel filters accepted at the rear of the lens ...
Fisheye lens
Is a extreme wide angle lens with an angle of view exceeding 100° and sometimes in excess of 180°. Depth of field is practically infinite and focusing is not required.

A short focal length, such as 28mm, will have a wider angle of view compared to the tight or telephoto focal length of a large 300mm lens.
Describes an extreme wide-angle lens that has an angle of view exceeding 100° - sometimes more than 180° - and that renders a scene as highly distorted.
Focal Length ...
—the angle of view increases. In other words, the lens is able to include more in the picture. Extreme wide angle lenses have unique perspectives, and they exaggerate the graphic design in a shot dramatically.
Fisheye Lens Ultra-wide angle lens providing a near 180 angle of view. Fisheye lens produces a rectangular image fitting inside the circle, with highly distorted scene elements.
Fisheye Lens: An extreme wide angle lens. Most fisheye lenses cover a 180 degree angle of view, popular focal lengths include 6, 8 and 14mm. The 6mm and 8mm lenses produce a circular image on the film. (not full frame) ...
