Another name for a shift lens that has a sliding front panel so the lens can be raised or lowered from its normal position to correct for verticals when shooting from high or low angles.

Perspective control can be a powerful compositional tool in photography, and often determines one's choice in focal length (when one can photograph from any position).
Perspective Control Correcting in an image editing program or composing to eliminate the distortion that occurs in a photograph because the flat surface of the camera's sensor (or, in the case of a film camera, the film plane) is not parallel to ...
Perspective Control Lens: A wide angle lens design featuring optics that can be shifted to correct for converging vertical lines, inherent in wide angle lenses.
Perspective control lens. A special lens that allows correcting distortion resulting from a high or low camera angle. < ...

Perspective control. Also known as tilt or shift lenses. Lenses that allow for correction of linear distortion resulting from high or low camera angle. Most are with gear or sliding mechanism and most require manual metering.

I also use the perspective controls in PSCS3 to correct distortion and correct any color fringing and vignetting. Perspective corrections have a use beyond the obvious architectural applications.
A Speed or Crown Graphic press camera (at the expense of movements, not a good choice if you are interested in perspective control or depth of field control.
However other techniques such as composition, perspective control, a photographer's eye, etc. are equally important. Exposure is the technical aspect, the other is artistic aspect of getting the perfect picture.
Next would be new versions of PC (perspective control) and particularly TS (tilt/shift) lenses. The current 85mm tilt/shift PC is an excellent lens, but what about wider angles? The 28mm PC and 35mm PC lenses are now ancient.
Many architectural shooters buy specialty tilt-shift or perspective control lenses, which allow for wide-angle shots with almost no distortion. They're also quite expensive.

A specialized lens for architectural photography, with perspective control through barrel lateral shifting relative to the film or sensor plane, eliminating the need for the camera to be tilted, to maintain vertical lines parallel, ...

Prontor/Compur. The clip on socket of the flash mode terminal. 2) Perspective control. Also known as tilt or shift lenses. Lenses that allow for correction of linear distortion resulting from high or low camera angle.
These kinds of controls (sometimes erroneously called "perspective control", since they don't actually change the perspective—that can only be done by moving the entire camera with respect to the subject), enable the photographer, for example, ...
With all of the digital techniques available for altering depth of field (as well as perspective control), do you still find tilt/shift lenses useful? Helicon Focus seems to solve so many depth-of-field issues.

In this digital photography tutorial video we explore one of the most important subjects in photography - composition. This episode takes a look at perspective control, and how we can use it to create or reduce depth in our images by lens choice.
Some of the other features in the retouch menu are Image Overlay, Small Picture, NEF (RAW) Processing, Straighten, Color Balance and Perspective Control.
I use a Phase One body primarily for three-dimensional objects; we also have a Sinar p3 view camera for paintings or for perspective control. And we have Canon DSLRs for smaller-format work, but more for publicity and portraiture.
of your screen from this position, the image the camera would record would be sideways. (For more information about understanding relative positioning in your photography, search the internet or local library for articles on perspective control.) ...
