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 or image senso [..]

The angle accepted by a lens or meter which depends upon its Focal Length and the camera Aperture (commonly, the horizontal angle). Answer Print, Trial Print (film) One of the early lab attempts (typically there are two or three) to combine picture and sound. It is also the time for light and color correction and exploration; the time when all your [..]

This is the size of the field covered by a lens, measured in degrees. However, because of the aperture masks in film, the angle of view for a given lens is generally described in terms of the height a [..]

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. For digital SLR cameras with interchangeable lenses it's more difficult as different cameras have different size sensors. Anti-aliasing

The maximum scene angle that can be seen through a lens. Aperture

The scene angle that a video camera lens can show on the monitor, like Diagonal Angle, Horizontal Angle and Vertical Angle, usually described in degree.

This is calculated by the focal length of the lens and the size of the image sensor. The 35mm equivalents differ according to the sensor size.

The maximum angle a lens covers in the field. Measured in degrees, and qualified by terms such as wide-angle, normal, and telephoto. A wide angle lens has a wider angle of view than a telephoto lens. A 135mm lens on a 35mm SLR covers an 18-degree angle of view; a 28mm lens covers a 75-degree angle of view.

The amount of scene taken in by a particular lens focal length. A short focal length has a wide angle of view, so you can photograph more of the scene than would be able with a long focal length, which has a narrow angle of view. Auto exposure:

The angular extent of the image captured by the image sensor.

Also known as viewing angle, this refers to the angular range available within a certain image size.  The smaller the focal length, the wider the angle of view is.

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 amount of a scene taken in by a particular lens focal length. Short focal lengths have a wide angle of view, allowing you to photograph a larger portion of the scene than long focal lengths, which [..]

For security cameras, this refers to the angular range in degrees that you can focus the camera on without distorting the image. When focusing close up, you can generally see a wide angle of view. If the focus is distant, the angle of view is smaller or narrower.

May be expressed in Diagonal, Horizontal or, Vertical. Smaller focal lengths give a wider angle of view.

The angular range that you can focus the camera without distorting the image. Smaller focal lengths will give a wider 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. A larger angle of view (on wide angle lenses) shows the viewer more things and space, but they appear smaller. Conversely, a small angle of view (on telephoto lenses) shows the viewer less things and space, but [..]

The maximum angle between rays of light passing through the lens from those parts of the subject which will just be included within the picture format. Usually quoted as the angle given by the diagona [..]

The area of a scene that a lens covers or sees. Angle of view is determined by the focal length of the lens. A wide-angle lens (short-focal-length) includes more of the scene-a wider angle of view-than a normal (normal-focal-length) or telephoto (long-focal-length) lens. It can also be explained as the extent of the view taken in by a lens. It vari [..]

Determined by the focal length of the lens, the angle of view is the area of a particular scene that a lens covers, or, what the lens can “see”. See different lens types below. The angle of view is measure in horizontal and vertical degrees.

For security cameras, this refers to the angular range in degrees that you can focus the camera on without distorting the image. When focusing close up, you can generally see a wide angle of view. If [..]

Angle of view relates how much of a particular subject area will be captured by a particular lens focal length. A lens with a short focal length will have a wide angle of view and will allow you to capture a larger section of the scene than would be possible with a lens of a longer focal length (and shorter angle of view).

The amount of space captured by a lens. The angle of view is determined by the combination of sensor size and focal length.

Angle between the axis of observation and perpendicular to the specimen surface.
