Glossary Of Photography Terms

Field of View Field of view (FOV) refers to the extent of the scene or subject that is visible through a camera lens at a given distance and focal length. It is determined by the lens focal length and sensor size, and it influences the perspective, framing, and composition of the captured image.
A wider field of view encompasses more of the scene within the frame, resulting in a broader perspective and greater depth of field, while a narrower field of view focuses on a smaller area of the scene, magnifying details and compressing spatial relationships. Field of view is an important consideration for photographers when selecting lenses and framing shots to achieve the desired visual impact and storytelling effect. |
