Angle of view camera–subject distance to preserve the size of a subject, changing the angle of view can indirectly distort perspective, changing the apparent relative size of the subject and foreground. If the subject image size remains the same, then at any given aperture all lenses, wide angle and long lenses, will give the same depth of field. An example of how lens choice affects angle of view. This table shows the diagonal, horizontal, and vertical angles of view, in degrees, for lenses producing rectilinear images, when used with 36 mm × 24 mm format (that is, 135 film or full-frame 35mm digital
Solid angle Solid angle In geometry, a solid angle (symbol: ) is a measure of the amount of the field of view from some particular point that a given object covers. That is, it is a measure of how large the object appears to an observer looking from that point. The point from which the object is viewed is called the "apex" of the solid angle, and the object is said to "subtend" its solid angle from that point. In the International System of Units (SI), a solid angle is expressed in a dimensionless unit called a "steradian" (symbol: sr). One steradian
