Angle of View
Definition:
The "angle of view" refers to the extent of the scene that a camera lens can capture in a photograph. It is measured in degrees and tells you how wide or narrow the view is when taking a picture. A wider angle means more of the scene is included in the photo, while a narrower angle means less of the scene is captured.
