What is photographic perspective and how to adjust it on the camera?

Perspective is the spatial relationship of objects. When shooting, we use the exaggerated length of near and far objects to describe the strength of perspective. Different shooting angles will lead to different viewing angles, which are not linear.

You can't adjust the angle of view on the camera, you can only change the angle of view when shooting.

Photographers should consider the shooting angle and distance when shooting. Distance is also an important factor to change the perspective. Shooting a scene in the same range, with a wide-angle lens at close range, can take photos with obvious perspective, while standing at a distance can compress this perspective and the space will be very compact. The same scene, taken from different perspectives, has very different effects.

Extended data:

Perspective is a very important photographic language, and controlling perspective and distortion is very common in shooting. Through different perspectives, different emotions and atmospheres can be expressed. For example, strong perspective can shoot an exaggerated sense of space, and weak perspective can make the picture more compact.

Perspective can also create more interesting images for you, resulting in visual errors and illusions. For example, many people have taken photos of "holding" the leaning tower of Pisa, which is realized by using the perspective of photos. In fact, the distance between the main body and the building is very far.
