What's the difference between the micro-landscape camera function and the shift-axis time-lapse photography?

There is a kind of lens called "axis shifting lens", and the photos taken are like miniature models. The function of shift lens was originally used to correct the perspective problems caused by ordinary wide-angle lens, but it was later widely used to create photographic works that changed the focus position of depth of field. The lens of shift axis camera has two main functions: one is to correct the perspective deformation of the subject; The second is to focus on the whole area of the subject, so that the far and near subjects in the picture form a clear image. Axis-shifting lens is widely used in architectural photography.

Axis-shifting lenses are expensive and need to be used with digital SLR cameras, and the post-processing software is too troublesome. Some cameras are processed by built-in software to create similar effects. For example, the familiar Olympus EP series has a built-in stereo effect filter. Canon IXUS 130 has a similar function, which is called miniature landscape effect mode. Through this mode, you can simulate a very shallow depth of field when shooting, and the visual experience is similar to that of a SLR macro lens when shooting macro with a large aperture. Therefore, it is very interesting to shoot street scenes, landscapes and other big scenes in this mode, and it feels like shooting a small model.

Therefore, the difference between the two is that the micro-landscape camera function is the camera's built-in software simulation of the shift-axis photography effect.
