What do you mean by shifting the camera?

Axis-shifting camera is a special camera, which can adjust the depth of field and perspective effect by moving the position of the lens. Therefore, it is usually used to shoot buildings, urban landscapes, portraits and other scenes that need to ensure vertical and horizontal lines.

The working principle of shift axis camera is to use movable lens to correct the angle of view, so as to obtain more accurate perspective effect in photos. This kind of camera helps to eliminate the distortion caused by the distortion of camera viewing angle.

Axis-shifting cameras are usually more expensive than ordinary cameras because they require more design and technology to manufacture. But because of its special function, many professional photographers and architects still choose to use it.

Because the shift camera can correct the distortion of perspective and viewing angle, it is usually used to shoot scenes where vertical lines and horizontal lines need to be aligned. For example, you can use a shift camera to shoot a high-rise building, showing the alignment of vertical and horizontal lines without distortion.

In addition, the shift axis camera can also be used to take portraits and landscape photos. By adjusting the focal depth and focal length, the background can be enlarged or reduced to form a unique depth of field and landscape effect.

In commercial photography, it is often necessary to use a shifting camera to shoot indoor furniture and exhibits to ensure the authenticity and accuracy of the pictures.

There are great differences in functions and functions between axis-shifting cameras and digital cameras. Axis-shifting cameras are designed for professional photography, including architecture and landscape photography, while digital cameras are aimed at the mass consumer market.

In practice, the use of axis-shifting camera is relatively complicated, which requires users to know the knowledge and skills of photography. Digital cameras, on the other hand, do not need much skills and professional knowledge, so they are more suitable for mass consumers.

Although there are great differences in function and design, the combination of the two can also achieve better works. For example, in post-production, the works shot with shift camera and digital camera can achieve better depth of field and perspective effect, and make the photos more artistic.
