angle of view
Camera's visible range
Angle of view is how much of a scene a camera lens can capture, measured in degrees.
A wide angle of view takes in more of the surroundings; a narrow one shows less but magnifies distant subjects.
The term applies to human vision and optical instruments as well: The periscope had a limited angle of view.
