wide-angle
Broad field lens
Wide-angle describes a camera lens with a short focal length that captures a broader field of view than standard lenses.
Wide-angle shots take in more of a scene, making them useful for landscapes, architecture, and cramped interiors: The real estate agent used a wide-angle lens to make the apartment look bigger.
The effect can distort edges, bending straight lines near the frame's periphery.
