wide angle
Broad field lens
Wide angle describes a lens or camera setting with a short focal length, capturing a broader field of view than normal vision.
Wide-angle shots show more of a scene but may distort objects at the edges: The wide-angle lens made the small apartment look spacious.
The term applies to photography, cinematography, and security cameras.
Often hyphenated when used as an adjective before a noun: wide-angle lens.
