# About the Angle of View

The angle of view, or more accurately, the angular field of view, is the amount of a scene (measurable in terms of an angle in degrees, originating at the camera position) that can be viewed by the camera. The angle of view is not affected by changes in the distance between camera and subject. It can be modified directly, in the FOV field, or indirectly, via the Focal Length field.

The angle of view and the focal length are inversely proportional. As you extend the camera's focal length, the field of view gets narrower. As you shorten the focal length, the field of view gets larger.
