Scheimpflug Principle - Hasselblad HTS 1.5 Manual

Scheimpflug principle

In this illustration, the sensor plane and lens plane are par-
allel producing a subject plane that is also parallel.
At the widest aperture the depth of field is very restricted.
The yellow objects are in focus as they are on the same
plane, along with some of the red object. The green ob-
jects are out of focus.
