anamorphic lens |
Also found in: Wikipedia | 0.46 sec. |

A movie camera lens that horizontally squeezes a wide screen image into a standard 35mm frame. When projected, an anamorphic lens stretches the 35mm frame horizontally and fills a wide screen. This lens allowed the movie industry to make wide screen films with the same 35mm equipment. A 2:1 anamorphic lens squeezes 100% more into the frame than a normal lens. The term comes from the Greek "anamorphosis," which means to "reshape." See anamorphic DVD.

The term "panomorph", as referred to by scientists
internationally, is a patented wide-angle anamorphic lens that generates
and controls distortion, and gives a larger image that covers at least a
180 by 360 field of view. Canon provides professionals with a solution for this challenge
with its Anamorphic lens converter for the 2/3" HD format. The package includes a custom anamorphic lens and
video processor. |
