With a working distance from 0.3m to infinity and a maximum angle of view of 114[degrees], this lens fits various applications where a large field of view is needed at close range, as is common in security cameras for face recognition.
As the angle of view changes, the focal point of each micro-lens sweeps across the image plane.
The LUMIX TZ220 features new 24mm ultra-wide angle LEICA DC VARIO-ELMAR lens with 15x optical zoom (35mm camera equivalent: 24-360mm) and 5-Axis HYBRID O.I.S.+ (Optical Image Stabilizer Plus) to provide a versatile angle of view while suppressing hand-shake in both photo and video recording.

The angle of view of the ultra wide angle camera is said to be of 120 degrees.
The resolution is a very fine, high angle and vertical angle resolution that reaches 0.2[degrees] throughout the angle of view.
There is a negative correlation between focal length and angle of view
I know if the scene will fit my angle of view. Can I step back to get a wider perspective or maybe if I circle around the subject, will it offer a more acceptable angle for my fixed 50mm lens?
But several instances showed that police had disabled or changed the angle of view of CCTV cameras in some police operations, including the alleged buy-bust operation conducted in October by a team from the Manila Police District's Moriones station.
According to Panasonic, its new 3D LiDAR sensor measures the distance between the sensor and the target object using the round-trip travelling time of the pulsed laser beam that is projected onto the target, enabling it to accurately measure the direction of and distance to the target with a wide angle of view. It achieves this using proprietary multiple motor-driven mirrors and scanning technology.
