ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

WideAngle

So you know how your eyes let you see things in front of you, right? And have you ever noticed how sometimes you can see a lot of things in your view, like your whole classroom or park?

Well, wide-angle is kind of like that. It helps a camera see a lot of things in its view all at once. Normally, a camera can only see a small part of what's in front of it, like just one part of the classroom or park. But with a wide-angle lens, the camera's view becomes wider, so it can capture more of what's going on around it.

It's like having a super power! You can see more of the world in one glance, even if you're not physically there. So, if you want to capture a big group of people or beautiful landscapes, wide-angle lenses can help you do that!
