	With use of the flexible bellows, you can control the focusing, perspective and framing by moving both the camera and lens separately. Various images can be created by using any or all of the Horseman Axella four movements – Tilt, Swing, Raise/Fall and Shift, also called Full Camera Movement.
	With Full Camera Movement, you can focus wholly even on deep subject that continues away from the camera by controlling the focal plane with adjustments of the optical axis. Intentional “Bokeh” is also created: Good for motion picture filming. With the Counter Tilt just a certain part of a subject can be focused on, very effective for product image. When shooting with an ordinary camera, an object located at a farther distance appears smaller while the same object placed closer to the camera would appear larger. It also causes a bending of perpendicular line of buildings and box-shaped objects, leading deformation of image of the objects. This optical distortion is commonly referred to as the “Ships Prow Effect”. To correct the deformation, use Full Camera Movement to control framing. Intentional deformation can be also created in order to accentuate the shape. To adjust framing, while shifting the direction of camera or position of tripod or changing of lens should be done in an ordinal shooting, camera with Full Camera Movement can control framing at the same position only by moving lens or back around in the image circle of lens. With rear Full Camera Movement on the camera side, stitching photography can be accomplished by displacing the picture plane. By taking 4 “stitches” with a full format sensor, the size of the picture plane becomes equivalent to that of digital camera back, obtaining wider image consequently. A spindle gear is employed for the rear Full Camera Movement to minimize the displacement and for a smooth after-processing.
