 | | In a preferred configuration, the image sensor plane is tilted with respect to the lens (or lens with respect to the image sensor plane) according to the Scheimpflug principle. |
 | | By tilting the image sensor array plane 103 in accordance with the Scheimpflug principle such that the lens plane 102, sensor plane 103 and object plane 104 all intersect at point 115, the entirety of object plane 114 is within the DOF. |
 | | Alternatively, the lens plane 102 may be tilted relative to the sensor plane 103, and, once again, in accordance with the Scheimpflug principle the object plane 104, image sensor array plane 103, and lens plane 102 will intersect at the Scheimpflug point 115. |
