Most, but not all, large format cameras are [[view camera]]s, with fronts and backs called "standards" that allow the photographer to better control rendering of [[Perspective (graphical)|perspective]] and increase apparent [[depth of field]]. Architectural and close-up photographers in particular benefit greatly from this ability. These allow the front and back of the camera to be ''shifted'' up/down and left/right (useful for architectural images where the scene is higher than the camera, and produces images where the scene is lower than the camera), and ''tilted'' out of parallel with each other left/right, up/down, or both; based on the [[Scheimpflug principle]]. The shift and tilt movements make it possible to solve otherwise impossible depth-of-field problems, and to change perspective rendering, and create special effects that would be impossible with a conventional fixed-plane fixed-lens camera.

[[Ansel Adams]]' photographs, and those of the other [[Group&nbsp;f/64]] photographers, demonstrate how the use of front (lens plane) and back ([[film plane]]) adjustments can secure great apparent depth of field when using the movements available on large format view cameras.
