The axis of Full Camera Movement of Horseman Axella is the image axis fulcrum of Full Camera Movement designed on the image sensor in a digital camera. Even with rear Full Camera Movement, it does not cause out of focus in the center or deformation of a composition. As no image re-composition or refocusing*1) is needed, a speedy photographing can be made.
| *1) When shooting A with Tilt movement and its axis is displaced from the
sensor position, the image will be defocused and deformed as in the picture
B. Then, readjustment is needed. |

M.F.D. function is a variable system to translate the main frame with improvement on the image axis fulcrum Full Camera Movement. When focusing on an oblique object with Tilt movement and the object is off the center of the image plane, the axis of Tilt movement can be moved up to 20mm. The focal point of the object is set accurately with the scale. Horseman employs the M.F.D. function for Rise-Fall, which is very useful for a fine-arrangement of framing after focused with Tilt movement. It moves parallel to lens surface in the front and to sensor surface in the rear. Therefore, the focus plane is set by Tilt movement and can be maintained so as to not cause defocusing. Stitching in the longitudinal direction can be easily done as well.

| There has always been a challenge to overcome the inherent contradiction
between large, heavy metal robustness and durability vs. maximizing weight
savings and portability. Finally, this challenge has been conquered and
both aspects are harmoniously combined in Horseman Axella digital view
camera. It weighs only 3kg, and has a thickness of just 65mm after detaching
the bellows and folding the L-type arms parallel swinging at 90° for compact
storage together with digital camera, lens and accessories. |

| The shortest distance of the flange back of the Horseman Axella is 30mm.
When used with digital camera back, such digital lenses as HR Digaron S
23mm and Apo-Sironar Digital 35mm can be attached to Horseman Axella. With
the digital camera back, wide-angle photography, previously unachievable
by a view camera, is now possible. Also, stretching of the bellows increases
the length of the flange back up to 175mm, making it possible to use 150mm
lens and also an 80mm lens for life-size shots. |

By extending the bellows and making exposure compensation without any other accessories, close-up photography is possible. The magnification of object is determined by factoring the focal length of the lens with length of the bellows.
