What is a Tilt Photography?

In order to shift the optical axis of the lens and the photosensitive surface of an image sensor, tilt your lens to shoot photos. This is called “Tilt Photography”.

It was originally a technique to focus on a wide area but it has become popular among recent photographers to shoot miniature diorama-style photos.

Letting bokeh occur intentionally on one side or both left and right or upper and lower half, you could control the bokeh freely.

Adjust the tilt ring and let bokeh occur on both the upper and lower half of the image to make it miniature dioramic style.
Adjust the tilt ring to focus on the objects in both front and back, preventing bokeh to occur.

How to Operate

By loosening the tilt ring, you could change the direction of the lens both vertically and horizontally. Also, you could adjust the bokeh tone by controlling the aperture ring and angle of the lens. Find your best bokeh tone by trying out various adjusting patterns.


Able to tilt up till 15° in all directions.

Miniature Diorama Style Photography

Tilt the lens upward. Set the F-stop to f1.6. Focus on the object by turning the focus ring.

Focusing on Both Front and Back

Tilt the lens downward. Turn the focus ring and focus on the entire image.
