The shift adjustment device consists in moving the optical axis of the lens while it remains perpendicular to the film surface to compensate perspective. The tilt adjustment is used when walls or fences are shot obliquely alligned and the shift adjustment is used for shooting a tall building without the perspective distortion that made it look as though it is leaning backward.
