<hr />
<div>In [[cinematography]], '''full frame''' refers to an image area (today most commonly on a digital sensor) that is the same size as that used by a 35mm ''still'' camera.<ref>https://pro.sony/ue_US/technology/full-frame-sensor</ref> Still cameras run the film ''horizontally'' behind the lens, whereas standard 35mm motion-picture cameras run the film ''vertically''. Thus a 35mm still camera's image is significantly larger than that of a standard 35mm motion-picture camera.<br />

<br />
Specialty motion-picture formats have used film running horizontally, notably [[VistaVision]] (which produced a "full-frame" image) and [[IMAX]].<br />
<br />
Historically, most digital cinema cameras have used [[Super-35]]-sized (similar to APS-C) sensors,<ref>https://vmi.tv/blog/learn-help/guide-to-sensor-sizes-and-lens-formats/</ref> largely to maintain compatibility with existing lenses and to produce traditional "cinematic" depth of field and field of view.<br />
<br />
Full-frame cameras require lenses with larger optics, and produce shallower depth of field than conventional 35mm cinema cameras.<ref>https://fstoppers.com/education/understanding-how-sensor-size-affects-depth-field-312599</ref><br />
