Parallax

An effect in which the image viewed through the viewfinder of a camera differs from the image seen through the lens of the camera, which causes portions of the scene to be absent from the photograph taken by the camera. It is found in all types of cameras, including Leica rangefinders and twin-lens reflex cameras, as well as other types of cameras with separate viewfinders and lenses.
