Angle Set the angle of the zoom. A wider zoom will give more perspective. A good perspective setting usually means a better sense of dimension... As a reference, the human eyes has a field of around 60 degree (image in focus) Therefore setting the camera at 60 degree and then moving the Camera will give a real-life like viewing.
Here's three example of camera settings where you can see the perspective in action
4 degree at 200 meters
60 degree at 18 meters
120 degree at 15 meters
