Hi, the tilt function is for fitting the focal plane of the camera to the object plane in the case these two planes are not parallel. In effect you get extended depth of focus. The feature is most often used in landscape and macro photography but may be also usefull in architecture. In landscape you get sharpeness from the foreground to the background and in macro there is gererally much too few DOF so one has to take everything one can get (for macro one needs a tiltable bellows as Nikon had or the Zörk MFS).
