noun

Unendlichkeit

A number which is very large compared to some characteristic number. For example, in optics, an object which is much further away than the focal length of a lens is said to be "at infinity", as the distance of the image from the lens varies very little as the distance increases further.

Examples :

"In photography, if an object is far enough away – practically at infinity – the camera lens doesn't need to adjust much to keep it in focus. "

In der Fotografie muss sich das Kameraobjektiv nicht viel anpassen, um ein Objekt, das weit genug entfernt ist – praktisch in der Unendlichkeit – scharf zu stellen.
