French term or phrase: plan
Instructions for taking photographs of subjects undergoing cosmetics testing:

Eteindre systematiquement tous les neons.
Se soustraire le plus possible a toute autre source lumineuse que celle des projecteurs.
Ne photographier que la zone d'interet.
Placer la mire dans le plan de la zone a photographier.

Now I would normally translate "plan" as shot, but here I am more inclined to say frame.
Position the sight in the frame of the area to photographed.

Does this sound right?
TIA

Explanation:
Instructions for using a colour checker, I believe. In that case they would ask to keep the checker perpendicular to the lens axis.

agree  Tony M: I think it is 'plane' — probably 'at the same distance from the lens as the subject'
