DEPTH OF FIELD

F16, 1/15 sec.

F2,1/1000sec.

Depth of field is the area of acceptable sharpness in front of and behind the subject in focus. As you get closer to your subject or as you open your

lens (e.g. from F16 to F2.8) the depth of field becomes shallower. By stopping your lens down

(e.g. from F2.8 to F16) or getting farther away from your subject this depth of field can be in- creased.

The table below shows that when the camera-

to-subject distance is 3m, the depth of field at F16 ranges from 1.93m to 6.93m.

As you press the preview button, looking through the viewfinder, you can ascertain the actual depth

of field.
