24 DEPTH OF FIELD

24 Depth of Field

There are two ways to check depth of field. One is by using the depth-of-field scale on the lens. This is a scale of f/stops repeated on each side of the distance index.

1.First focus. Then press the shutter button halfway and note to which f/stop the meter needle points in the viewfinder. Find the two f/stops on the depth- of-field scale which correspond to that number.

2.Draw imaginary lines from those two numbers to the distance scale. The effective depth of field lies between those two distances.
