Depth of Field

Depth of field refers to the zone of acceptab le focus extend ing in front of and behind the plane of sharpest focus. Within this zone, image blur is negligible and everything can be considered as being in sharp focus. Ta observe the depth of field with the PC-N ikkor lens, it is necessary to manually set the diaphragm to the required shooting aperture; for procedures, refer to "Setting the Aperture" on page 6.

Depth of field can also be determined by reading the color-coded depth-of-field indicators engraved on the lens barrel opposite the distance sca le. Each pair of colored lin es corresponds to an f/number of the same color engraved on the lens front rim_ To find the depth of field at a particular aperture, focus the lens on the subject and then check the numbers on the distance scale opposite the co lored lin es that match the color of the preset shooting ape rture setting.

Wh en in doubt about depth of fie ld for a critical shooting situati o n, refe r to the tables o n page 20 and 21 of this instruction manual.
