DEPTH OF FIELD

The depth of field is the area in front and behind the subject on which the subject is focused, within which all objects will also appear acceptably sharp in the picture. It varies with the aperture and is more extensive (a) when the lens is stopped down, (b) when the camera is focused on a distant subject, and (c) in the background rather than the foreground.

The depth of field can be determined by referring to the depth-of-field scale around the Focusing Knob. With the camera focused on a subject at 10 meters and an aperture of f/16, the depth-of-field will be from about 5 meters to infinity or, in other words, the range enclosed by the number 16 on both sides of the distance
