Depth of Field

What's depth of field?.
Depth of field is the distance between the nearest and the furthest points that will be in focus. In other words all the subjects between the points will be in focus during the shooting.


There are several principles of depth of field.

  • The greater the focal length, the narrower the depth
  • The greater the aperture, the narrower the depth
  • The nearer the subject to the lens, the narrower the depth

To achieve the greatest depth of field during shooting, the subject that we are shooting should be in bright light, clear days and set the lens to widest setting.
