DEPTH OF FIELD
Depth of field refers to the range around the opti-
mum focusing point of the subject in which the ele-
ments at different distances are in focus. The
depth of field increases as the aperture is closed
down, the focal length of the lens becomes short-
er, or the subject is positioned farther away.

The Range Allowed for Focusing
The in-focus range varies depending on the aper-
ture in use. Zoom lenses do not have a depth-of-
field scale for mechanical considerations.
