The fixed focus modes can be used when a special focusing situa-
tion is preventing the autofocus system from focusing (p. 26).
How much area is in focus before and behind the subject plane
depends on the position of the zoom lens and the aperture in use.
Depth of field increases as the focal length and aperture decreases.
The depth of field is greater at the zooms wide-angle position and
when using an aperture with a large value.
