    When you focus the camera on a subject there is a certain range extending in front and
behind the subject within which other objects will also appear sharp. This range is called the
3f)epth of Fieldt and it  varies with alrrture. The larger the aperture, the shorter the Depth
of Field, and the smaller the aperture, the longer the Depth of Field. The value on the Depth
of Field scale indicate the aperture number and on the focusing knob designate the distance in
metre. After focusing the distancc' value pointed by the same two aperture number indicates the
Depth of Field in the condition of that aperture number. For instance, if the camera is focused
to3 metres with aperture number 16, the Depth of Field is approximately from 2.3 to 5 metre.
