DEPTH OF FIETD When you focus the comero on o subject there is o cerlotn disionce in front ond bock of the subieci wiihin which other obiects will olso oppeor shorp. This is known os the "Depth-of- Field", ond it vories wiih the lens operture, the smoller the operture the greoter the Depth- of -Field ; it is much lorger ot f , l6 thon ot f ' I.8. The Depth-of-Field scole will be found on the lens mounl in the front port of the comero. You will notice ihot on either side of the f 1.8 figure ' is o similor set of numbers which represent the lens opertures. When the comero is focused on your subiect, look for lhe operture you ore using on either side of the scole to determine the D:pth-of-Field. Thus, if the comero is focused ot l0 feet ond the lens op-'rlure is f , 8, ihe shorp is from obout 7 ft. to l5 ft. You con olso use the Depth-of-Field to use your Yoshico YF os o frxed-focus comero. ln this cos3 set the distonce scole to 20 ft. ond the lens operture to f :8. You will notice on the Depth-of-Field thot onything from oboul II leet to infinity will bc in focus.View original page 18
