DEPTH OF FIELD
The deoth of field is the area in front
and behind the subject on which the
subject is focused, within which all
objects will also appear acceptably sharp
in the picture. lt varies with the aper-
ture and is more extensive (a) when the
lens is stopped down, (b) when the
camera is focused on a distant subject,
and (c) in the background rather than
the foreground.
The depth of f ield can be determined by
ref erring to the depth-of-f ield scale
around the Focusing Knob. With the
camera focused on a subject at 10
meters and an aperture of t/16, the
depth-of-field will be from about 5
meters to infinity or, in other words,
the range enclosed by the number 16 on
both sides of the distance index mark
(3.5).
