DEPTH OF FIELD
When the camera lens is focused on a certain
subject,
objects in the
foreground and background will appea
r
acceptably sharp in
the
picture.
The range
over which the foreground and background ob-
jects are reproduced acceptably sharp is called
the
depth of field
.
The photos on this page were taken wi th
the
lens focused of the
subject at the identical distance. At
Fl.4
,
objects in
the
foreground
and background appear blu rred bu
t,
at
F16,

ey are reproduced
sharp and clear. These
photo

e

creases as you stop down
