3) The longer the focal length of a lens, the shallower the depth

of field at each f/stop; the shorter the focal length, the deeper

the depth of field.

4) There is greater depth of field behind the main subject than

in front of it.

The depth of field at each aperture is indicated on the lens by a
set of color-coded lines ® (corresponding to the colors of the
f-numbers on the aperture ring) which are used in conjunction

with the distance scale ®. The range is indicated by the dis­
tance between the lines.

Note:

Certain Zoom-Nikkor and special-purpose Nikkor lenses do not

have a depth-of-field scale.
