When your subject is in focus, there is a certain

area in front of it and behind itwhich will also be in

field”

Depth of field has the following characteristics:

1) The smaller the aperture, the wider the depth

of field and vice versa

2) The shorter the lens focal length is, the greater

the deptf^ of field, provided that aperture and

shooting distance are the same

3) The farther the shooting distance, the greater

the depth of field

ground than the foreground.
