DEPTH OF FIELD
By
depth of field is meant the range of distances of
objects in front of the camera that are in sufficiently
sharp focus at a certain setting. The depth of field
increases by reducing the aperture. After focusing
the lens the normal way examine the black lines
spreading out at both sides of the red distance
marks. Each pair of lines pointing to the distance
scale
indicates
the depth of field zone corresponding
to the F-stop
set.
Example:
Focusing distance 8 feet, lens opening
F/
11. The white lines running from the figures 11
in-
dicate, that the nearest point in focus is 6 feet and
the most distant point in focus is approximately 12
feet
away.
