About the depth of focus field
The depth of focu_ field is the in-focus range measured from the distance behind a
subject to the distance irr.front. The depth of focus field cart vary with the aperture value
and the focal length. Lowering the F value (larger aperture) reduces the depth of focus
field. Raising the F value (small er"aperture) provides a larger depth of focus field.
Zooming in telephoto position offers a smaller depth of focus field while the depth of
focus field in wicle-angle position is greater.
