Magnolia. Canon Digital Elph 1100SD (Ixus 80 IS). 1/60 sec, f/2.8, ISO 160. f=6.2 mm (~38 mm). Top left is the
first shot in a series of nine images; top right is the last. At a near distance of 142 mm, the measured DOF was
15 mm. The Subj.Dist.Bracket Value was therefore set to 7 mm. The whole covered range of sharpness is 10 x 7 =
70 mm. Image composition was performed with CombineZP. No artifacts were created during composition, so
retouching could remain at a minimum (some dust spots on the surface).
Teach Your Camera New Tricks
the camera a bit to put your subject nicely into the frame. Start shoot-
ing by pressing the shutter button down and holding it there. Either
count the required number of pictures until you release the shutter, or
simply watch the display and observe how the sharpness area moves
beyond the farthest point of the subject matter.
