Contax S2 - Depth of Field

"Depth
of field" is
a characteristic
of different lens
whereby
the
area in front
and
in
back of the
subject that
is in
focus
at the film
plane
varies
in relation
to the
aperture
setting
of the lens in
use.
The
depth of field
becomes more
deeper as the lens
aperture is
closed
down,
and shallower
as the lens
aperture
is
opened
up.
To vary
the
depth
of
field:
.
To
increase
the
area in front
and
in
back
of
the
subject that
is in focus,
set the
aperture
ring
to
a
higher
f-number
to
close
down the lens. To make
the
subject
standout in
a
blurred
foreground
or
background,
set
the
aperture ring
to a lower f-
number
to
open the lens wider
which
will narrow
the
depth
of
field.
