Depth-of-Field
When the lens
is accurately focused,
there
is
a
certain
depth considered
to
be
in focus
both in
the
foreground
and the
background.
This is
called
"depth-of-field".
Depth-of-field
becomes deeper as the
aperture
opening is made
smaller
(closing
the
diaphragm)
and
shallower
as
the
aperture opening
is made larger
(opening
the diaphragm).
consequently, it is sometimes
necessary
to select a
proper
aperture opening
depending on
your
subject.
In this case,
disengage
the automatic
system, operate
the camera manuallV
