Olympus 35SP - Depth of Field

O
Depth
of
field
lf
the
focus
is
set at
a certain distance,
objects
at
that distance
are
most
clearly
photographed.
At
the
same
time,
some vicinity
of
the distance
is
also
in
focus.
This
latitude is
called the depth
of
f
ield.
The
smaller
the
aperture stop is, the
greater
the
depth of
focus.
For
taking
a
picture,
you
are supposed
to
set the
distance
at
3
meters,
and the F/stop
at
16,
for
instance.
In
that
case,
if
you
look
at the table
you
can
see that
the
depth
of f
ield is
1.48m-
infinity
(ml.
All the objects
between
1.48m
and
infinity will
be
sharp
in
your picture
so that
it
is
not
necessary
to
make
readjustment
within
this
range.
For
automatic
photography, you
can
understand
the necessary
F/stop number
by
referring
the EV
number
shown
in
the
light
meter
window
to
the
table
of the
EE working
range.

.
You
can stop down
to
F 1
6
for
manual,
and
F22l1l25O
sec.) for
automatic.
