Depth of Field Depth of Field (DOF) is the distance wherein objects
are in focus.
To have objects both close and far from you in focus (known as a
great depth of field), you need to set up the FC-2500 to use the small
aperture setting of F8.0. The focus is equally distributed between
foreground and background (Figure 1-18).

To have the subject in sharp focus while keeping the background out
of focus (known as a shallow depth of field), you need to set up the
FC-2500 to use the large aperture setting of F2.8. The focus is on the
background (Figure 1-19 on page 1-16).
