    Depth of field refers to the area in front of and behind the point of focus that appears sharp. Smaller apertures like f/11 provide greater depth of field so more of the image is in focus, while wider apertures like f/2.8 provide very shallow depth of field where only a small area is in focus. Intermediate apertures between f/4-f/8 provide some depth of field but not as much as smaller apertures or as little as wider apertures. The depth of field is affected by the aperture setting used.

    Basics of Photography: Depth of Field

    Depth of Field (DoF)


    Depth of Field refers to the degree to which objects in front of, or behind your focus point are also in focus DoF is a function of the aperture settings small apertures (f11 and smaller) give you greater depth of field--> objects in front of and behind the focus point appear sharp wide apertures (f2.8 and wider) give you little to no depth of field--> objects in front of and behind the focus point appear blurred intermediate apertures (f4-f8) give you some depth of field, but not enough to show focus throughout the picture, and not little enough to give you a very blurry background/foreground, either

    Putting DoF and ISO Together

    1/1600 @ f4.8 @ ISO = 280

    1/80 @ f25 @ ISO = 200

    1/80 @ f4.8 @ ISO = 200

    1/30 @ f4.8 @ ISO = 720

    1/80 @ F 2.8 @ ISO 500

    1/60 @ f16 @ ISO = 200

    1/30 @ f22 @ ISO = 800
