Depth of field numbers scale. But the depth of field scales near and far marks are at 7m and about 12m. The focal point always lies within the focal range or depth of field. If you zoom into 100mm from the same spot the depth of field changes to 92 109m 301 358 for a total of 17m 57 of depth of field. But the transition from sharp to unsharp is gradual and the term acceptably sharp is a loose one.
For a given circle of confusion c focal length f f number n and distance to subject u. In the images above the focal point denoted by the red box stays at approximately the same location. This video explains the various effects of depth of field on photographing scale models along with a number of methods for increasing depth of field. It is typically used to maximize depth of field in night photography and landscape photography.
This scale is easy enough to understand even though it might seem too vague imprecise or jumbled to be useful. This can also be identified as the zone of acceptable sharpness in front of and behind the plane of focus where the lens is focused. The lens is currently focused to about 9m 30ft. There is also a step by step demonstration of.
Notice that hyperfocal distance doesnt depend on subject distance. Now your camera can only focus sharply at one point. So that would be the depth of field if i took a picture with it right now. The distance between the farthest and nearest objects in a scene that appear acceptably sharp in an image.
The depth of field can be determined by focal length distance to subject the acceptable circle of confusion size and aperture. For a given subject framing and focus distance depth of field is controlled by aperture size. The 16 is in magenta which corresponds to the magenta distance marks on the focus scale. The approximate depth of field can be given by.
The smaller the aperture large f numbers the deeper the depth of field many photographers use the aperture to get the desired depth of field because it can be easily controlled by simply changing the aperture. 1 what is depth of field. Depth of field is the distance between the closest and farthest objects in a photo that appears acceptably sharp.
