Hie depth of field is- the distance between

In res increase the depth of field. As an ex¬
ample, with the diaphragm set ell 5.6 and
(lie distance scale at 1.5 meters (J ff.3 h every¬
thing from 1.3 meters (4.3 ft.J to 14 meters
[5,2 ft,} will be in focus, However, when

In taking si pOif-ft t the blurring of the
background by using a wkle opening will
make the person slant! nut. On the other
hand, when taking el group picture where
people are standing in rows a small opening
becomes noeessfiry to ensure that (he focus
is sharp on every subject.
