Sensitivity and Depth of Field
Sensitivity and Depth of Field
If you choose a fast shutter speed when the subject is poorly lit, the camera au-
toexposure program will select a wider aperture. This will produce the correct
exposure but may also reduce depth of eld so that less of the area behind and
in front of your subject appears to be in focus (see the top illustration at right).
To stop aperture down and increase depth of eld as shown in the second of
the two illustrations at right, select a higher sensitivity.
