Tip: Depth of Field
Depth of eld is the portion (range of distance) that appears sharp
in an image. Small apertures (high f-numbers) increase depth of
eld, bringing more of the scene into focus; large apertures (low
f-numbers) decrease depth of eld, emphasizing the main subject
by blurring the foreground and background. At settings of MF,
Snap, and ∞, the focus bar shows depth
of eld in shooting modes M, A, and P
(in mode P, depth of eld is only shown
when the shutter-release button is
pressed halfway and aperture values are
displayed).
