Depth of Field?
When you focus on a speci c subject, there is a range in which objects closer and
further away will also be in focus. This focused range is called the depth of eld.
The wider the wide-angle lens, and the further away the subject, the greater the
depth of eld. For example, the aperture stop, f 11 is higher than f 2.8.
Pictures used in this user guide are to help users understand depth of eld and the
results may differ depending on the types of lenses and the shooting environment.
