chest-level, with your elbows pressed

DEPTH OF FIELD
The depth of field is the area in front and behind
the subject on which the subject is focused,
within which all objects will also appear
acceptably sharp in the picture. It varies with the
aperture and is more extensive (a) when the lens
is stopped down, (b) when the camera is focused
on a distant subject, and (c) in the background
rather than the foreground.
The depth of field can be determined by
referring to the depth-of-field scale around the
Focusing Knob. With the camera focused on a
subject at 10 meters and an aperture of f/16, the
depth-of-field will be from about 5 meters to
infinity or, in other words, the range enclosed by
the number 16 on both sides of the distance
