What is the depth of fi eld?
When you focus on a specifi c subject, there is a
range in which objects closer and further away
are all in focus. This focused range is called the
depth of fi eld.
The wider the wide-angle lens, the higher the
aperture value, the greater the depth of fi eld.
For example, the aperture stop, f 11 is higher
than f 2.8.
