If you want to know how great the depth of field is at a certain 0. aperture, focus on a subject and see through the viewfinder while depressing the depth-of-field preview button Or, after focusing, look at the depth-of-field guide on the lens. In the photograph below, the distance scale is set at 5 meters . . . the lens is focused on a subject 5 meters away. The calibrations on each side of the distance index correspond to the diaphragm setting and indicate the range of in-focus distance for different lens apertures. For example, if a lens opening of f/4 is to be used, the range on the distance scale ring covered within the figure 4 on the depth-of- field guide indicates the area in focus at that lens opening. You will note from the depth-of-field guide in the photograph that the range from approximately 4 to 7 m is in focus. Note that as the lens apertures change, the effective depth of field also changes. For the depths of field at different apertures and distances, refer to the next page. • 115 7I 6 sst5,/ 5 f/4 . . 3 2 1 0 Distance (m) 18•

Depth
of
field
is
the
range
between
the
nearest
and
farthest
distances
which
are
in
focus
at
a
given
lens
aperture.
If
you
want
to
know
how
great
the
depth
of
field
is
at
a
certain
aperture,
focus
on
a
subject
and
see
through
the
viewfinder
while
depressing
the
depth
-of
-field
preview
button
0.
Or,
after
focusing,
look
at
the
depth
-of
-field
guide
on
the
lens.
In
the
photograph
below,
the
distance
scale
is
set
at
5
meters
.
.
.
the
lens
is
focused
on
a
subject
5
meters
away.
The
calibrations
on
each
side
of
the
distance
index
correspond
to
the
diaphragm
setting
and
indicate
the
range
of
in
-focus
distance
for
different
lens
apertures.
For
example,
if
a
lens
opening
of
f/4
is
to
be
used,
the
range
on
the
distance
scale
ring
covered
within
the
figure
4
on
the
depth
-of
-
field
guide
indicates
the
area
in
focus
at
that
lens
opening.
You
will
note
from
the
depth
-of
-field
guide
in
the
photograph
that
the
range
from
approximately
4
to
7
m
is
in
focus.
Note
that
as
the
lens
apertures
change,
the
effective
depth
of
field
also
changes.
For
the
depths
of
field
at
different
apertures
and
distances,
refer
to
the
next
page.
