Where is the focus? What role does the aperture/lens opening play? What role does distance from the subject play?
LENS OPENING / APERTURE
- The size of the opening in the lens (the lower the number - the wider the opening; the higher the number - the smaller the opening)
- If the camera selects a wide opening - you will have shallow depth of field. If it selects a small opening - you will have great depth of field.
- Also - the closer you are to the subject/object - the shallower the depth of field. The greater the distance from the subject/object - the greater the depth of field.
- Make certain that focus is where you want it.
