    DoF

    I've been inspired by the pics you lot have posted, to re-learn my long lost photography skills and more importantly, to figure out how my Dimage A2 actually works.

    One thing that I'm struggling with is DoF. The camera has a feature that allows for the DoF to be previewed on the viewfinder prior to taking the pic. This is great for close-in shots but I find it difficult to judge the aperture setting for longer shots.

    I'd appreciate any guidance on how you set up a distance shot with a narrow DoF.

    Cheers.

    do you have a zoom lense?

    ues having a narrow depth of field gives you more depth of field should be ok to use between f8 and f11 for good sharpness on a landscape.......

    BUT if you are using one lense for the job and you are zooming in and out this makes a difference as by zooming a lense in can also narrow down your viewing plane and DOF

    Some one did a good tutorial on here for DOF think it might of been RMP do a search see what you get

    Trying to work out the same. DoP, in my language is Director of Photography, or Cinematographer.

    Like DB I assumed talking about depth of field.



    Cheers

    Like Simon and DB I assumed you are referring to Depth of Field.

    Try Hyperfocal Distance and Depth of Field Calculator - DOFMaster

    Well...take the grass layer off, then dig, when you cant dig anymore, measure the depth, that's the depth of that field..
