Understanding Depth of Field

Shallow DOF

Use wider apertures (f/1.4-f/2.8) for portrait photography to blur backgrounds and isolate subjects.

Deep DOF

Use narrower apertures (f/8-f/16) for landscape photography to keep foreground and background sharp.

Hyperfocal Distance

Focus at this distance to maximize depth of field, keeping everything from half this distance to infinity sharp.

Circle of Confusion

The maximum blur circle that appears acceptably sharp to the human eye, varies by sensor size.
