APPLICATION

OF

THE

OF

FIELD

GUIDE

The

depth of

~eld

is

the distance

between

the furthest and nearest points

at

which your subject

will be

in

focus.

The

depth of focus of any camera will vary according

to

its focal length,

aperture

or lens opening

and the

kind

of lenses.

The

lens with the shorter focal length w

ill

h

ave

more

dept

h wh

il

e the longer facal length w

ill

have less.

Your

PETRI

PENTA

is

engraved

with a

depth

of

~eld

scale which

wil

l aid

you

greatly

in

bringi

ng

your subject into

proper

focu s for quick snap shots.
