Equivalent Exposure
- What are the three ways to manipulate Depth of Field? - Iris, focal length, and camera to object distance are the 3 ways to manipulate Depth of Field.
- Click on Iris & DOF. Click on all of the F-stops and compare the pictures and the illustration of the depth of field, explain in your own words how the images change. - the image gets darker and then lighter. It seems like it focuses in and out a lot.
- If you use a camera lens with a shorter focal length will it create more or less Depth of Field? -The longer the focal length, the shallower the Depth of Field. The shorter the focal length, the greater the Depth of Field.
- If you move the camera closer to the subject, will that increase or decrease the Depth of Field? -The greater the distance between the camera and person/object, the greater the Depth of Field. Conversely, the shorter the distance between the camera and person/object, the shallower the Depth of Field.
- What are the three settings to create expansive or great Depth of Field? -One can achieve a great depth of field by using a great camera-to-object distance a short focal length and/or a small iris opening (high F-stop number)
- What are the three settings to create shallow Depth of Field? - One can achieve a shallow depth of field by using a short camera-to-object distance, a long focal length and/or a large iris opening (low F-stop number)

Shallow Depth Of Field
Expansive Depth Of Field
There are 2 types of Depth of Field Shallow and Expansive. There's 3 way you can manipulate Depth of Field, iris, focal length, and camera-to-object distance. A Shallow Depth of Field photo is a close up still photograph. A portrait or close-up still photograph might use a small DOF to isolate the subject from a distracting background. All parts of the image are in sharp focus, including the background and foreground elements in expansive depth of field. You need to move back further from the subject the greater the DOF. For a fixed focal length, larger aperture will result is shallower depth of field. Cropping causes decrease in depth of field. This is important in cameras with ability to take picture and video in crop mode.
