And it's always the same story, you end up shipwrecked on an unexplored island dotted with giant stone pints in single file, you try to photograph them but the first one comes into focus, the others less and less. An overweight Chinese boy appears behind you and takes out his new s93 phone, takes a picture and everything is in perfect focus. He laughs, you get pissed off, you don't really know what's happening. Ready here, you need to understand how to control the depth of field. What is this thing? You'll ask, confused. Calm down, calm down, be patient, come on. In very, very simple words, let's say that the depth of field is the distance between the objects perceptibly in focus closest to the lens and those further away. Can you increase and decrease this thing at will? No, I mean, yes but within certain limits dictated by the laws of physics discovered by people much more intelligent than you. Be respectful. Nothing too complicated anyway. The more you zoom, the less stuff is in focus The closer you get, the less stuff is in focus The smaller the f-number, the less stuff is in focus Let's also add that a small subject in the photo will always tend to appear sharper. So the bigger you see it, the less stuff is in focus. Don't make stupid jokes.
