Aperture diaphragm and depth of field
EFFECTIVE USE OF LENSES
A depth of field is a range in which a lens can focus on objects. So, a lens with a large depth field can focus on a target which moves in the direction of the lens.

< Depth of field >
- The shorter the focal distance, the larger the depth of field.
- The longer the distance from the lens to the object, the larger the depth of field. Closeup rings and macro lenses make the depth of field smaller.
- The smaller the aperture, the larger the depth of field. Small aperture and bright illumination make focusing easy.

A camera is installed as shown in the illustration.
A graduated tape that indicates the height is attached on a slope. In this condition, the pictures are taken for comparison of aperture.
