DOF calculator DOF calculators are quite handy. The calculator above is a great one. I even have a DOF and light meter ap on my phone (Android).

Depth of Field
A picture is said to have **depth of field** when all focal planes of the picture are in focus.

There are a couple ways to achieve depth of field in your pictures, as follows:
 * Use a small aperture. An example of a small aperture is f16 or higher.
 * Most point and shoots will have some form of manual control for aperture.
 * Select subjects with a small distance between the focal point and the background.
 * Use a short lens (low mm).
 * If you are using a point and shoot, do not zoom.
