The 38 pages that link to Depth of field, each with the reason it gives.

• CinematographyRelated: Focus choices separate subjects from backgrounds or keep several planes legible.

• PhotographyRelated: Aperture, focus distance, and focal length shape which photographic subjects appear sharp.

• Deep focusRelated: Deep focus requires enough depth of field to render multiple distances sharp.

• Mise-en-scèneRelated: Focus can emphasize one layer of a staged scene over others.

• Focal lengthCompared with: Focal length affects depth of field, but the two quantities describe different properties.

• Digital photographyRelated: Aperture, focal length, and focus distance control its appearance.

• Camera obscuraRelated: The aperture size influences how much of the projected scene appears in focus.

• Portrait photographyRelated: Controlling focus can separate a face from its surroundings.

• Numerical apertureRelated: Greater numerical aperture improves resolution but generally narrows the sharp-focus range.

• ApertureRelated: Changing aperture size changes how much of the scene appears sharp.

• Spatial resolutionCompared with: Focus across depth affects detail locally, but is distinct from the ability to separate adjacent features.

• Point spread functionCompared with: Depth of field concerns changes in focus with object distance, while a PSF describes response at a specified condition.

• Close-upRelated: Shallow focus can isolate the detail emphasized by a close-up.

• Wildlife photographyRelated: A shallow focus range can separate an animal from a complex natural background.

• Optical resolutionCompared with: It concerns focus across distance, not separation of nearby details in one plane.

• Camera lensRelated: Lens aperture, focal length, and focusing distance shape this range.

• PupilRelated: A smaller pupil increases depth of field, though it does not change the eye's focus.

• Optical aberrationCompared with: It describes focus tolerance, whereas aberrations persist as optical design errors.

• Shutter speedCompared with: Aperture strongly affects depth of field, whereas shutter duration primarily changes exposure and motion rendering.

• Straight photographyRelated: Deliberate depth of field determines how much of a subject appears sharply rendered.

• AccommodationCompared with: A small pupil can extend apparent sharpness across distances without the lens making a full accommodative shift.

• Field of viewCompared with: It concerns focus along depth, not the scene’s angular or spatial extent.

• Landscape photographyRelated: Aperture and focus determine how much foreground and distant terrain remains sharp.

• Miniature effectRelated: Small models often require adjusted focus to reproduce the depth cues of full-sized scenes.

• Rear projectionRelated: Focus choices help balance the apparent distance between performers and the projected scene.

• Wide-angle lensRelated: Wide-angle framing often makes a large depth of field practical, depending on focus and aperture.

• Photographic compositionRelated: Sharpness and blur can separate a subject from its surroundings and organize attention.

• Exposure (photography)Related: Changing aperture to control exposure also changes the extent of apparent sharpness.

• Forensic photographyRelated: Choosing sufficient depth of field keeps relevant evidence in focus.

• Rangefinder cameraRelated: Distance readings help focus, while aperture and focal length determine how forgiving that focus is.

• Aperture (optics)Related: Stopping down usually increases the range that appears in focus.

• Group f/64Related: The group's ideal of comprehensive sharpness often relied on deep focus.

• Magnifying glassRelated: Close focusing through a magnifier leaves only a narrow range sharply visible.

• Camera (still photography)Related: Aperture, focus distance, and focal length shape which parts of a photograph look sharp.

• ExposureRelated: Aperture changes exposure while also changing the image’s apparent zone of focus.

• Focus (optics)Related: It describes tolerated defocus around the precisely focused object plane.

• LoupeRelated: A loupe's shallow focus makes precise positioning necessary.

• Rayleigh lengthCompared with: It is an image-quality range, unlike the beam-defined distance to doubled area.
