The term "wide depth of field" is not used. Depth of field can either be shallow or deep. The definition of depth of field is this:
Depth of field is defined as the range of object distances within which objects are imaged with acceptable sharpness.
A shallow depth of field would mean that only objects within a small distance in a scene would be focused; everything else would be out-of-focus. For an example, consider many portrait photos; in them the background is blurred while the person is in sharp focus. A deep depth of field would mean that a much larger range of objects at various distances would be in focus. Most landscape photographs are a good example of this.

∙ 12y agoDepth of field is the shortness or longness of the in focus or out of focus area.
Extreme depth of field is taking photos withthree3 different depths without moving your camera (using a tripod is recommended) then blending the images together using a program. It creates an extremely focused image.

∙ 13y agoAlthough there can only be one exact distance from a lens that is properly in focus, it is common to say that objects, say, 10 feet away to 20 feet away are all in focus (because they are not wildly out of focus). But if you reduce the lens aperture then you may increase this depth of field from 10 - 20 feet to 5 to 50 feet. So you are focussing a bit nearer and a bit further. The depth of field is said to have got greater.

∙ 11y agoDepth of field is a term to describe the distance in front and behind the point of focus that will be considered to be in focus. A perfect focus of a lens is a single distance from the lens. Anything in front and behind that point will be out of focus, with the effect becoming more pronounced as the distance from the point of focus increases. Within the distances we perceive as being in focus is the depth of field.
You can control the depth of field by adjusting the aperture on the lens if you have control over the aperture. As the aperture is reduced in size (i.e. when the F-stop number goes up) so the depth of field will increase. Using an aperture of F16 or F22 will give a very long depth of focus while using a larger aperture, say F4 or F2.8 will result in a very short depth of focus.
Changing the aperture changes the amount of light that the lens passes to the sensor. As the F-number goes up, so the time of exposure (the shutter speed) must come down. Most cameras have automatic exposure systems so setting the aperture manually will cause the shutter speed to adjust itself to compensate.
Use a long depth of field to get near and far objects in focus at the same time. Use a short depth of field to get your subject in sharp focus while the background is softer and less defined, so separating subject from backgrounds.

∙ 12y agodepth of field is when your subject is crisp and in focus while the background in unfocused. Like in movies where you usually cant see the background because its blurred out.

Does a telephoto lens give less depth of field than a wide angle lens?
Yes, all other things being equal. The longer the focal length the shallower the depth of field. It also depends on the distance from the lens to the subject and the aperture used to create the photo. For a given lens, the depth of field increases as the subject distance increases. For a given distance, depth of field increases as the aperture gets smaller (e.g. F4 less, F8 more depth).
What is the depth of field on a microscope?
Depth of field is the depth of the specimen clearly in focus and is greater at lower magnifications.
What happens to the depth of field as the magnification increases?
As the magnification increases, the depth of field decreases.
What is depth of field best demonstrated with?
Depth of field is best demonstrated with a slide containing overlapping threads. The depth of field that would increase is the low power objective.
Is the depth of field on a dissecting microscope less than the depth of field on a compound microscope?
No its actually the opposite
Does the depth of field increase or decrease when one moves to a higher magnification on a microscope?
The depth of field decreases.
Can you get a shallow depth of field with a digital point and shoot You should be able to if it has an aperture setting and or manual or does it depend on the lens?
If you set your camera to aperture priority (usually the "A" on the program dial) and select a large aperture, say, f2 to f4, then the resulting image will have less depth of field than at, say, f11. The lens always affects how wide you can open the aperture, but the depth of field is not dependant on the lens other than this.
What happend to the depth of field if magnification increases?
The higher the magnification the lower the depth of field.
How wide is a field hockey field?
60 yards wide
What happens to the depth of field as your move from low power to high power?
Depth of field decreases from low to high. This means what you see under the microscope is blurry. If both objects are not blurry, this means you have high depth-of-field.
What is the difference between maximum depth of field and shallow depth of field on a camera?
Depth of field in photography is 3-dimensional and is measured from the foreground moving along a horizontal plane towards the background. Maximum depth-of-field means most of the scene is in focus and shallow depth-of-field means the minimum is in focus. Shallow depth-of-field lets you lose the background into a nice blur leaving the foreground in focus - good for portrait photography. In landscape photography you would normally choose the maximum depth-of-field so that distant hills were in focus as well as the middle ground and the foreground - in other words, everything in the field of your vision would be sharply focussed.
The depth of field in a photograph is controlled by the?
Depth of field on a camera is controlled by the aperture. The aperture is basically the size of the opening in the lens. A large aperture (or opening) creates a shallower depth of field and a small aperture creates a greater depth of field. Aperture, along with shutter speed, determine how much light goes into the camera. The size of the aperture is indicated by the f/stop number. The numbers usually range from about f/1 to around f/64. The smaller the number is, the larger the aperture is and the shallower the depth of field, meaning less space is in focus.Additional AnswerDepth of field is also affected by the focal length of your camera's lens. For any given aperture, longer focal length lenses (telephoto lenses) have a much narrower depth of field than a standard lens, and shorter focal length lenses (wide-angle lenses) have a much wider depth of field than a standard lens.
