Im seeing this a lot here.. and now Im curious to know what DOF is.. Is it very important to use when taking photos??? Thanks!
DOF is Depth of Field. My definition of it, which will probably be better defined by others is related to the amount of background which is in focus. A shallow DOF has the subject clearly in focus while the background is very much out of focus and blurred. A wider DOF is when both the foreground is in focus as well as the background. The aperture settings control how much or how little of a DOF you capture. An aperture value of 2.8 will show a much more shallow DOF than one of say 22. Hope this helps, and again, I would expect that someone else will come along with a much more detailed answer than I.
