Hey, so I was reading Understanding Exposure and he says sometimes something like "i set the aperture to f/22 and then focus did not matter". Not exactly those words but this is what I got from reading what he said sometimes.
The smallest the aperture, say f/22 or f/32, for even more depth of field, the more the background will also be in focus. Right?
So if I put on the smallest aperture and focused on something in front of the subject, shouldn't it render everything in focus? From the focused foreground to the subject all the way to the furthest background?
Anyway, I picked up my camera and did some tests, with my aperture set at f/22 and f/32.
My subject was about 2 meters in front of the camera and the only way to get it in focus was to set the focus precisely on it. If I manually focused in front of it, or behind it, the subject would be out of focus, even though I had my aperture as small as possible...
What's the matter here?
