Small digital cameras have short focal-length lenses. They have an inherent tendency to give a greater apparent depth of field, so selective focus effects (where the subject is sharp and everything else is soft) are harder to do. To get this effect, there are two approaches. First, shoot as much as you can at telephoto, zoomed-in focal lengths and back up to get your subject in the frame. Telephoto settings have less depth of field. Second, use a neutral density (ND) filter so you can shoot at the widest lens opening possible (the smaller numbers such as f/2.8 or f/4) with your camera. Wide lens openings give less depth of field. |
