Using Depth of Field Techniques with the iPhone's Camera
Part of the iPhone Photography & Video For Dummies Cheat Sheet
The depth of field in your photography can have a dramatic effect on your subjects. A focus distance of four feet or more with the iPhone 3GS/4 means everything to the horizon will be in focus. But a focus distance of 4 to 18 inches can bring some compositional magic to your photos.
| Focus Distance to Subject (inches) | Near Focus Point (inches) | Far Focus Point (inches) |
|---|---|---|
| 4 | 3.5 | 4.5 |
| 8 | 6.5 | 10 |
| 12 | 9 | 18 |
| 18 | 12 | 34 |
