Hi all,
I am still learning and getting to grips with DOF. I was wondering about DOF when shooting people. I think I understand this but guess I just needed to confirm my understanding and get some advice.
When shooting people if I wanted to focus on the face of the subject I will usually have the AF point around the eye and a large aperture. However if I wanted to focus on the same subject but have their whole body in focus and sharp - would I step back/zoom out with a slightly higher f stop? Would I again use one AF point focusing on eyes.
I would at this stage start playing around with this on my camera, but I'm on the computer and thought I would ask!
