Focus point...

[Miss Moo!!]

Hello, this is gonna sound like a stupid question, but I have just managed to learn how to choose my focus point on my D500 on the 11 ponint grid thing... However I was just wondering if it is possible to select more than one focus point?? If so how do you do it??

Only things in the same focal plane can be in focus.

If I understand you correctly, you might need to increase your depth of field by decreasing your Aperture (this is decreasing f8>f11>f16>f22) to bring more of the scene into focus, assuming focal lengths don't change.

No.... Its either just the one (which you can select & move around) or the camera will pick a selection of FP's for you (usually the closest) which could be a selection of 3, 4, 5, 6 etc...

You cant physically select another FP ie 2....

Did that make sense in easy terms :shrug:
