Depth of Field Study
A series of five photos taken with a Micro Four Thirds Olympus OMD EM-10 camera with a 12-40mm (24-80mm full-frame equivalent) f2.8 Olympus Pro zoom lens.
Each photo was shot in a range of f-stops: f2.8, f3.2, f3.5, f4, f5, f5.6, f11, f22.
Before each series of photos was shot, the focal length was either zoomed out to 32-40mm (64-80mm 80mm full frame equivalent equivalent or zoomed in to 12-15mm (24-30mm full-frame equivalent).
ISO was adjusted automatically and ranged from 160 - 500.
Shutter speed was adjusted automatically and varied from 1/4000 sec to 1/80 sec.
Click on the first photo thumbnail to enlarge it. The EXIF information for the photo will then appear in the righthand column of this window. Use the arrow keys on your keyboard to move from photo to photo, and watch how the depth of field changes (some are quite subtle) and how the EXIF information varies.
