3. Properties 1) The depth of field will increase if the diameter of the blur spot Z’ is allowed larger. 2) For the photographic objectives, the expression of the relative aperture and depth field is From the above expression, we know the depth of field is in inverse ratio with the relative aperture and the focal length. Example: Suppose the effective focal length of a camera objective is f’=50mm, the relative aperture of the objective is 1:5, the allowable Z’＜0.05mm, if the required object is at 2m distance, find out the position of the farthest and the nearest image plane? The depth f
