Best Answer

If you're using a DSLR (digital single lens reflex) camera, you need to have it set to Av (aperture priority). The lower your aperture, the less depth of field and vice versa.

If you're using a point and shoot camera, you cannot manually control your aperture settings, the various modes do that for you.

The depth of field can be checked with your F-stop or can be figured out by looking at your object, if the F stop is around 9-22 then you will see more Depth of field. At F2.8 or low the picture will have blurred back ground (called as Bokeh effect) , If you are trying to click the picture of a person keep the F stop as low as possible, or landscape keep the F stop high.

Does a telephoto lens give less depth of field than a wide angle lens?

Yes, all other things being equal. The longer the focal length the shallower the depth of field. It also depends on the distance from the lens to the subject and the aperture used to create the photo. For a given lens, the depth of field increases as the subject distance increases. For a given distance, depth of field increases as the aperture gets smaller (e.g. F4 less, F8 more depth).
