When you focus not every thing in front of the camera will be in sharp focus.Away from the camera something will be in focus.(all before this will be gradually blurred.)Now from this "in-focus" point to some more distance things will look sharp. After that point things will again gradually blurr.The area between these two points, within which things look sharp is called depth of field. What will be the distance between these two points or what is the range of septh of field? It mainly changes with the aperture setting. It is an 'inverse' relation; larger the aperture, lesser the depth of field. (Some lenses have a scale for this on their rings.)

Sometimes we want to 'fix' the depth of field.Modern DSLRs help us achieve this in a particular setting.That setting is called auto depth of field priority setting.

How you actually do it depends on the camera brand. There are good sites. Please try YouTube with this phrase "setting auto depth of field in canon' for example.

What is wide depth of field?

The term "wide depth of field" is not used. Depth of field can either be shallow or deep. The definition of depth of field is this: Depth of field is defined as the range of object distances within which objects are imaged with acceptable sharpness. A shallow depth of field would mean that only objects within a small distance in a scene would be focused; everything else would be out-of-focus. For an example, consider many portrait photos; in them the background is blurred while the person is in sharp focus. A deep depth of field would mean that a much larger range of objects at various distances would be in focus. Most landscape photographs are a good example of this.


What does F1.7 mean in photography?

The f-number is indicative of aperture. The smaller the number, the larger the aperture is, and the more light is let in. The Depth-of-Field is also reduced with a smaller f-number. f/1.7 is a very large aperture, and there will be little depth of field, but lots of brightness.


What is a field in photography?

Possibly by 'field' you mean a category or type, such as Photojournalism, or Portrait, or Wedding photography. Or maybe you refer to 'depth of field', which is the distance front to back in focus. Sorry to be vague, I have worked in photography for many years, and have never considered the idea of 'field' as such.
