I'm having difficulty understanding how to capture a sharp image when several individuals are next to one another and at various depths.

Say I have four people sitting on a bench 10 feet from me. Who do I focus on in order to get everyone in focus? What about if those people were standing next to one another, but at various distances?

When I think of capturing individuals standing in a straight line, I would simply increase my f/stop to ensure a greater dof. How does this apply with my question?

Thanks

Focus on the one who is in the middle of your DOF. You may wish to increase the aperture for greater DOF.

f/4-f/9 maybe what you are looking for.
