No DOF implies everything except at a single distance from the lens is out of focus. Is that what you mean or is everything in focus?


Max :rolleyes:
There's no such thing as a bad photo, just the wrong audience.
EQUIPMENT: Canon Powershot S3 IS, 2x Transcend 2GB x150 SD, 2x 4GB Class 4 Dane-Elec SDHC, LensMate 52mm Adapter Tube and lots of stuff to hang on it.
A couple of flashes and a couple of strobes. My other camera is a Sony DSC-P200.

Could you post some pictures with your settings? Once we see them then maybe we could offer some good suggestions.

Depth of field on a short focal length lens as the S2 has will be very deep (everything will be pretty much in focus). Is that what you mean? If you want a shallow DoF, you'll need to work at the longer focal lengths your camera offers, with a subject close to the camera , at widest possible aperture, and with as much separation between your subject and the background as you can manage.
