Depth of field
A proportion that indicates how much of an image is in focus, measured from the point in the scene that is closest to the camera to the point in the scene that is farthest away from the camera and still appears sharp. The aperture that is employed, the distance at which the lens is focused, and the focal length of the lens are the three primary factors that determine the depth of field.
