  Sharpness Focus .If nothing in your image is sharp or if your central subject is not sharp but other parts of the photograph are, your camera was improperly focused. Depth of Field . If your central subject is sharp but the background or foreground is less so, you probably didn’t use a small enough aperture to get the depth of field you wanted.

  Sharpness Camera Movement. If the image is blurred all over, with no part sharp, the camera moved during the exposure. Some dots appear as lines and edges blur as the image is "painted" onto the moving image sensor. Subject Movement . When some of the picture is sharp but a moving subject appears blurred, the cause is too slow a shutter speed.

  Increasing sensitivity Toreduce blur caused by camera movement, some cameras let you increase the image sensor’s sensitivity (or ISO) to light although this adds some grain to the image. Increasing the sensitivity means less light is needed for a picture so the shutter speed is higher. Increasing sensitivity is a good way to get pictures without flash in places such as concerts and museums where flash is prohibited.

  On this speedingtrain, the part closest to the camera looks the most blurred while the farthest part looks sharper. Since all parts of the train are moving at the same speed, this shows how distance affects blur

  A small aperturegave enough depth of field to keep both foreground and background figures sharp.

  Focus Settings Mostdigital cameras have an autofocus system that automatically adjusts the focus to make the subject in the center of the viewfinder appear critically sharp. However, some cameras provide other ways to focus and this is a good thing. Autofocus often has trouble focusing in scenes with little contrast, when the object in the focus point is brighter than the rest of the scene, when the subject is poorly illuminated, when both near and distant objects fall within the focus point, or when the subject is moving quickly. If the camera can’t focus, some cameras beep or blink a lamp. If this happens, use focus lock to focus on a subject at the same distance. Some cameras also let you switch to manual focus.

  D F Aperturesize . The smaller the size of the lens aperture (the larger the f-number), the greater the depth of field. The larger the aperture, the shallower the depth of field. Camera-to-subject distance . As you move father from the subject you are focused on, you increase depth of field. As you move closer, you decrease it. Lens focal length . Zooming out to a wider angle of view increases depth of field. Zooming in decreases it.

  How To: DecreasingDepth of Field Photograph in dim light to open up the aperture. Zoom the lens in to enlarge the subject. Move closer to the subject. Switch to aperture priority mode and select a large aperture such as f/4.
