Distance Setting mark?
Hello,
New guy here :} Learning as fast as I can thanks to all of you...
So I am reading Peterson's book (Understanding Exposure) and trying to figure out how to properly shoot depth of field. In the book one thing he confuses me on is a comment in figuring out how to focus when shooting at small aperatures (f16-f22 for example). He talks about " aligning the distance above your distance setting mark on the lens. Your focal length will determine the distance you will choose." I know I'm new, but I've read this section multiple times, consulted my lens manual, and consulted my camera manual. I can find the distance index and mark to align, but how do I know what distance is appropriate for the focal length? Is there a reference out there to indicate which distance to focus at for each focal length or am I missing something. Any help would be greatly appreciated...
Thanks!
Bill
