How do you get all the subjects in focus?
If you want both subjects in focus, then you will need to use a higher aperture number (f-stop). The higher your f-stop number, the more depth of field and the more you will have in focus! So shooting at say, 2.8 would probably not get both subjects in focus. If they were standing close together it might be possible.
Which aperture is good for getting everything in focus?
f/11
To get everything in focus, you will need to narrow your aperture and use a technique called “deep focus”. Most professional photographers will recommend using f/11 as a rule-of-thumb. This should effectively ensure that the elements from the middle ground to the background of your image remain in focus.
How do I set my camera focus to infinity?
To set infinity focus on your camera lens, spin your focus ring to the infinity symbol: ∞. Not every kit lens offers this option. Many autofocus lenses do not have a built-in infinity focus setting. Older lenses are more likely to feature an infinity setting on the focus ring.

Why are my images not sharp?
If the subject in your image is blurry, but something closer to the camera or farther away is perfectly in focus and sharp, it is most likely a focus issue. If the whole image is blurry and nothing is sharp, it is generally due to using too long of a shutter speed handheld.

How do you use the focus button on a camera?
Once it achieves focus (your camera should beep if you have that turned on), keep the same pressure on the button and recompose your image. Once you have it how you want, press the button the rest of the way down to take the photo. Your camera may have nine different focus points, or it may have over 100.
Where is the best place to focus your camera?
The short answer is: somewhere in between, and closer to the foreground than the background. (There’s more depth of field behind the spot you focus on than in front, so focusing closer to the foreground will allow you to stretch the depth of field to encompass both the closest and farthest objects.)
Why do my pictures look out of focus?
Poor Technique. If your technique isn’t precise, you’re going to get image blur or out of focus results nine out of ten times. Poor technique could be anything ranging from using a slower than optimal shutter speed to an inaccurate tracking movement or nonwillingness to use a tripod—or even incorrect breathing when shooting.
