The area in front of and behind the plane of focus in the scene which is acceptably sharp (for intended enlargement). Tip: a little more depth requires a lot more light (for smaller Stop) or a wider-angle lens. Don't call it depth of focus, a related but different matter.

Abbreviated as DOF, depth of field is a unit of measurement that represents the range of distances within an image where the focus is acceptably sharp.

While a lens focuses on a single plane of depth, there is usually an additional area in focus behind and in front of that plane. This is depth of field. Depth of field increases as the iris is closed. [..]

Photographer term for relative sharpness of features in an image regardless of their distance from the camera when photographed.

A term used to describe the areas of a picture both in front and behind the main focus point which remains in focus.

The range or distance from the nearest object to the farthest object in a scene that must be clear in a photograph; desired zone of sharpness.

The zone, or range of distances within a scene that will record on film as sharp. Depth of field is influenced by the focal length of the lens in use, the f-number setting on the lens, and the distance from the camera to the subject.

The distance between the nearest and farthest objects in a scene that appear acceptably sharp in an image.

Range in front of a camera's lens in which objects appear in focus. Depth of field varies with subject-to-camera distance, focal length of a camera lens and a camera's aperture setting.

The range of acceptably sharp focus in front of and behind the distance the lens is focused on.  

This is the difference between the nearest and furthest points in a scene that remain in sharp focus.  Depth of field is dependent on the F-stop and focal length of the lens.

When a subject is brought into focus, the area just in front of and behind the focus point will also be in clear focus. This range of clarity is called depth of field. Depth of field increases as the lens' angle of view widens, as in a wide- angle lens, and also as the aperture size is reduced (f-stop increases).

The measurements of the closest and farthest planes in front of the camera lens between which everything will be in sharp focus; a depth of field from 5 to 16 feet, for example, would mean everything closer than 5 feet and farther than 16 feet would be out of focus.

Area in perfect focus in front of and behind the subject. Anything within this 'depth of field’ will appear sharp.

The distance between the nearest and furthest parts of a subject that are acceptably sharp. For more information, see this Depth-of-field article in the Techniques section.

The in-focus range of a lens or optical system. It is measured from the distance behind an object to the distance in front of the object when the viewing lens shows the object to be in focus.

The distance range between the nearest and farthest objects that appear in acceptably sharp focus. Depth of field depends on the lens opening, the focal length of the lens, and the distance from the lens to the subject.

The in-focus range of a lens or optical system. It is measured from the distance behind an object to the distance in front of the object when the viewing lens shows the object to be in focus.

The distance range from the camera to the nearest and farthest points in a scene that are in sharp focus. Use the aperture to determine the depth of field, the smaller the aperture (f11, f16, etc) the longer the depth of field.

The area within a photograph from the nearest subject to the furthest subject which is relatively sharp according to the photographer.

The area in the frame that is in focus.

A term used to describe the areas of a picture both in front and behind the main focus point which remains in focus.

The distance between the nearest and furthest objects that appear acceptably sharp in a given photograph. Or, in other words, the range of sharp focus beyond and in front of the main object the camera is focused on. It is common in underwater photography that macro images are shot with a small depth of field and wide angle images with a large one.

The area within which objects are in focus; a large depth of field allows a great range of objects to be in focus simultaneously, while a shallow depth of field offers a very limited area in focus. Depth of field normally depends on how far "open" a lens is (a lens works much like an eye, with the pupil opening or contracting to c [..]

The distance through which an object being imaged may move in or out of the plane of best focus while maintaining an acceptable level of contrast at a particular spatial frequency or resolution. 

is the range that is also in focus on either side of the actual point of focus. The smaller the aperture of the lens, the greater the depth of this focus. The focal length of the lens is also important, a shorter (or wider) lens has a greater depth of field than a longer lens at the equivalent aperture.

The portion of the image that appears in focus. Higher f-stop numbers mean more of the image will be in focus and vice versa.

distance between the nearest point and the farthest point in the subject which is perceived as acceptable sharp along a common image plane.

the area between the nearest and farthest points from the camera that are acceptably sharp in the focused image

The the distance of the area of focus from the foreground of the subject to the background. The smaller the aperture is, the longer the distance will be. Conversely, a wide aperture will minimize the distance of the depth of field.

the amount of distance between the nearest and furthest objects that appear in focus in a photograph; also known as the zone of sharpness. Depth of field depends on the lens opening, the focal length [..]

To put it simply, depth of field is a measure of how much of an image, apart from the main subject, remains in focus. In other words, how much of the background and the foreground of the subject is sharp.

Depth of field is the area, range of distance, or field (between the nearest and farthest planes) in which the elements captured in a camera image appear in sharp focus.

The amount of distance between the nearest and farthest objects that appear in acceptably sharp focus in an image. Depth of field depends on the size of the aperture, the distance of the camera from the subject, and the focal length of the lens. The bigger the aperture, the greater the depth of field

simply put, it is the apparent sharpness of a photograph considering the distance between the nearest and farthest elements that appear to maintain acceptable sharpness and clarity.
