SHOOTING DISTANCE - The distance from the camera to the subject.

Shooting distance
Refers to the distance between the subject and the film plane.
Flash shooting distance range :
The distance range over which a flash can effectively provide light. Flash shooting distance range is controlled by the amount of flash output available.
Maximum shooting distance refers to how far back you can get from a subject while still filling the image frame. Since getting too close can cause distortion (page 62), this can often be important.
Which basically means one can choose any shooting distance/ratio from the subject between the 1:1 (life-size) value and upwards.
From roughly the same shooting distance, IS is enabled for the video sample below.
A quirk of P&S cameras is that they usually have a parallax error but it's normally corrected for normal shooting distances. This is because most viewfinders are offset to the side of the main lens.
To give you an idea of the difference in shooting distance between focal lengths, a 100mm macro lens used at approximately 45cm from the subject will have the same magnification as a 50mm lens used at only 23cm from the subject.
Plus, you can enhance the composition because the greater shooting distance tends to cluster subjects. Getting a compressed angle of view on a flock of birds or a herd of zebras can help emphasize the repetitive pattern of their coats.
Tips on indoor basketball-(grandson playing AAU) different light, intensity, and shooting distance are making consistance difficult. Have enough good shots to know equipment is not problem-operator is.

Depth of field varies according to focal length of the lens, chosen aperture and shooting distance. Depth of Focus A measurement of the distance behind the lens wherein the film plane will remain sharply in focus.
The distance from the front of the lens to the subject. Usually applied to close-up and macro photography. Not to be confused with "Shooting Distance" as this is that between the subject and the film or sensor plane.

Focal Length (camera lens)
The lens-to-focal-plane distance at the infinity setting. Focal length affects shooting distance, which affects Perspective. See: Angle of View.
Again, for a fixed shooting distance, the amount of perspective distortion is unchanged.
Whatever the situation, be prepared to shoot quickly and remember to bring lots of memory cards with you! There's nothing more frustrating than to come within shooting distance of an animal and lose the photo because you've run out of memory.
Some shooters prefer to slip a small wedge under the back end of the light to make the beams more coincident at normal shooting distances. In fact, some manufacturers of strobe holsters intentionally angle the light downward.
Leave the lens focused at your typical shooting distance; if you focus close on the card you may actually bias your measurements to overexpose by 1/3 of a stop since some lenses that extend as you focus close can lose as much as 1/3 stop of light.
Indeed, now we'll actually get more depth of field on the DX digital shot. The increase in depth of field due to either the decrease in focal length or the increased shooting distance will more than offset the decrease due to the lower circle of ...
At that speed, the watermelon will take up its own space, plus a mere .2" spread - not enough to show blur from the shooting distance.
and enlarged and cropped to contain the same view, the pictures will have identical perspective. A moderate long-focus (telephoto) lens is often recommended for portraiture because the perspective corresponding to the longer shooting distance is ...
