howdy folks -

when it comes to depth of field  in Poser7 -
I am noticing that the fStop dial in poser is not causing a depth of field result that is on par with a real camera in the real world

If I turn the fStop number HIGHER with the parameter dial, I am assuming that this is creating a larger depth of field ( I am assuming that in  Poser, higher Fstop=a smaller aperture opening, like a real camera  )

However, what happens to me is,  with the figure about 10 feet from the camera, I am setting the focus distance  to the face of the figure and cranking up the fStop value a bit,  so that i have a larger depth of field,  in the hope that  i will end up "in focus"  from somewhere slightly in front of the figure , to somewhere slightly behind the figure. The reason I am trying to do this is with the default fStop value,  a DOF render is too out of focus  when you start  getting towards the back of the hair, so I am trying to slightly increase DOF.  

Am I wrong in assuming that fStop functions in Psoer like a real camera?

Thanks
