[QUOTE="Horoscope Fish, post: 215056, member: 13090"] To avoid that sort of confusion I don't use those particular words. Instead I would say, "Stop-down to f/11" for instance. Or, conversely, "Stop-up to f/4." In these instances "stop" is short for f-stop, "down" means to use a smaller aperture and "up" means to use a wider aperture. This manner of speaking seems to be pretty conventional in my experience. DoF is a *result* of changing aperture, but has no bearing on the verbiage of what you're doing *with* your f-stop; it's a variable you need to understand to achieve your desired outcome. [/QUOTE]
