Hi! I'm messing around with my camera i got a few months ago, but i have always had one issue with it when taking up close pictures of things. Say i'm shooting a bark texture, the top part of the image is always blurry, sometimes both top and bottom are. I have tried most of the focus settings (wide focus, local focus etc) but everything is the same.
My camera is Sony A58. Any help would be great!

Here is a quick summary as well: http://www.cambridgeincolour.com/tutorials/depth-of-field.htm
Also, increasing your F-stop (the F number) is a decrease in aperture. Larger number = smaller aperture (hole that lets light through) = larger depth of field.
