Increase clarity (clarity is like contrast but only effects the mid range of the image.)


Be carefull about clarity, it gives a really ugly sliver look to skin.

I think some of the posts, whilst correct, are misleading to the original post. Although f8 will give a sharp image across the frame, that isn't what is demonstrated in the sample videos. These demonstrate a localized sharpness which is the contrast between what is inside and outside of the focal plane where a wide open aperture is used. Therefore the sharpness is exaggerated by comparison, or in other words, this the benefit of a really smooth bokeh.
To achieve this you wont be using f8 but f1.8. It might be the same camera you are using, but is it the same lens? You just will not get that look with f8 no matter what settings you use.
