iPhone 4S camera limits - foreground/background
 

Was wondering... can the iphone 4S capture an image but keep both foreground and background items clear?

as in the photo below... how can I have every plane clear and not so blurred?

I cannot answer your question but I do want to say NICE COLLECTION!
I spy an B777, Air Canada...My favorite plane! Love the B777

You could try to light up the room more (forcing it to use a smaller aperture) so that everything is more in focus. Though I'm not sure if that makes any difference for the iPhone camera....it's fundamentally different from normal camera lenses.

Most people want that blurry background :P

yup.. just started collecting these jets 2 months ago..already purchased over 30 now and i got 5 more coming next week.. the AC B777 is the only 1:200 scale I have.. .rest are 1:400...and yes, she's a beauty!

as pictured: AC B747-400, AC A340-300, AC B777-300ER

is there an option for infinity focus?

maybe you'd have to use an app, like an HDR app or something, to merge two photos together i think. not sure if it'd work.

This!

Get a real fricking camera S. !!!

Maybe a different camera app with manual focus would be able to do this....

I tried using Camera+, but couldn't figure out how to get that to work.

Manual focus does nothing if the aperture doesn't change.

It's not the focus. It's the aperture of the iPhone 4S.
The iPhone 4S uses a F/2.4 and it is a fixed F-stop so there is no way stopping it down to a smaller aperture (bigger number, ie: F/5.6, F/8 etc..).
There is no possible way to have everything in focus at that angle and distance with the iPhone 4S native camera app.
