![]() Using your focus magnification tool will help you find where your horizon just comes into focus. Hyperfocal Distance - Simple DoF Calculator is a super simple calculator that allows photographers to easily calculate the hyperfocal distance. Do not zoom your lens, as discussed in the previous paragraph. If you have a mirrorless camera, use your focus magnification tool. If you touch your lens zoom ring after starting this process, you’ll need to start over. Use the actual focal length of the lens for depth of field calculations. You must set your aperture and compose your photo before finding hyperfocal distance. Notice that hyperfocal distance increases when increasing focal length or aperture (smaller f-numbers: f/2.8, f/4), reducing depth of field. Just introduce your camera, focal length and aperture and read the values on the chart. Manually focus on the near flower and slowly adjust focus until the horizon appears sharp. The hyperfocal distance chart is the fastest way to calculate the hyperfocal distance for the settings you need. We’re looking for the closest distance we can focus while making our horizon appear sharp, right? So why don’t we just manually focus near us, then adjust our focus until the horizon juuuust starts to come into focus? How to Calculate Hyperfocal Distance WITH JUST YOUR CAMERA When you’re “on the go,” traveling, wandering the city or the countryside, there’s a better way to calculate hyperfocal distance. If your hyperfocal distance is 40 feet, everything from 20 feet to infinity will appear to be in focus.ĭifferent focus scales – in-display distance scale, analog lens scale, and digital lens scale.If your hyperfocal distance is 20 feet, everything from 10 feet to infinity will appear to be in focus.When you calculate hyperfocal distance and set your lens focus, everything from half your focus distance to infinity is going to appear in focus. The book definition of hyperfocal distance is the closest a lens can be focused to make the horizon appear sharp. From a few feet in front of you and all the way to the horizon (infinity), it’s all gonna look sharp. When your lens is set at the hyperfocal distance, you’re going to get the deepest depth of field possible for that focal length and aperture. ![]() Your depth of field is going to vary be based on: ![]() Everything beyond that 8-foot near limit is in focus. A deeper depth of field would be something like 400 feet, or even infinity, where the far limit is beyond the horizon. That’s a fairly shallow depth of field, in terms of landscape photography. ![]()
