How to Use the Depth of Field Calculator
Depth of field is the distance range that appears acceptably sharp in front of and behind your focus point. Select your sensor format, focal length, aperture, and subject distance to calculate the near limit, far limit, total depth of field, and hyperfocal distance.
Landscape Photography
Use hyperfocal distance to balance foreground and distant sharpness when composing wide landscape scenes.
Portrait Photography
Compare apertures to see how a wide aperture reduces depth of field and isolates your subject.
Macro Photography
Enable Macro Mode to calculate the extremely shallow depth of field and effective aperture at close magnifications.
Planning a long exposure after choosing your aperture? Use the ND filter calculator to find a filter and target shutter speed for moving water, clouds, or daylight exposures.
