Depth of Field Calculator

Camera Settings

How it Works

  • Hyperfocal Distance: The closest distance you can focus on to keep the background sharp to infinity.
  • Depth of Field: The range of distance that appears acceptably sharp.
  • Circle of Confusion: Based on sensor size, determines what is considered "sharp".

Calculate Depth of Field & Hyperfocal Distance

Calculate depth of field (DoF), near limit, far limit, and hyperfocal distance for any camera sensor, aperture, and focal length. Essential for photographers.

1

Select Sensor

Choose your camera's sensor size (e.g., Full Frame, APS-C).

2

Enter Lens Info

Input your focal length (mm) and aperture (f-stop).

3

Subject Distance

Enter how far away your subject is.

4

Analyze

View the near limit, far limit, and total depth of field range.

Mastering focus is critical for sharp photography. Our Depth of Field (DoF) Calculator helps you determine exactly how much of your scene will be in focus based on your camera sensor, lens focal length, aperture (f-stop), and subject distance. It also calculates the Hyperfocal Distance—the focus point that maximizes sharpness from half that distance to infinity.

Key Features

Multi-Sensor Support

Supports Full Frame, APS-C (Canon/Nikon/Sony), Micro 4/3, Medium Format, and 1-inch sensors.

Frequently Asked Questions

Hyperfocal distance is the closest distance at which a lens can be focused while keeping objects at infinity acceptably sharp. Focusing here maximizes depth of field.

Sensor size affects the 'Circle of Confusion' limit. Smaller sensors (like APS-C or Micro 4/3) have smaller CoC limits, which technically gives them deeper depth of field for the same equivalent field of view compared to Full Frame.
