Use this free Depth of Field (DOF) and Hyperfocal Distance calculator to improve your photography sharpness and focus accuracy. Ideal for landscape, portrait and professional photography work.
Depth of Field (DOF) refers to the area in your image that appears sharp. A shallow DOF isolates your subject, while a deep DOF keeps more of the scene in focus.
Hyperfocal distance is the focus point that maximises sharpness from half the distance to infinity — essential for landscape photographers.
Do full frame cameras have more depth of field?
No — they typically have less depth of field at equivalent framing.
What aperture gives sharpest images?
Usually f/5.6 to f/11 depending on lens.
