The camera list has been updated as of the beginning of January 2022. If your camera model is not listed, please send an email specifying the missing one, and it will be added to the next release.

Have you ever captured a moment and wished for a different depth of field in your photos? Understanding the impact of different camera settings on depth of field can be complex. However, with this Depth of Field Calculator app, these challenges are simplified, allowing you to effortlessly determine the effects. By inputting the subject distance, focal length, and f-stop, the app calculates the near and far distances of acceptable focus, providing a clear visualization of the depth of field.

For example, envision taking a photo of a bee on a flower with only the bee in focus. By setting the subject distance at 200 mm, f-stop at f/5.6, and focal length at 50 mm, the app reveals a depth of field of 3.41 mm. Adjusting the settings to f/22 extends the depth of field to 13.39 mm, achieving the desired effect of sharp focus on the bee while blurring the background.

This tool empowers photographers to enhance their skills by comprehending how camera settings influence depth of field. With an intuitive diagram display, users can instantly visualize the impact of adjusting settings.

The Depth of Field Calculator enables quick calculation of acceptable focus distances based on your selected parameters. Simply set the focus distance, f/stop, and focal length to generate a visual representation showing where focus begins and ends. Additionally, users have the flexibility to choose their preferred unit of measurement for focus distance.

When using this app, users need to specify their camera model to ensure accurate calculations based on each camera's specific Circle of Confusion value. The app provides a list of camera manufacturers and models for easy selection.

If your camera model is not included in the list, you can request its addition via email. Furthermore, users can manually enter their Circle of Confusion value for precise calculations tailored to their camera's specifications.

In essence, this user-friendly app streamlines the process of determining depth of field by offering a customizable and informative tool for photographers seeking optimal results in their images.
