Hyperfocal Hocus Pocus
This past spring, I covered the basics of depth-of-field and the use of the DOF Preview button, but there is a related topic I haven't touched on yet: hyperfocal distance.

Hyperfocal Distance Chart (meters)
The hyperfocal distance is the distance at which a lens should be focused so that everything from infinity to half that distance falls within the depth of field.

HYPERFOCAL DISTANCE.-The hyperfocal distance of a lens is the distance from the optical center of the lens to the nearest point in acceptably sharp focus when the lens, at a given f/stop, is focused at infinity.
HYPERFOCAL DISTANCE
Focusing your camera at the hyperfocal distance ensures maximum sharpness from half this distance all the way to infinity.
Hyperfocal Distance
As mentioned before, setting focus at H, the Hyperfocal Distance, gives maximum depth of field from H/2 to infinity.
H = (L x L) / (f x d)
Where: ...
Hyperfocal Distance
To maximize Depth of Field, you can focus on the hyperfocal distance. Switch your lens to manual focus and focus on the range you have calculated.
Everything from 1/2 of this distance to infinity will be in focus.

Hyperfocal Distance
When it comes to maximizing the DOF, the hyperfocal distance is a very important concept.
Hyperfocal Distance
The Hyperfocal Distance or point is the nearest point to the camera which is regarded as acceptably sharp when the lens is focused at infinity.
HYPERFOCAL DISTANCE - Technically, it is the distance between the camera and the hyperfocal point.
Hyperfocal Distance Distance of the nearest object in a scene that is acceptably sharp when the lens is focused on infinity.
Hyperfocal distance. The distance to the nearest object in focus when the lens is focused on infinity.
HYPERFOCAL DISTANCES
This works the same as it does on conventional depth of field scales. The hyperfocal distance is the same as the result from the formula or the tables for any given f/stop and focal length.

Hyperfocal distance. Nearest subject rendered sharp when the lens is focused for infinity. Focused for the hyperfocal distance and without change of f-number, depth of field extends from half this distance to infinity.
5) Hyperfocal Distance for Focusing: To maximize the depth of field in any image, in a simplified explanation, focus one third into the frame. Hyperfocal settings are more precise and can be found on line, but in a pinch, the one third rule works.
[edit] Hyperfocal distance
The hyperfocal distance is the nearest focus distance at which the DOF extends to infinity; focusing the camera at the hyperfocal distance results in the largest possible depth of field for a given f-number.
Hyperfocal Focusing
This is a technique that will help you manipulate and extend the depth of field in certain pictures, such as a landscape, so the entire depth of the picture appears to be in focus.
Hyperfocal point:
Nearest point to the camera which is considered acceptably sharp when the lens is focused on infinity.

The hyperfocal distance depends on focal length of the lens, the f-stop setting on the aperture and the so-called 'circle of confusion' - this oft-discussed but little understood term is essentially the margin of error of a lens within which a dot ...
What is hyperfocal distance? Hyperfocal focusing is a specialised application of depth of field theory that's perfectly suited to landscape photography. Calculating hyperfocal distance actually quite simple to get your head around.

Fixed focal lenses also include hyperfocal scale which are f-stop numbers written on either side of the focus mark on the lens. These scales are used for setting the lens to the hyperfocal distance for different f-stops.
This is called hyperfocal focusing.
If your camera has a depth of field scale, here is how to do it. Focus your camera at infinity, note the distance on the camera's lens opposite the chosen aperture and set your lens at this hyperfocal distance.
Manual focus and the hyperfocal distance
Because of the "virtual image", don't manually set the focus of your wide-angle lens on the surface to the hyperfocal distance, like you would for a landscape photograph.
Street photographers traditionally will set the lens at its hyperfocal distance.
I normally use an aperture of f/11 to ensure that I get a good depth of field without any distortion, according to the principles of hyperfocal distance.
A more practical purpose of depth of field is to set a small aperture and pre-focus the lens to the "hyperfocal distance" (the closest at which the depth of field extends to infinity from a given distance; ...
Using a similar scrolling interface, you can select your film/sensor size, focal length, f/stop, and distance to the object you are shooting, and the calculator will calculate the hyperfocal distance, the near and far limit of focus, ...
The Applet will also calc the "Hyperfocal-Distance" represented by the first focus point where the Depth of Field covers the area between 1/2 of the H.-Distance up to infinity.
Ren, I think you are referring to "hyperfocal distance" and those little numbers on the old lenses that used to help with depth of field focusing. Now, it's the 1/3, 2/3 rule, right?
Wenn the camera uses a fixed aperature and a fixed focal length and also to this two parameters fitting hyperfocal distance has been adjusted, everything halfway from hyperfocal distance to infinity will be in focus.

The lens was set to a hyperfocal distance that gave acceptably-sharp pictures if the subject was a given distance from the camera and correct exposure depended upon bright sun illuminating the scene.
Mickey Mouse camera of 1995 has such a built-in flashgun, an 33mm f/8 lens;[1] the hyperfocal distance for such a lens is about 4.6m and if this is indeed its fixed focus then at f/8 everything from 2.

But if you decrease magnification more, rear DOF will become larger and larger. At some distance, rear DOF will even reach infinity. We call this point “hyperfocal distance'. Also see the explanation on the optical formulas page.
