A camera setting that overrides the automatic focusing and sets it to infinity so that landscapes and distant subjects come out sharp regardless of where the camera would automatically have focused.
How to focus to or on infinity with a digital SLR camera?
When reading manuals or photography magazines and books, you will come across the term, 'focus your camera to infinity'.
With autofocus, one of the many ways camera companies discovered to save money was to take away the infinity stops.
Infinity.
Infinite distance. In practice, a distance so great that any object at that distance will be reproduced sharply if the lens is set at its infinity position, i.e. one focal length from the film.
Interspersed Aspect Ratio ...
Infinity
Focusing point at which the lens gives a sharp image of very distant objects, such as the far horizon.
Infinity. The farthest distance marked on the focusing ring of the lens, generally about 50 feet. When the camera is focused on infinity, all objects at that distance or farther away will be sharp.
Infinity - distance which light appears to reach the lens in parallel rays
Flash - a brief, intense burst of light

Infinity. A distance so great that light from a given point reaches the camera as virtually parallel rays. In practice, distances of about 1000 times the focal length or over.
INFINITY - Distance from the camera that is far enough away that any object at or beyond it will be reproduced sharply when the lens is focused on its infinity setting.
Infinity
This is setting at one end of the distance scale on a lens. It is a symbol that looks like the numeral 8 on its side. At that setting, the farthest object or background in your photo will be in focus.

Infinity isn't infinity: I focused my 35mm lens mounted on a 12mm extension tube at infinity which, due to the extension, became just one inch from the flower. At f /22 the depth of field was 1-1/8 inches.

Note how the focus range increases as the aperture is stopped down.
Infinity Lock - A feature on some cameras that sets the auto focus point at "infinity" in order to prevent out-of-focus pictures.

If the child is careful with toys and machines and facile with computers, you might consider getting a low-end digital camera.
A typical infinity focus icon. A few cameras have an infinity focus mode that takes advantage of hyperfocal distance.
Carbon Infinity: looked very solid but heavy and bulky. Lots of movements.
Your lens can go to infinity - and beyond! Yes, many lenses can be adjusted past the infinity marking on the lens barrel.
Afocal A photographic method that uses an eyepiece in the telescope focused normally (you look through it) and a camera with its lens focused at infinity. You then just point the camera into the eyepiece.
This distance is known by the term infinity. For all practical purposes, light rays from a distant object or an object at 600 or more feet away may be considered to be parallel. But this is only for practical purposes.
With tubes attached, the camera will lose the ability to focus to infinity.
Using a bellows attachment between the camera body and the lens to extend the lens to film plane distance. Similar to an extension tube, but adjustable.
Focal Length: The distance, as marked on the lens, between the film and the optical center of the lens when the lens is focused on infinity. The distance is often listed in millimeters, such as 50mm.
Distance of the nearest object in a scene that is acceptably sharp when the lens is focused on infinity. The distance to the nearest plane of depth of field ( the nearest object in focus) when the lens is focused on infinity.
6 it is possible to preset the lens to be sharp from 3 feet to infinity. You can also use the 15 mm to shoot wide-angle closeups - isolating the eyes, fins or mouths.
Nikonos 20 mm. Sometimes marine life is too shy to fill the frame with the 15 mm.
Focal Length The distance between the film or CDD sensor and the optical center of the lens when the lens is focused on infinity. On most cameras the focal length of the lens is marked in millimeters on the lens mount.
The hyperfocal distance is the point where from half that distance to infinity are recorded sharp. By setting the infinity mark over the f-stop marks, you can find the distance for any f-stop. Zooms are also slower than fixed lenses.
So by focusing at infinity, you are in fact wasting 2/3 of your depth of field. Focusing at a point in front of infinity and choosing a small aperture will maximize DOF. This is called hyperfocal focusing.
Infinity mode sets the lens to focus at infinity. Because these cameras work with an infrared beam to set focus, any interference in the beam reflectance will cause focusing on that particular spot.
p=138#comment-59749 The focal length of the lens is the distance from the plane in which the lens forms an image of objects at infinity to the node of emission. It's a matter of physics and the formation of the image.
The dedicated macro 1:1 lens is obviously the key component as it allows one to actually take the shot at such a close range (1:1) and also offers continuous focusing from that distance to infinity.
depending on the focal length of your lens, you can treat anything beyond the distance setting as infinity.
The hyperfocal distance is just an estimate for average people.
Many photographers set the lens to infinity as it makes sense in that the background subject is often very far away. By doing this, much depth of field is wasted as opposed to setting the lens to the hyper focal setting.
1, 2 show the key differences between the Infinity Optics (CFI60) system and the conventional finite optics system. In finite optics systems, as shown in Fig. 1, the specimen A-B focuses 150mm from the mounting plane of the objective lens.
So how do you get a lens that performs well both focused at infinity and focused at life size 1x magnification? Well, you use what are called floating elements.
I focused the lens at infinity so there would be no texture at all in the image. I underexposed the image about 3.5 stops so the resulting image would only show 'dark noise'. I used Photoshop's ACR3 to convert the RAW file.
Each villa on Fregate Island has their own butler and infinity pool

Instead of the normal procedure of positioning the infinity distance mark at the center, position the infinity symbol above the "16" mark on the right. This brings infinity just within the depth-of-field at f/16.
However, it was realized that the scene stretched from only inches in front of the camera to the infinity point. Not all of the scene could be in perfect focus.
The hyperfocal distance is defined as the focus distance which places the maximum allowable circle of confusion at infinity.
If we focus the lens at or near infinity, we are therefore wasting the portion of the available DOF that extends beyond infinity (a strange concept, I admit, but this is really just another way to say that it is wasted).
The pros are that they can be used for general photography as they focus from infinity right down to half or even full life size; there is no light loss; very easy to use; and there is no loss of image quality.
explanation of hyperfocal distance (I follow Peter Tellone on that one) : the only theory you need is 1/3 DOF (Depth Of Field, ‘the sharp zone') is before focal point, 2/3 is behind and you don't want any of that 2/3 go beyond infinity because ...
All (manual) lenses can be set to infinity focus distance (point of max. potential image quality). Furthermore the focusing system can be used as an optional "extension tube" with increased close focus capabilities.
The majority of lenses that focus from infinity down to half life size should be considered as 'close'focus' lenses. These are the type that can be considered good for general photography.
Normal lenses are optimised so that sharpness and contrast get better towards infinity focusing, macro lenses are the opposite - providing brilliant sharpness, contrast and high general image quality up close.
The Hyper Focal Distance refers to having infinity in focus, and then whatever else that is in focus that is closer. The Hyper Focal Distance changes with the aperture f/stop setting. Smaller apertures like f/16 create more "Hyper Focal Distance".
This range is usually from about ten feet to infinity. Fixed focus lenses are usually found in cameras in the lower price ranges.
Better cameras have auto focus.
For example, when focusing at "infinity," 1/3 in front and 2/3 behind (which goes beyond the frame) will be sharp, therefore a very soft foreground.
A lens with the ability to focus from infinity to extremely closely, allowing it to capture images of tiny objects in frame-filling, larger-than-life sizes.
The distance from the film to the optical centre of the lens when the lens is focused on infinity. Focal length on most adjustable cameras is marked in millimetres on the lens mount.
If possible, you want a good straight vertical line that's close to the lens and one that's near infinity. For the near line, you can use a spare light stand if you have one handy.
This position works for objects that are from 20 metres away to infinity. For closer pictures, your camera must be nearer to the centre pivot. Just unscrew the nut of the roofing bolt and shorten the projecting arm of your slat.
The hyper focal is a certain distance, with whom you get the depth of field; the hindmost focal point is allways at infinity.
The distance from the optical center of the lens to the image sensor when the lens is focused on infinity.
Nearest point to the camera which is considered acceptably sharp when the lens is focused on infinity. When a lens is focused on the hyperfocal point, depth of field extends from a distance halfway between this point and the camera to infinity.
