Visual depth of field calculator with hyperfocal distance for landscape, portrait, and macro photography
đHow to Use This Calculator
Show Guide
Select Your Camera Body
Choose your camera from the dropdown. This automatically fills in the sensor height, which is used to calculate the Circle of Confusion for your specific camera.
Enter Lens Settings
Input your focal length (e.g., 50mm, 85mm, 200mm) and select your aperture (f/1.4 to f/22). If using a teleconverter, select 1.4Ã or 2.0Ã.
đĄ Quick Tip: Wider apertures (f/1.4, f/2.8) create shallow DOF for portraits. Smaller apertures (f/11, f/16) maximize DOF for landscapes.
Set Focus Distance
Enter how far away your subject is from the camera. You can use meters or feet.
Calculate & Visualize
Click "Calculate DOF" to see your depth of field range, hyperfocal distance, and a visual diagram showing exactly what will be in focus.

âšī¸ Note:
These advanced settings adjust the Circle of Confusion, which determines what's considered "acceptably sharp".
Larger prints or closer viewing require stricter standards (smaller CoC = less DOF).
