What is the hyperfocal distance of a lens?
What is the hyperfocal distance of a lens? Definition 1: The hyperfocal distance is the closest distance at which a lens can be focused while keeping objects at infinity acceptably sharp. When the lens is focused at this distance, all objects at distances from half of the hyperfocal distance out to infinity will be acceptably sharp. How do you calculate hyperfocal distance? Compose your image. Measure (or estimate) the distance to the nearest foreground element you want in focus, and then double that distance. That is the hyperfocal distance. Recall that when you focus at the hyperfocal distance, everything from...
