Depth of field calculator

How much of your scene is in focus — the near and far limits, total depth, and hyperfocal distance — for your exact sensor, focal length and aperture.

  • 0.89 ft in front of your subject, 1.08 ft behind it.
  • Hyperfocal distance: 101.2 ft — focus here and everything from 50.6 ft to ∞ is acceptably sharp.
  • Min. handheld shutter: 1/50s (the 1/effective-focal rule for 50mm equivalent) — go faster for moving subjects, slower is OK with stabilization.

A starting guide using a standard circle of confusion for the sensor — your real-world sharpness depends on print size and viewing distance.
