Hyperfocal Distance Calculator for Digital Cameras

Hyperfocal Distance:
The hyperfocal distance is the closest distance at which a camera lens can be focused while keeping objects at infinity
acceptably sharp. When the camera lens is focused at this distance, all objects at distances from half of the hyperfocal
distance out to infinity will be acceptably sharp.

Formula for hyperfocal Distance

2
f
h   f
A c
where:
h= hyperfocal distance, mm
f= actual focal length of the camera lens, mm (e.g. 14, 16, 18, 23, 35, 50, 70 etc.)
A= Aperture Setting of the Digital camera (e.g f/1.4, f/2.8, f/5.6, f/8, f/11, f/16, f/22 etc.)
c= Circle of Confusion, mm
For definition refer the following link:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circle_of_confusion

Inputs
Focal Length, f = 16 mm
Aperture, A = 16
Circle of Confusion, c = 0.02 mm (Refer worksheet "Values for Circle of Confusion")

Outputs
Hyperfocal distance, h = 816 mm
0.82 m
2.68 ft (the distance you should focus your camera for best sharpness within
the Depth of Field)
Depth of Field achieved = 0.41 to ∞ in meters (calculated figure in Cells 'B31' & 'B32' are 1/2 of hyperfocal length)
1.34 to ∞ in feet

For 'Depth of Field (DOF) refer to the Wikipedia link below:
