[DM41X] Hyperfocal Distance and Depth of Field calculator

Post by jthole »

This was tested on the DM41X, but should also work on the DM41, since no additional ROMs are used

This is an adaptation of a Depth of Field calculation that I have stored in my HP 17Bii (I love that solver!). Given the subject distance (in meters), focal length of a lens (in mm), the aperture, and "circle of confusion", it computes the depth of field, near point, far point, and hyperfocal distance (all in meters).

Here is a good article by Fujifilm on the Circle of Confusion, and hyperfocal distance.

As an example: (using CoC=0.010 for the Fujifilm APS-C sensor)

DISTANCE? 10
FL? 35
APERTURE? 2.8
COC? 0.010

returns:

DOF 4.832 (R/S)
HFD 43.750 (R/S)
NP 8.145 (R/S)
FP 12.976 (R/S)

If the DOF (and Far Point) is infinite, it is represented as 99999.999.

As an example: (wide angle lens, focused far away)

DISTANCE? 100
FL? 14
APERTURE? 8
COC? 0.010

returns:

DOF 99,999.999 (R/S)
HFD 2.450 (R/S)
NP 2.392 (R/S)
FP 99,999.999 (R/S)
