Formula and methodology
Formula: Hyperfocal distance H = f²/(N×c)+f, with f and c in the same length unit.
The result is the idealized distance at which focusing places the far depth-of-field boundary at infinity under the selected blur criterion.
This result follows the calculator's declared inputs, precision, validation boundaries, and model limits.
Input contract
- Focal length — mm; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000000
- f-number — minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000000
- Circle of confusion — mm; minimum 1.0E-6; maximum 1000
Worked example
| Input | Value |
|---|---|
| Focal length | 50 |
| f-number | 8 |
| Circle of confusion | 0.03 |
Hyperfocal distance ≈ 10.47 m.
Assumptions and limits
- Focal length, f-number, and circle of confusion are positive; millimetres are used consistently.
- The thin-lens and circle-of-confusion approximation is used.
- Sensor enlargement, viewing distance, lens aberration, diffraction, and autofocus behavior are not modeled.
