What is Hyperfocal Distance and Why Should I Care?
by AdministratorWhenever you focus your lens there will be an area that is in focus and areas that are out of focus. The in focus area is referred to as the focal plane.
The import thing here is that 1/3rd of the focal plane is ahead of the thing you’re focused on and 2/3rds of the focal plane falls behind what you’re focused on. Focus your lens at infinity and the leading edge of the area that is in focus is the hyperfocal point for that lens. Focus on that point instead of infinity and you’ll have the greatest range of focus from infinity back toward your location.
