USING THE CALCULATOR. In order to calculate the depth of field, one needs to first decide on what will be considered acceptably sharp. More specifically, this is called the maximum circle of confusion (CoC), and is based on the camera sensor size (camera type), viewing distance and print size. The default is to say that features smaller than 0.01 inches are unnecessary, when viewed in an 8x10
What is depth of field (DOF) The simplest definition for depth of field is the area of your image that is in focus. More specifically, the distance between the nearest and the farthest object that are in focus. The depth of field depends on 3 things: Lens size - Shorter lenses will have more depth of field. Selective focus is easier to achieve with longer lenses. F-stop - Smaller values for f-stop (a wider aperture) will make the circles of confusion larger before and after the focus distance, resulting in less depth of field. In blender you can setWith a very wide aperture opening, only the object(s) at the specific focal distance from your camera will be in focus. In addition, the closer your focal point is to your camera's lens, the shallower the depth of field will be. The further away the focal point is (as with landscape photography), the greater your overall depth of field will be.
The target allows us to measure depth of field at either 1, 10, 20 or 40 lp/mm over a maximum depth of 50mm. The flat field resolution of this system is approximately 15 lp/mm at 0.3X primary magnification. For purposes of our experiment, a blur spot resolution of 0.1 mm or 10 lp/mm was chosen. Depth of field measurements were taken at three
