Depth of Field Calculator: Calculate the depth of field (DOF) for your photography setup. DOF determines how much of your scene appears sharp in focus, from the nearest to farthest acceptable sharp points.

Photography Tips
🎯 Focus Strategy
Focus 1/3 into the scene for maximum DOF
📏 Distance Matters
Closer subjects = shallower DOF
🔍 Aperture Control
Wider apertures = shallower DOF
📐 Focal Length
Longer lenses = shallower DOF
📱 Sensor Size
Larger sensors = shallower DOF
🎨 Creative Control
Use DOF for subject isolation
