Depth of Field Chart

The Depth of Field chart shows total depth of field for common subject distances and apertures, with the smaller numbers in each cell giving the precise near–far focus range. This chart provides an alternative to using the Depth of Field Calculator, allowing for quick answers to your questions. Do you need to know if a 35 cm handbag remains fully sharp at f/16? Adjust the sensor, focal length, and unit above the table to recompute every cell.

PhotoRobot Depth of Field Chart

Total depth of field for common subject distances and apertures. The smaller numbers in each cell show the near–far focus range — useful for checking whether a 35 cm handbag, a 5 cm earring or a 2 m car panel will fit fully in focus.

Sensor
Focal length 50 mm
mm

Slider covers 16–300 mm. Type any value (4–1200 mm) into the field above for wider or longer lenses.

Distance unit

Each cell shows Total DoF on the top row and the Near – Far focus range below. "∞" means the far limit reaches infinity (subject is at or beyond the hyperfocal distance). Recommended studio apertures highlighted: f/8 — f/22.

Estimate near and far focus limits, total depth of field, and the hyperfocal distance for any combination of focal length, aperture, sensor format, and subject distance.
