DOF Calculator < OSD parameters < Main Menu
! ! !
The Depth Of Field Calculator displays 5 distances in meters…
•
SD – Distance to the subject (Near Limit + DOF*0.33). Also called the Focal Plane.
•
NL – Near Limit. The distance where acceptable sharpness begins.
•
FL – Far Limit. The distance where acceptable sharpness ends.
•
DOF – the Distance between the Near Limit and the Far Limit.
•
HYP - Hyperfocal distance. Depending on the aperture and zoom settings, the hyperfocal
distance reflects the optimal distance for an object to be photographed, i.e. the sharpness of
that object will be the sharpest at this specific distance.

Experimentation may be required to clarify these 2 preceding settings, they will effect script
commands that establish focus, and some other camera behavior, such as focus bracketing.
The following 5 settings will determine which DOF values will appear in the OSD. When the
“Show DOF calculator” is set to “Separat”, all 5 values are always displayed. When it is set to
