Formulas
|
depth of field (near) = hyperfocal distance x focus distance hyperfocal distance + focus distance |
|||
|
depth of field (far) = hyperfocal distance x focus distance hyperfocal distance – focus distance |

|
Hyperfocal distance = focal length2 circle of confusion x f-stop |
|||
|
|
|||
|
exposure time = shutter angle 360 x frames per second |
|||
|
f-stop = focal length of lens diameter of lens opening |
