ADVANCED PHOTO CALCULATIONS – WITH FOCUS ON DOF
AFOcalc is a tool that helps you choose the right settings and / or the right equipment when you are going to take pictures.
Questions like: ’Is it possible to take this picture of this place with my equipment?’ or ’I want a narrow depth of field. What options do I have (and how can I set the camera)?’ or ’I want to take a picture of a friend with a certain background. Where should I stand?’ can be answered.
The special feature of AFOcalc is that it can calculate any value or values of focal length, aperture, distance, depth of field (DOF), object size (or magnification) (depending on camera setup) and background size on the basis of the other values. AFOcalc has also a unique feature that shows ’out of focus’ as a graph and as a value depending on the settings and how far from the focus point the background is located.
You can easily compare settings between different cameras if you entered the information on them. It’s just to swipe the result matrix. The program also shows if you have or have not the equipment to shoot a picture with the actual setting, of course depending on the stored information of your cameras.
