Guys,

Can someone enlighten me on what is "Hyperfocal distance"? Kind of did some googling, read a bit, BUT still don't really quite get it. How does it apply for landscape or taking pictures mainly with a UWA/WA lens kind of shots? Do we really have to calculate the distance etc and/or there is a way to decide roughly and how will it affect if we really have no clue on this hyperfocal distance when taking landscapes (in particular).

On another topic, when you do a typical landscape, wide kind of shots, where would you "focus" on? Where is your camera shutter "half press" focus? Just some random trees/mountains/hills/objects from afar? How does this relate or have any connection with my above mentioned hyperfocal distance thing?

Ok, all these sounds so noob.. but please enlighten somebody! Thanks ah! :embrass:

Focus to infinity means the lens will focus to endless length. Basically all the way to the horizon.

Focus to infinity + aperture stopdown gives you everything in focus.

And where does the focusing distance starts? From the focal plane inside your camera body to your subject.
