let me see if i understand this 2 correctly.... am i right to say that:solarii said:Not to fret... both infinity focus and hyper focal distance are inter-related although they refer to different things.
You can't explain the concept of hyper focal dist without first understanding what infinity focus is, so by reading up, its like killing 2 birds with 1 stone
Anyway it takes some time to decrypt newbie codes.... if they knew how to describe it precisely, they'll probably know whats going on and won't have to ask in the first place!
infinity focus: focussing at long distances so pictures of landscapes, for example, would be sharp...
hyperfocusing: manual focusing at hyperfocal distance, which depends on camera's CoC and aperture settings, to get half of hyperfocal distance to infinity sharp.
