hey this is Daisy over at service photo today I'm going to explain to you how to use the hyperfocal scale on your cameras and lenses in your photography I'll demonstrate for film Shooters with a Nikon F3 and a 20mm f3.5 lens and for Fuji Shooters my own personal X Pro 3 with a 23 mm f1.4 so focusing with the hyper focal scale or some call it scale focusing is a good method for street photography because it allows you to get everything in Focus before you've even composed your shot using this met
hod your photo should be Rel relatively sharp within the hyperfocal range now with digital things towards the edge of that range so either at infinity or the close Focus distance may not be perfectly Tac sharp although for most people other than pixel peepers it's usually pretty good with film however because the medium is just a little less sharp in general a little more grainy it won't really be a problem your photos will be pretty sharp overall so you'll want to set your aperture to something
smaller like f8 or below in this case I've got it set to F16 and then you'll you want to move Infinity where it's marked over on the lens over to the appropriate aperture marking so F16 in this case and then everything between the F-16 line and the other line on the other side of the same color will be in approximate Focus now to do the same thing on a Fujifilm camera you want to open up your menu go to the autofocus manual focus settings scroll down until you find the setting that says depth o
f field scale you'll have two options pixel basis and film format basis so pixel basis will only tell you the exact point at which the camera is focus we want to use film format basis because that will give us a nice big scale that we can use to see our approximate depth of field indicated here by the little blue line around the focus Point thanks for watching I hope these tips help you out with your photography
