Depth of field table

Distances are measured from the sensor plane. Each cell shows the near and far limit of acceptable sharpness in metres (∞ = to infinity). Circle of confusion = sensor diagonal / 1500.

FAQ

What is the depth of field of the Fujifilm XF 56mm F1.2 R at f/1.2 and 3 m?

At 56mm, f/1.2 and focus at 3 m, acceptable sharpness runs from 2.94 to 3.06 m — about 13 cm in total.

What is the hyperfocal distance of the Fujifilm XF 56mm F1.2 R?

At 56mm and f/8 on a APS-C sensor the hyperfocal distance is about 20.9 m. Focus there and everything from 10.5 m to infinity is sharp.

How do I get more background blur with the Fujifilm XF 56mm F1.2 R?

Open the aperture to f/1.2, move closer to your subject and increase the distance between subject and background. You can check the result in the calculator above.
