Hyperfocal distance


The closest distance at which a lens can be focused so that its depth of field extends to infinity while maintaining the same aperture and focal length as the original photograph. When the camera is focused at the hyperfocal length, the depth of field will go all the way to infinity and exactly half of the hyperfocal distance.
