About Visual DOF
You can very well calculate the DEPTH-OF-FIELD these days. But what happens beyond the DOF area? Well, everything is blurred, but how much? Visual DOF app will tell you exactly.
Introducing to you the tool that estimates for you not only DOF, but also how non-sharp (blurred) is your background.
First thing the app provides you with the visual of your background and how non-sharp it would be. Just move the controls to see the changes in sharpness.
Second, the app measures the blurriness – by the details of the background that can or cannot be recognized (’resolved’) in the final image. For example, wrinkles, hair, small letters of logo may be your details. So you can easily calculate your shooting settings to keep some fine details sharp or intentionally blurred.
Additional great feature of this app is that it helps to avoid the artifact called ’moire’. Just make sure that the minimal resolved detail of the background is slightly more than the smallest unit of the troublesome grid.
See more detailed guide at http://dev.kadru.net
This great tool is based on the works by Harold M. Merklinger.
Visual DOF app supports some most popular cameras / sensors:
- full frame 35mm
- Canon APS-C
- Nikon APS-C
- 4/3 standard
- Black Magic Cinema / Pocket / Production 4K cameras
- Phase One Digital Back (1.3x crop)

Love this app given it five stars as it is good as it is, really helps with visualising how a photo will come out and how aperture works. Now for the wish list 1 a pay for version with no adds, although the adds are not intrusive 2 numbers at both ends of the sliders 3 say 3 or 4 lens presets that you can name, set focal length range and aperture range 4. And the other stuff you have lined up I'm looking forward to as well I wish you good luck with this app

Great app and one of a kind, it really stands out from the hundreds of regular dof calculators. With just a couple of tweaks to the controls it would be perfect. Great support from the developer too!
