Camera Utility Apps

TrueDoF-Pro is a major step forward in working with depth of field. Specifically designed for working professionals, the app offers features, versatility, customisability and no-fuss ease of use to make it the ideal tool — a tool that simply does its job (superbly) without getting in the way.

And it’s a tool that works the way YOU want it to work:

* Directly set any relevant quantity you like, even the near and far limits of DoF.
* Lock any input in place; vary any other input.

Want to “work backwards,” whereby you specify the depth of field you’re after, and have the app tell you what aperture and focus distance you need? Couldn't be easier. Enter what you want directly; get instant results.
Want to lock in a particular far limit of depth of field (e.g. as a cinematographer, would you like to lock in the far end of a set)? Slide the far limit pointer to your desired distance, and hit its lock button. Freely change any other input you like.


A key (and unique) TrueDoF feature is the option to include the effects of diffraction in the calculation of DoF, giving a much more accurate indication of how sharp the image will be (see the article "Image Sharpness vs Aperture" at www.georgedouvos.com).



A partial list of features:

* Elegant, interactive, easy to read interface, with both graphical and numerical display of data

* Fast, no-fuss input; real-time output
* Unprecedented input options: Want to specify a far limit of DoF? Or a near limit? Now you can.
* Lock any input (aperture lock not available on iPhone 5s)
* Option to “work backwards” — set your desired depth of field, see what focus distance and aperture you need
* Hyperfocal function — lock your far limit at infinity
* Option to include the effects of diffraction
* Optional visual indication of the limits imposed by diffraction
* Customisability of numerical readouts (show, hide, display distances or blur size, display front and rear DoF as distances or %)

* User-definable focal length presets for the scroll wheel's rapid selection buttons, for super-fast selection of YOUR lenses

* Support for all formats up to 8x10in

* User-selectable distance scales

* Distance units changed directly on main screen by tapping m/ft button

* Optional "distance snap" function

* Optional input of focus distance via keypad

* User-selectable aperture scales (reading to f/22 or f/64)

* Aperture slider snap to half or third stops (user selectable)

* Easily switch between settings for different cameras: a simple slider to set a blur spot diameter (circle of confusion); no tedious listing of camera models
* Blur spot diameter is displayed on the main screen, so you won't find yourself working with the wrong setting

* Facility to specify wavelength, for use when shooting in the infrared or ultraviolet parts of the spectrum
* Visual indication of wavelength on the main screen
* Context specific help
* Comprehensive User Guide



A note on intended use:


In any DoF calculator, you specify a sharpness criterion — the blur spot diameter. All calculations reference that value. 
In some situations (e.g. landscape photography) it is best to work quite differently: Specify the distances to the nearest and furthest objects that you wish to appear sharp and, from that, determine the focus distance and aperture that will give the SHARPEST POSSIBLE IMAGE (not simply one that meets your preset sharpness standard, which may not be the best possible). For that, there is only one app: OptimumCS-Pro, the unique optimum camera settings calculator (this is NOT simply a DoF calculator that "works backwards").

And if, in your landscape and architectural photography, you would like to achieve insanely huge depth of field, with astonishing image sharpness, try FocusStacker. Take the guesswork out of the focus stacking technique and achieve remarkably consistently (and excellent!) results.

LensSensor is the essential app for machine vision integrators providing flexible tools to aid the specification of the lens, camera and camera interface for your application.

A flexible lens calculator defines the required geometry, focal length or visual angle of a lens.

The resolution calculator provides the real world resolution that can be achieved with a particular sensor along with information to identify resolution demands of the lens.

The interface calculator identifies compatible camera interfaces that meet the data rate and cable length demands specified by the frame rate, resolution and colour format of your application.

The app also provides easy access to the latest products and news from STEMMER IMAGING.

This app is designed for photographers as a quick reference tool in the field for depth of field and hyperlocal distance information, especially when shooting landscape or street photography when you may want or need to switch to manual focus.

It has an intuitive user interface to show the focus distance relative to the near and far limit. All necessary information is right there at a quick glance. All shooting parameters can be easily adjusted by simply touch and slide.

Slide left or right on camera settings to change the value.

- To change focus distance quickly, slide the red focus circle up or down.
- The app currently supports 35mm cameras, including full frame or APS varieties.
- Unit of measure supports both metric and imperial system.
- Shake device to reset the focal length and distance information.

The Lumariver Depth of Field Calculator is an app that helps you maximize the sharpness of your photographs. It’s primarily intended for landscape, architecture and all other genres where the goal is to have a sharp image front to back. Rather than being a calculator for theoretical exercises it’s designed for being a practical tool in the field, and it has a thorough user manual that describes real use cases. The user interface is optimized for one-hand operation using scrollers.

In addition to the normal depth of field calculator it supports tilted depth of field (tilt-shift lenses, Scheimpflug principle) as well as focus stacking. The functions you don't intend to use can be turned off to keep the user interface as clean and simple as possible. Custom circle of confusion sizes can be set, which in addition to a fixed number may be relative to airy disc diameter and/or pixel pitch. It even supports dual circle of confusion sizes, one “sharp” and one “soft” to make it easy to do controlled trade-offs in difficult situations. By entering your own camera(s) and lenses once you have them easily accessible by name making the workflow efficient in the field.

Distances can be shown either in meters or in decimal feet.

When you take a lot of photos, you need an app like this to make choosing the perfect shots quick and easy.

Photo Aide is a flexible and powerful photo calculator with a large photo equipment database:
- The ISO, aperture, shutters speed, focal length, and guide number values are adjustable in the range that your camera, lens, and flash support.
- It has a large database of DSLRs, lenses and flashes from all major manufacturers.
- It supports custom equipment — if your camera, lens, or flash is not in the database you can easily add it.
- It allows you to quickly adjust the parameters by using sliders.
- When one parameter is changed the others are updated instantly
- All modules support calculating any parameter from the others.

You can calculate:
- Depth of field and hyperfocal distance
- Aperture, distance, or focal length that give a certain depth of field
- Vertical, horizontal, and diagonal angle of view for a specific focal length and sensor size
- Focal length corresponding to an angle of view
- The recorded rectangle image size (field of view), for a focal length and subject distance
- Focal length or subject distance that provide a specific field of view
- Equivalent ISO, aperture and shutter speed combinations
- Flash subject distance for a combination of ISO, aperture, flash head zoom, and flash output power
- ISO, aperture, or flash output power that give a proper exposure for a specific subject distance
- Ability to save a preferred list of cameras, lenses, and flashes for fast access

Other features:
- Large database that has cameras, lenses, and flashes currently produced by all large manufacturers
- Supports custom cameras, lenses, and flashes — when you can’t find your gear in our database
- Supports both metric and imperial units
- Saving and retrieving ISO, aperture, and shutter speed combinations
