SharpField is a concise, fast and flexible depth of field calculator and rangefinder designed by a lighting cameraman for use in the television and film industries.
The rangerfinder uses the phone's camera to calculate distances, so is a handy alternative to using measuring tape.
It is primarily designed for use with HD and SD broadcast video cameras but includes settings for film cameras and higher resolutions video cameras.
When working with video, the calculator is calibrated using the resolution of the camera and the size of its sensor. This produces slightly stricter results than some other calculators on the market. But in tests, this calculator has produced pin sharp results which could withstand enlargement in post. Ensuring focus down to the pixel level.
Of course, all cameras have different resolutions and sensor sizes. Another advantage of this application is that it is tailored to work with specific cameras. Unlike many other depth of field applications which just give generic settings like "1/3inch CCD". The camera types included with SharpField are:
