circle of confusion

[DAVESADE]

I would like to know the dimension (diameter) in mm’s of the “circle of confusion” for the SONY DSC-HX5V camera lens. I need it in order to enter it into a database, which calculates the Depth of Field for various camera settings. I can’t find this particular figure in any of the specification sheets or on the Internet sites.

Is it possible also, that for compact cameras this programme isn't suitable, as one must put in the selection for the lens as well, thus the data above is not applicable for this camera?

Thanks for your advice,

DaveSade

Hi,

Sorry for the delay, I missed your question.
I didn't find the circle of confusion of your camera, but looking at other Sony cameras it must be 0.005 mm

WinMoDof was first designed for reflex cameras, but it was adapted to support compact cameras. Typically, the "focal equivalence" setting has been introduced for compact cameras. You have to create the correct lens for your compact camera and make sure that it is selected when you select your compact camera.
