This tool helps photographers calculate optimal camera settings to achieve maximum image sharpness. It considers lens focal length and the nearest and furthest elements in a scene to determine the best aperture and focus distance, surpassing traditional depth of field standards.
3.1
September 27, 2018
This is just a wee update to bring iOS 12 compatibility and support for the various new iPhone X models. Don't forget all the Version 3.0 changes: * The interface gets an even cleaner, more spacious look. Simply slide the pointers on the distance scale to set distances (the old slider “thumbs” are now gone). Note that you do not need to keep your finger on a pointer as you slide it — you can move your finger to the side as you slide, all the better to see where the pointer is pointing. * There are also all manner of minor changes. For a host of additional features (too numerous to list here) check out the "Pro" version, OptimumCS-Pro, here on the App Store.
MoreOptimumCS is a tool for photographers that calculates the optimal camera settings to achieve maximum image sharpness. It helps photographers determine the best aperture and focus distance for their scene and lens, considering factors like defocus blur and diffraction.
OptimumCS utilizes an approach that moves beyond the older international depth of field standard, which was based on the limitations of pre-World-War-II film emulsions. It aims to achieve the full sharpness potential of modern digital photography.
OptimumCS is particularly designed for landscape, architectural, and travel photography, or any genre where achieving maximum sharpness over a large depth of field is crucial for the final image quality.
The process is designed to be natural for photographers. You compose your shot, identify the nearest and furthest elements that need to be sharp, input their distances and your lens's focal length into OptimumCS, and then set your camera according to the indicated focus distance and aperture.
OptimumCS is available for iPhone, iPad, and iPod devices, making it accessible for a wide range of Apple mobile users.
OptimumCS is a paid application, available for a one-time purchase of $2.99. This provides full access to its features without any recurring fees or in-app purchases.
The latest version of OptimumCS, 3.1, was released on September 27, 2018. This indicates a history of development and refinement for the application.
OptimumCS has an age rating of 4+, meaning it is suitable for users of all ages. This reflects its straightforward and educational nature.
