Calculate depth of field for your camera, then save the setup for your next shoot. DOF Pro combines near and far focus limits, hyperfocal distance, custom sensors and saved configurations in one app. SEE WHAT STAYS SHARP A live scene shows your settings at work. Flowers, a dog, a house and distant mountains sit at real distances, and each blurs according to your focus distance, aperture and lens. Open up the aperture and watch the background melt; zoom in and the scene tightens. You can turn the scene's animation off in Settings. MADE FOR IPHONE DUO Stand it up and the results face you while the sliders lie flat under your thumbs. Open it like a book and results and controls each get their own half, clear of the fold. Close it and everything moves to the outer screen, with your controls in the side bar. Layouts move smoothly as you fold. ADJUST YOUR SHOT Change subject distance, aperture and focal length with three horizontal sliders. See total depth of field and how much falls in front of and behind your subject. USE YOUR OWN SENSOR Choose an included camera profile or create a named camera from its active sensor width and height in millimetres. Useful for custom camera setups, drone sensors and known recording crops. CONTROL THE SHARPNESS CRITERION DOF Pro calculates a default circle of confusion for custom sensors. Set an optional CoC override for a built-in or custom camera, and restore its default when needed. SAVE AND REUSE SETUPS Save camera configurations and load them again later. Saved configurations and custom sensor settings stay on your device. Presets use the camera's current CoC setting. WORK IN YOUR PREFERRED UNITS Use metres or feet and inches. Camera profiles and macro, telephoto and extended distance ranges are included in the paid app. No ads. No in-app purchases. No subscription. No sign-in required. Calculations work offline with the available camera catalog; catalog updates need an internet connection.

Verdict
The clearest difference is ads: Shortwave Guide at none against DOF Pro's shown. DOF Pro's advantage is review sentiment (50% vs 20%) and update cadence (every 4 weeks vs every 2 months). On in-app purchases, monetization model, device support and iOS requirement there is nothing between them.
