- About:
-
- PDoF is a Depth-of-Field calculator. It is designed to help
- photographers to estimate the sharp area of picture.
-
- Installation:
-
- Install PDoF.prc file to your Palm (in Windows double-clicking the
- file should do it).
-
- System Requirements:
-
- The program is tested only under PalmOS 3.1.1 but it should work with
- every version of PalmOS greater or equal than 2.0.
-
- How To Use:
-
- Just enter all required parameters and hit the Calculate button.
-
- For example, if the film used is 35mm and the camera is focused to 5.0
- meters, the focal length is 35 millimeters and aperture is 8 then enter
-
- focal length: 35
- aperture: 8
- distance: 5
- film size: 35mm
-
- and hit the button. The results should be:
-
- near edge of the sharp area: 2.415 meters
- far edge of the sharp area: [inf] meters (i.e. infinity)
-

- History:
-
- Version 0.x
-
- The original code was actually a simple Perl script called pdof (Perl
- Depth-of-Field). It is still available at my web site.
-
- Version 1.0
-
- This was the first attempt to make a Palm program. Actually I'm quite
- proud of it, because the program was simple, easy to use and it really
- worked. This version didn't do much. It only collected the parameters
- and outputted the results.
-
- Version 1.1
-
- This version included better floating point output and the infinite
- values were expressed better than in previous version. Also, in this
- version saving all parameters as preferences was added so they were
- available next time, when the program started.
-
- Version 1.2
-
- Current version. The possibility to choose a film size added.
