I just can't seem to get my head round it!
Assuming the following scenario...
I want to take a landscape shot, have an app installed on my phone which asks for the focal distance the lens is at and the aperture. I set the lens to 17mm and aperture to f11, the app tells me the hyper focal point is 5.59ft.
Am I right in assuming I frame my shot as normal, picking my focus point (let's say say in this instance its the centre of the shot), and I then manually adjust the focal ring to 5.59ft?
Do I need to worry about what I pick as my focal point (assuming it's within the total distance covered by half the hyper focal point to infinity?)
Thanks for any hp on this!
