Cinematography & Production Calculators
A comprehensive suite of 10 mathematical and optical calculators engineered for directors of photography, 1st ACs, DITs, gaffers, and virtual production technicians.
Depth of Field & Hyperfocal
Calculate near focus limit, far focus limit, total DoF, and hyperfocal distance for cinema sensor formats.
Field of View & Lens Focal Length
Calculate horizontal/diagonal optical angles of view (AOV) and physical framing dimensions at any subject distance.
Camera Recording Time & Media
Estimate available card runtime and hourly data consumption rates across ProRes, ARRIRAW, REDCODE, and XAVC.
Timelapse & Slow Motion Shooting
Calculate intervalometer delays, total frame captures, event runtimes, and clip playback durations.
Camera Battery Run Time & Power
