Depth of Field on the Fujifilm GFX 100S II
The Fujifilm GFX 100S II's Medium Format sensor with a circle of confusion of 0.043mm means its DOF characteristics differ from other camera systems. The GFX 100S II uses a 43.8×32.9mm sensor — 1.7x larger than full-frame. Despite sharing a similar diagonal to full-frame for CoC calculations, medium format lenses are designed for larger coverage, giving a distinctive rendering quality.
Key DOF Concepts for Fujifilm GFX 100S II Shooters
- Hyperfocal distance: Focus at this distance and everything from half that distance to infinity will be sharp — useful for landscapes and street photography.
- Wider aperture (lower f-number) = shallower DOF — portrait shooters often use f/1.4–f/2.8 to isolate subjects.
- Longer focal length = shallower DOF at the same subject distance and aperture.
- Closer subject = shallower DOF — at macro distances, DOF can be a fraction of a millimeter.
