Fixed-focus

(focus-free) Lens-camera system that has no method of focusing the lens. The lens system is focused on a fixed point, usually at the hyperfocal distance. With the use of a medium size aperture (f11) most subject distances from 6 ft to infinity can be rendered reasonably sharp. The simplest cameras use this system.
