OK, my title sounds a little odd... What I am looking for is to print something that I can hold directly in front of the camera lens to make it quickly and surely focus from an object that is 20 feet away to an object that is 2 inches away (6 meters -> 5cm)
I film actors at 20 feet, then I immediately want to film a "slate" with a 1,2,3, or blank on it. I had been using a photograph of a focus-chart, but the AF still hunts trying to get focus on the focus chart. Is there a pattern I should use that will help the AF? Can you point me to a JPG of something that I can print?
