that comes in handy for wide angles in particular. Literally, you can not not worry about focusing, as the DoF is so large, its sweet as, so you can just set the distance scale to approx (optional!) and FIRE!

Apparently NASA did this in space: used wide angles, and point and shoot it, no need for focus [remember the 60's had no(?) AF cameras]
