Hyperfocal Focusing

I understand what HF is and I have downloaded a nice little chart, but I was what the easiest way of doing it.

Example F16 @ 18mm = roughly .6 meters

Now with this example would it be easier to set the focus ring to .6 meters (or as close as possible) or just look for an object that looks to be 0.6 meter away from me, auto focus on that and reframe my shot.

What do you fine folks do?

For HF focusing, I always focus manually. AF is really only an option for hand-held images where you can lock it and recompose.

Manual focusing.

Ok so I manually focus on a object that I estimate to be located at the HF distance? Or did you mean you just use the distance indicator on the lens?

Thanks for the fast reply by the way

When using the hyperfocal technique, I always manual focus using the distance guide on the lens. My newer lenses have fairly limited distance markings, but I find it easy to approximate and err on the side of caution.

Use the indicator on the lens if you have one, otherwise yes - try to guesstimate an object that's close to the HF distance.
