I have an older camera (that I can't seem to put my hands on right now...) that has symbols in lieu of the hyperfocal distances.
for instance, it has an outline of a single head, an outline of three heads, as tho' it were a group of people, and a mountain range.
Those actual distance settings might correspond to 5 feet, 15 feet and 30 feet.
These settings would allow reasonable sharpness images, at f/8.0, that cover just about all possibilities, giving a fully manual camera a point-and-shoot convenience.

Hmmm.....
I used to believe, that "zone focusing" was a feature in cameras, that do
not have a REAL Auto Focus system:
Instead it focuses in Zones. This could be 4 zones or more: 1-1.5 m, 1.5-3m,
3-7m and 7m to infinity. The camera Auto Zone Focus System will choose the
most apropirate zone before exposure. As opposed to a convcentional
autofucus. A fast way to go with a wide angle lens P&S camera. I think I
have seen this described in camera adds.
