Focal length equivalents & field of view#

Multiply any focal length by 1.46 to get the full-frame field of view. Angles are for a rectilinear lens focused at infinity.

Equivalent aperture#

Exposure is identical at the same f-number on any format; equivalence only describes depth of field and total light.

Diffraction & pixel pitch#

With 13.65 µm pixels, diffraction starts to soften pixel-level detail around f/20.3. For maximum sharpness keep landscapes between f/11.2 and f/20; stopping down further trades detail for depth of field.

Night-sky exposure limits#

Longest exposure before stars trail. The NPF rule accounts for pixel pitch and is stricter than the classic 500 rule — use it for pin-sharp stars on high-resolution sensors.

Handheld shutter speed guide#

The reciprocal rule uses the equivalent focal length. High-resolution sensors may need one stop faster than this for pixel-sharp results.

Frequently asked questions#

What is the crop factor of the Canon EOS C100 Mark II?

The Canon EOS C100 Mark II has a crop factor of 1.46× relative to 35 mm full frame (diagonal 29.6 mm vs 43.3 mm).

What size is the Canon EOS C100 Mark II sensor?

26.2 × 13.8 mm (APS-C), an area of 362 mm² — 42% of full frame.

Is the Canon EOS C100 Mark II full frame?

No — its sensor is APS-C, which is 2.4× smaller in area than full frame.

How many megapixels does the Canon EOS C100 Mark II have?

2.1 megapixels (1,920 × 1,080 pixels), enough for a 6 × 4 inch print at 300 DPI.

What lens mount does the Canon EOS C100 Mark II use?

The Canon EOS C100 Mark II uses the Canon EF (flange distance 44.00 mm).

How long can I expose the night sky with the Canon EOS C100 Mark II?

With a 14 mm lens (20 mm equivalent) the 500 rule gives 24 s and the stricter NPF rule at f/2.8 gives 36 s.
