Sensor size compared#

The Canon EOS D30 sensor (highlighted) drawn to scale against common formats. Its area is 40% of a full-frame sensor, which collects about 1.3 stops less total light at the same exposure.

Focal length equivalents & field of view#

Multiply any focal length by 1.59 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.

Aperture on this camera	Full-frame equivalent (depth of field)	Hyperfocal at 27 mm
f/1.2	f/1.9	32.2 m
f/1.4	f/2.2	27.6 m
f/1.8	f/2.9	21.5 m
f/2	f/3.2	19.3 m
f/2.8	f/4.4	13.8 m
f/4	f/6.3	9.67 m
f/5.6	f/8.9	6.91 m
f/8	f/12.7	4.85 m

Diffraction & pixel pitch#

With 10.51 µm pixels, diffraction starts to soften pixel-level detail around f/15.7. For maximum sharpness keep landscapes between f/8.6 and f/16; stopping down further trades detail for depth of field.

Aperture	Airy disk diameter	Spread over	At 100% view
f/2.8	3.8 µm	0.4 px	sharp
f/4	5.4 µm	0.5 px	sharp
f/5.6	7.5 µm	0.7 px	sharp
f/8	10.7 µm	1.0 px	sharp
f/11	14.8 µm	1.4 px	sharp
f/16	21.5 µm	2.0 px	slight softening
f/22	29.5 µm	2.8 px	slight softening

Maximum print sizes#

At 3.1 MP the Canon EOS D30 produces 2,160 × 1,440 pixel images. See the 3 megapixel guide or the print size calculator.

Resolution	Typical use	Inches	Centimetres
300 DPI	Photo-lab quality	7.2 × 4.8 in	18 × 12 cm
240 DPI	Fine-art inkjet	9.0 × 6.0 in	23 × 15 cm
200 DPI	Wall print	10.8 × 7.2 in	27 × 18 cm
150 DPI	Poster, viewed from 1 m+	14.4 × 9.6 in	37 × 24 cm

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.

Focal length	500 rule	NPF f/1.8	NPF f/2.8	NPF f/4
9 mm (14 mm eq.)	35.0 s	42.0 s	45.9 s	50.6 s
13 mm (21 mm eq.)	24.2 s	29.1 s	31.8 s	35.0 s
15 mm (24 mm eq.)	21.0 s	25.2 s	27.6 s	30.4 s
22 mm (35 mm eq.)	14.3 s	17.2 s	18.8 s	20.7 s
32 mm (51 mm eq.)	9.8 s	11.8 s	12.9 s	14.2 s

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.

Focal length	No stabilisation (1/equiv. focal)	With 3-stop IS	With 5-stop IBIS
15 mm	1/25 s	0.3 s	1.3 s
32 mm	1/50 s	1/6 s	0.6 s
63 mm	1/100 s	1/13 s	0.3 s
126 mm	1/200 s	1/25 s	1/6 s
