Focal length equivalents & field of view#

Multiply any focal length by 1.62 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.

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. (NPF needs a known resolution and is omitted here.)

Focal length500 rule
9 mm (15 mm eq.)34.3 s
12 mm (19 mm eq.)25.7 s
15 mm (24 mm eq.)20.6 s

31 mm (50 mm eq.)9.9 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.
