Fujifilm Digital Q1

The Fujifilm Digital Q1 is a compact from 2003 with a 1/2.3" sensor measuring 6.4 × 4.8 mm. Its crop factor is 5.41×, so a 50 mm lens frames like 270 mm on full frame. Every number below is calculated for this exact sensor.

Focal length equivalents & field of view#

Multiply any focal length by 5.41 to get the full-frame field of view. For fixed-lens cameras use the real focal length printed on the lens (e.g. “6.1–18.3 mm”), not the 35 mm equivalent.

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
4 mm (22 mm eq.)23.1 s
5 mm (27 mm eq.)18.5 s
6 mm (32 mm eq.)15.4 s
7 mm (38 mm eq.)13.2 s
9 mm (49 mm eq.)10.3 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.

Lens#

The Fujifilm Digital Q1 has a built-in, non-interchangeable lens. Use the real focal length of that lens with the tables above; its full-frame equivalent is that number × 5.41.

Frequently asked questions#

What is the crop factor of the Fujifilm Digital Q1?

The Fujifilm Digital Q1 has a crop factor of 5.41× relative to 35 mm full frame (diagonal 8.0 mm vs 43.3 mm).

What size is the Fujifilm Digital Q1 sensor?

6.4 × 4.8 mm (1/2.3"), an area of 31 mm² — 4% of full frame.

Is the Fujifilm Digital Q1 full frame?

No — its sensor is 1/2.3", which is 28.1× smaller in area than full frame.

How long can I expose the night sky with the Fujifilm Digital Q1?

With a 5 mm lens (27 mm equivalent) the 500 rule gives 18 s.
