Focal length equivalents & field of view#
Multiply any focal length by 4.48 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.

Depth of field table#
Total depth of field at each subject distance, using a circle of confusion of 6.7 µm (the 0.030 mm full-frame standard scaled by the crop factor).

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 2.19 µm pixels, diffraction starts to soften pixel-level detail around f/3.3. For maximum sharpness keep landscapes between f/2.8 and f/3; stopping down further trades detail for depth of field.
| Aperture | Airy disk diameter | Spread over | At 100% view |
|---|---|---|---|
| f/2.8 | 3.8 µm | 1.7 px | sharp |
| f/4 | 5.4 µm | 2.4 px | slight softening |
| f/5.6 | 7.5 µm | 3.4 px | visibly soft |
| f/8 | 10.7 µm | 4.9 px | visibly soft |
| f/11 | 14.8 µm | 6.7 px | visibly soft |
| f/16 | 21.5 µm | 9.8 px | visibly soft |
| f/22 | 29.5 µm | 13.5 px | visibly soft |
Maximum print sizes#
At 9 MP the Fujifilm FinePix S9500 produces 3,648 × 2,467 pixel images. See the 8 megapixel guide or the print size calculator.
| Resolution | Typical use | Inches | Centimetres |
|---|---|---|---|
| 300 DPI | Photo-lab quality | 12.2 × 8.2 in | 31 × 21 cm |
| 240 DPI | Fine-art inkjet | 15.2 × 10.3 in | 39 × 26 cm |
| 200 DPI | Wall print | 18.2 × 12.3 in | 46 × 31 cm |
| 150 DPI | Poster, viewed from 1 m+ | 24.3 × 16.4 in | 62 × 42 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 4 mm (18 mm eq.) | 27.9 s | 32.2 s | 40.9 s | 51.4 s |
| 5 mm (22 mm eq.) | 22.3 s | 25.8 s | 32.8 s | 41.2 s |
| 6 mm (27 mm eq.) | 18.6 s | 21.5 s | 27.3 s | 34.3 s |
| 8 mm (36 mm eq.) | 14.0 s | 16.1 s | 20.5 s | 25.7 s |
| 11 mm (49 mm eq.) | 10.1 s | 11.7 s | 14.9 s | 18.7 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 5 mm | 1/25 s | 0.3 s | 1.3 s |
| 11 mm | 1/50 s | 1/6 s | 0.6 s |
| 22 mm | 1/100 s | 1/13 s | 0.3 s |
| 45 mm | 1/200 s | 1/25 s | 1/6 s |
Lens#
The Fujifilm FinePix S9500 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 × 4.48.
