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.

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 (18 mm eq.)27.9 s
5 mm (22 mm eq.)22.3 s
6 mm (27 mm eq.)18.6 s
8 mm (36 mm eq.)14.0 s
11 mm (49 mm eq.)10.1 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 FinePix S9600 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.

Frequently asked questions#

What is the crop factor of the Fujifilm FinePix S9600?

The Fujifilm FinePix S9600 has a crop factor of 4.48× relative to 35 mm full frame (diagonal 9.7 mm vs 43.3 mm).

What size is the Fujifilm FinePix S9600 sensor?

8.0 × 5.4 mm (1/1.7"), an area of 43 mm² — 5% of full frame.

Is the Fujifilm FinePix S9600 full frame?

No — its sensor is 1/1.7", which is 20.0× smaller in area than full frame.

How long can I expose the night sky with the Fujifilm FinePix S9600?

With a 5 mm lens (22 mm equivalent) the 500 rule gives 22 s.
