Sensor size compared#

The Fujifilm XQ1 sensor (highlighted) drawn to scale against common formats. Its area is 7% of a full-frame sensor, which collects about 3.9 stops less total light at the same exposure.

Focal length equivalents & field of view#

Multiply any focal length by 3.93 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.

Aperture on this camera	Full-frame equivalent (depth of field)	Hyperfocal at 11 mm
f/1.2	f/4.7	13.2 m
f/1.4	f/5.5	11.3 m
f/1.8	f/7.1	8.82 m
f/2	f/7.9	7.94 m
f/2.8	f/11.0	5.68 m
f/4	f/15.7	3.98 m
f/5.6	f/22.0	2.84 m
f/8	f/31.5	1.99 m

Diffraction & pixel pitch#

With 2.20 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	13.4 px	visibly soft

Maximum print sizes#

At 12 MP the Fujifilm XQ1 produces 4,000 × 3,000 pixel images. See the 12 megapixel guide or the print size calculator.

Resolution	Typical use	Inches	Centimetres
300 DPI	Photo-lab quality	13.3 × 10.0 in	34 × 25 cm
240 DPI	Fine-art inkjet	16.7 × 12.5 in	42 × 32 cm
200 DPI	Wall print	20.0 × 15.0 in	51 × 38 cm
150 DPI	Poster, viewed from 1 m+	26.7 × 20.0 in	68 × 51 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 (16 mm eq.)	31.8 s	32.2 s	41.0 s	51.5 s
5 mm (20 mm eq.)	25.4 s	25.8 s	32.8 s	41.2 s
6 mm (24 mm eq.)	21.2 s	21.5 s	27.3 s	34.3 s
9 mm (35 mm eq.)	14.1 s	14.3 s	18.2 s	22.9 s
13 mm (51 mm eq.)	9.8 s	9.9 s	12.6 s	15.8 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
6 mm	1/25 s	0.3 s	1.3 s
13 mm	1/50 s	1/6 s	0.6 s
25 mm	1/100 s	1/13 s	0.3 s
51 mm	1/200 s	1/25 s	1/6 s

Lens#

The Fujifilm XQ1 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 × 3.93.
