Focal length equivalents & field of view#

Multiply any focal length by 1.00 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.

Aperture on this camera	Full-frame equivalent (depth of field)	Hyperfocal at 43 mm
f/1.2	f/1.2	51.5 m
f/1.4	f/1.4	44.2 m
f/1.8	f/1.8	34.3 m
f/2	f/2.0	30.9 m
f/2.8	f/2.8	22.1 m
f/4	f/4.0	15.5 m
f/5.6	f/5.6	11.1 m
f/8	f/8.0	7.76 m

Diffraction & pixel pitch#

With 5.97 µm pixels, diffraction starts to soften pixel-level detail around f/8.9. For maximum sharpness keep landscapes between f/4.9 and f/9; stopping down further trades detail for depth of field.

Aperture	Airy disk diameter	Spread over	At 100% view
f/2.8	3.8 µm	0.6 px	sharp
f/4	5.4 µm	0.9 px	sharp
f/5.6	7.5 µm	1.3 px	sharp
f/8	10.7 µm	1.8 px	sharp
f/11	14.8 µm	2.5 px	slight softening
f/16	21.5 µm	3.6 px	visibly soft
f/22	29.5 µm	4.9 px	visibly soft

Maximum print sizes#

At 24 MP the Nikon D750 produces 6,016 × 4,016 pixel images. See the 24 megapixel guide or the print size calculator.

Resolution	Typical use	Inches	Centimetres
300 DPI	Photo-lab quality	20.1 × 13.4 in	51 × 34 cm
240 DPI	Fine-art inkjet	25.1 × 16.7 in	64 × 43 cm
200 DPI	Wall print	30.1 × 20.1 in	76 × 51 cm
150 DPI	Poster, viewed from 1 m+	40.1 × 26.8 in	102 × 68 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
14 mm (14 mm eq.)	35.6 s	17.3 s	19.8 s	22.8 s
20 mm (20 mm eq.)	25.0 s	12.1 s	13.9 s	16.0 s
24 mm (24 mm eq.)	20.8 s	10.1 s	11.5 s	13.3 s
35 mm (35 mm eq.)	14.3 s	6.9 s	7.9 s	9.1 s
50 mm (50 mm eq.)	10.0 s	4.8 s	5.5 s	6.4 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
24 mm	1/25 s	0.3 s	1.3 s
50 mm	1/50 s	1/6 s	0.6 s
100 mm	1/100 s	1/13 s	0.3 s
200 mm	1/200 s	1/25 s	1/6 s
