Focal length equivalents & field of view#
Multiply any focal length by 0.68 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.
Diffraction & pixel pitch#
With 10.79 µm pixels, diffraction starts to soften pixel-level detail around f/16.1. For maximum sharpness keep landscapes between f/8.8 and f/16; stopping down further trades detail for depth of field.
| Aperture | Airy disk diameter | Spread over | At 100% view |
|---|---|---|---|
| f/2.8 | 3.8 µm | 0.3 px | sharp |
| f/4 | 5.4 µm | 0.5 px | sharp |
| f/5.6 | 7.5 µm | 0.7 px | sharp |
| f/8 | 10.7 µm | 1.0 px | sharp |
| f/11 | 14.8 µm | 1.4 px | sharp |
| f/16 | 21.5 µm | 2.0 px | sharp |
| f/22 | 29.5 µm | 2.7 px | slight softening |
Maximum print sizes#
At 12.1 MP the Panasonic Lumix DMC-3D1 produces 5,420 × 2,233 pixel images. See the 12 megapixel guide or the print size calculator.
| Resolution | Typical use | Inches | Centimetres |
|---|---|---|---|
| 300 DPI | Photo-lab quality | 18.1 × 7.4 in | 46 × 19 cm |
| 240 DPI | Fine-art inkjet | 22.6 × 9.3 in | 57 × 24 cm |
| 200 DPI | Wall print | 27.1 × 11.2 in | 69 × 28 cm |
| 150 DPI | Poster, viewed from 1 m+ | 36.1 × 14.9 in | 92 × 38 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 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 20 mm (14 mm eq.) | 36.6 s | 19.3 s | 21.1 s | 23.2 s |
| 29 mm (20 mm eq.) | 25.2 s | 13.3 s | 14.5 s | 16.0 s |
| 35 mm (24 mm eq.) | 20.9 s | 11.1 s | 12.1 s | 13.3 s |
| 51 mm (35 mm eq.) | 14.3 s | 7.6 s | 8.3 s | 9.1 s |
| 73 mm (50 mm eq.) | 10.0 s | 5.3 s | 5.8 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 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 35 mm | 1/25 s | 0.3 s | 1.3 s |
| 73 mm | 1/50 s | 1/6 s | 0.6 s |
| 146 mm | 1/100 s | 1/13 s | 0.3 s |
| 292 mm | 1/200 s | 1/25 s | 1/6 s |
Lens#
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-3D1 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 × 0.68.
Frequently asked questions#
What is the crop factor of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-3D1?
The Panasonic Lumix DMC-3D1 has a crop factor of 0.68× relative to 35 mm full frame (diagonal 63.3 mm vs 43.3 mm).
What size is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-3D1 sensor?
58.5 × 24.1 mm (58.5 × 24.1 mm), an area of 1410 mm² — 163% of full frame.
Is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-3D1 full frame?
No — its sensor is larger than full frame (medium format).
How many megapixels does the Panasonic Lumix DMC-3D1 have?
12.1 megapixels (5,420 × 2,233 pixels), enough for a 18 × 7 inch print at 300 DPI.
How long can I expose the night sky with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-3D1?
With a 29 mm lens (20 mm equivalent) the 500 rule gives 25 s and the stricter NPF rule at f/2.8 gives 15 s.
