Focal length equivalents & field of view#

Multiply any focal length by 5.69 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 1.31 µm pixels, diffraction starts to soften pixel-level detail around f/2.0. For maximum sharpness keep landscapes between f/2.8 and f/2; stopping down further trades detail for depth of field.

Maximum print sizes#

At 16.1 MP the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ35 produces 4,633 × 3,475 pixel images. See the 16 megapixel guide or the print size calculator.

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.

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 Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ35 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 × 5.69.

Frequently asked questions#

What is the crop factor of the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ35?

The Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ35 has a crop factor of 5.69× relative to 35 mm full frame (diagonal 7.6 mm vs 43.3 mm).

What size is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ35 sensor?

6.1 × 4.6 mm (1/2.3"), an area of 28 mm² — 3% of full frame.

Is the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ35 full frame?

No — its sensor is 1/2.3", which is 31.2× smaller in area than full frame.

How many megapixels does the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ35 have?

16.1 megapixels (4,633 × 3,475 pixels), enough for a 15 × 12 inch print at 300 DPI.

How long can I expose the night sky with the Panasonic Lumix DMC-TZ35?

With a 5 mm lens (28 mm equivalent) the 500 rule gives 18 s and the stricter NPF rule at f/2.8 gives 27 s.
