Samsung EX2F

The Samsung EX2F is a compact with a 1/1.7" sensor measuring 7.4 × 5.8 mm. Its crop factor is 4.60×, so a 50 mm lens frames like 230 mm on full frame. Every number below is calculated for this exact sensor.

Focal length equivalents & field of view#

Multiply any focal length by 4.60 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.)27.2 s
5 mm (23 mm eq.)21.7 s
6 mm (28 mm eq.)18.1 s
8 mm (37 mm eq.)13.6 s
11 mm (51 mm eq.)9.9 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 Samsung EX2F 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 × 4.60.

Frequently asked questions#

What is the crop factor of the Samsung EX2F?

The Samsung EX2F has a crop factor of 4.60× relative to 35 mm full frame (diagonal 9.4 mm vs 43.3 mm).

What size is the Samsung EX2F sensor?

7.4 × 5.8 mm (1/1.7"), an area of 43 mm² — 5% of full frame.

Is the Samsung EX2F full frame?

No — its sensor is 1/1.7", which is 20.2× smaller in area than full frame.

How long can I expose the night sky with the Samsung EX2F?

With a 5 mm lens (23 mm equivalent) the 500 rule gives 22 s.
