Focal length equivalents & field of view#

Multiply any focal length by 1.01 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	51.8 m
f/1.4	f/1.4	44.4 m
f/1.8	f/1.8	34.6 m
f/2	f/2.0	31.1 m
f/2.8	f/2.8	22.2 m
f/4	f/4.0	15.6 m
f/5.6	f/5.6	11.1 m
f/8	f/8.1	7.81 m

Diffraction & pixel pitch#

With 3.76 µm pixels, diffraction starts to soften pixel-level detail around f/5.6. For maximum sharpness keep landscapes between f/3.1 and f/6; stopping down further trades detail for depth of field.

Aperture	Airy disk diameter	Spread over	At 100% view
f/2.8	3.8 µm	1.0 px	sharp
f/4	5.4 µm	1.4 px	sharp
f/5.6	7.5 µm	2.0 px	slight softening
f/8	10.7 µm	2.9 px	slight softening
f/11	14.8 µm	3.9 px	visibly soft
f/16	21.5 µm	5.7 px	visibly soft
f/22	29.5 µm	7.9 px	visibly soft

Maximum print sizes#

At 61 MP the Sony α7R V produces 9,504 × 6,336 pixel images. See the 61 megapixel guide or the print size calculator.

Resolution	Typical use	Inches	Centimetres
300 DPI	Photo-lab quality	31.7 × 21.1 in	80 × 54 cm
240 DPI	Fine-art inkjet	39.6 × 26.4 in	101 × 67 cm
200 DPI	Wall print	47.5 × 31.7 in	121 × 80 cm
150 DPI	Poster, viewed from 1 m+	63.4 × 42.2 in	161 × 107 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.)	35.4 s	12.5 s	15.0 s	18.0 s
20 mm (20 mm eq.)	24.8 s	8.8 s	10.5 s	12.6 s
24 mm (24 mm eq.)	20.7 s	7.3 s	8.8 s	10.5 s
35 mm (35 mm eq.)	14.2 s	5.0 s	6.0 s	7.2 s
50 mm (50 mm eq.)	9.9 s	3.5 s	4.2 s	5.1 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
99 mm	1/100 s	1/13 s	0.3 s
198 mm	1/200 s	1/25 s	1/6 s
