A Calculating Angle of View (Continued)
The DX (24×16) angle of view is about 1.5 times smaller than the 35 mm
format angle of view, while the 1.2× (30×20) angle of view is about 1.2
times smaller and the 5 : 4 (30×24) angle of view is about 1.1 times
smaller.
To calculate the focal length of lenses in 35 mm format when
DX (24×16) is selected, multiply the focal length of the lens by about
1.5, by about 1.2 when is 1.2× (30×20) selected, or by about 1.1 when
5:4 (30×24) is selected (for example, the effective focal length of a
50mm lens in 35 mm format would be 75 mm when DX (24×16) is
selected, 60 mm when 1.2× (30×20) is selected, or 55 mm when
5:4(30×24) is selected).
