Picture Angle and Focal Length
The size of the area exposed by a 35-mm camera
is 36×24mm. The size of the area exposed by the
D40x, in contrast, is 23.6×15.8, meaning that the
picture angle of a 35-mm camera is approxi-
mately 1.5 times that of the D40x. The approxi-
mate focal length of lenses for the D40x in 35-mm
format can be calculated by multiplying the focal
length of the lens by about 1.5.
